Introduction

In this article, we describe how to integrate with a Shopify vendor. If your vendor has a Shopify store, Onport can automatically sync products and orders.

Disclaimers

These are the new Shopify instructions as of early 2022. All new vendors and vendors who need to make changes to their current integration should use this method. Please see here for the old method info.

Only the store owner can enable custom app development.

Enable custom app development from the Shopify admin (Shopify Partners site)

Before you can create a custom app for your store, you need to enable custom app development.

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

2. Click Develop apps:
   
   

3. Click Allow custom app development.

4. Read the warning and information provided, and then click Allow custom app development.

Create and install a custom app

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

2. Click Develop apps.
   
   
   
   

3. Click Create an app.
   
   
   
   

4. In the modal window, enter the App name (Onport or, if you'd like, you can enter the marketplace's name to better identify orders by the app syncing them) and select an App developer. The app developer can be the store owner or any staff or collaborator account with the Develop apps permission.
   
   
   
   

5. Click Create app.
   
   

6. Click Select Configure Admin API scopes, and select the following permissions:

7. Click Save
   
   
8. Click Install App
   
   
   
   
9. Under the API Credentials tab copy the Admin API access token. This key can only be accessed one time so please make sure to copy it before navigating away from the page. If you do not copy it you will need to click uninstall and then reinstall and copy the new key.
