Create the Shopify app

To connect Sales Layer with your Shopify store, you first need to create an external app inside Shopify.

Follow these steps in Shopify:

1. Go to Settings.
   
2. Open Apps.
   
3. Enter Develop apps.
   
4. Select Build Apps in Dev Dashboard.
   
5. Click Create App and assign a name to the app.
   
    

In the App URL field, enter the following URL and uncheck Embed app in Shopify Admin.

https://saleslayer.com

Set the required permissions

In Access > Select scopes, choose the permissions needed for the connector to synchronize with Shopify. You can add them one by one, or paste the full list directly into the Scopes field.

read_files,write_files,read_fulfillments,write_fulfillments,write_inventory,read_inventory,read_locales,read_locations,read_markets,write_markets,read_metaobject_definitions,read_metaobjects,write_metaobjects,read_product_listings,read_products,write_products,read_publications,write_publications,read_translations,write_translations

Required permissions for any synchronization, including metafields:

• read_inventory
• read_locales
• read_locations
• read_products
• read_product_listings
• read_publications
• read_translations
• read_files
• write_products
• write_publications
• write_translations

Permissions for Markets:

• read_markets
• write_markets

Permissions for media files:

• read_files
• write_files

Permissions for inventory management:

• write_inventory
• read_fulfillments
• write_fulfillments

These inventory permissions are used for the following fields:

• cost_per_item
• country_code_of_origin
• requires_shipping
• tracked
• inventory_quantity
• weight_unit
• weight
• province_code_of_origin
• harmonized_system_code

Finish the Shopify setup

In the Redirect URLs field, enter the following URL and enable Use legacy install flow.

https://cloud.saleslayer.com/?sec=rst&subsec=shopify_callback

When everything is ready, click Release to launch the app.

After installing the application, open the Settings tab in Shopify to access the generated keys.

Add the credentials in Sales Layer

Once the Shopify app is created, go to the connector in Sales Layer and enter the credentials under Parameters to establish the connection.

• Set Authentication method to OAuth 2.0.
• Enter the Shopify Client ID in the connector field API key/Client ID.
• Fill in the connector field API token with any value, if required.
• Enter the Shopify Secret in the connector field Client secret (OAuth).
• In Store Name, enter the full URL of the Shopify store.
  

When you click Connect with Shopify, an access_token is generated. This token is valid for 1 hour and is refreshed automatically during connector synchronizations, so the value shown in the connector may change over time.

After the token is generated, the Locations selector for the connected store appears below in the connector.
