Prerequisites for Shopify Integration

Before you begin connecting your Shopify store to Experro Discovery, ensure you have the following:
  1. Shopify Store Admin Access
    Full administrator privileges in your Shopify store so you can create and manage custom apps and API credentials.
  2. Shopify Plan Supporting Custom Apps
    A Shopify plan (or Shopify Plus) that allows creation of custom apps or access to the “Apps & Sales Channels” → “Develop apps” section.
  3. Storefront Domains & Credentials
    The exact store domain (e.g. your-store.myshopify.com) and familiarity with where your admin access token, API key, and secret key will be displayed. (These details will also be provided in this integration guide.)
  4. API Scopes Checklist
    A list of required Admin API scopes ready to configure:
    • read_customers
