Shopify Integration Setup#

What is Shopify Integration?

Eden's Shopify integration allows you to programmatically create and manage products in your Shopify store. This enables automated product creation, inventory management, and store operations through Eden's AI-powered tools.

Prerequisites#

Before setting up Shopify integration, you'll need:

  • A Shopify store (either a paid plan or Shopify Plus)
  • Admin access to your Shopify store
  • Basic understanding of Shopify's admin interface

Getting Your Shopify Credentials#

Step 1: Create a Private App#

  1. Log into your Shopify Admin

  2. Go to your Shopify store's admin panel. If you need to create a new shopify go to https://accounts.shopify.com/ and sign up as appropriate, then create a store

  3. Navigate to Settings → Apps and sales channels

  4. Create a Private App

  5. Click on Develop apps (or Manage private apps for older stores)

  6. Click 'Allow custom app development' if not already selected

Allow custom app development

  • Click Create an app
  • Give your app a name (e.g., "Eden Integration")
  • Select your email address as the developer email

  • Click Create app

  • Configure App Permissions

  • Click on Configure Admin API scopes

  • Enable the following permissions:
    • Products: read_products, write_products
    • Inventory: read_inventory, write_inventory
    • Locations: read_locations, write_locations
    • Publications: read_publications, write_publications

  • Click Save

  • Install the App

  • Click Install app to install it on your store. You may need to close the settings and reopen them for the button to enable.
  • Confirm the installation

Step 2: Get Your Access Token#

After installing the app:

  1. Copy the Access Token

  2. In your app's overview page, you'll see an Admin API access token

  3. Click Reveal token once to see it

  4. Copy this token immediately - you won't be able to see it again. It should start with shpat

  5. Note Your Store Name

  6. Your store name is the subdomain of your Shopify store

  7. For example, if your store URL is mystore.myshopify.com, your store name is mystore

Store name configuration

  1. Get Your Location ID

  2. Go to Settings → Locations

  3. You'll see a list of your store's locations (warehouses, retail stores, etc.). For new stores this may just be 'Shop location' and then a country.
  4. Select a location
  5. Note the Location ID for your primary location. This is located at the end of the URL in your URL bar
  6. The Location ID is a numeric value (e.g., 123456789)
