Stage 1: Create a Shopify app/sales channel for Patchworks

Introduction

In Shopify, you need to create an app/sales channel for Patchworks and then grant access for Patchworks to access your data. This is completed in two parts:

Part 1: Shopify Admin API scopes

Admin API scopes must be set to allow the Shopify connector to access your data via the Shopify Admin API. This is a standard requirement for the Shopify connector, irrespective of whether it's been installed as part of an app or as a standalone connector.

Please follow the steps detailed on our Shopify (prebuilt connector) page under Obtaining credentials, then go to Part 2.

Part 2: Shopify Storefront API scopes

Storefront API scopes are not required for general use but they ARE needed for the Shopify & Virtualstock Supplier blueprint. Please follow the steps below to grant the required access permissions.

Step 1 Still in the Shopify admin portal with your Patchworks app/integration, select the review configuration option from the overview tab:

Step 2 Scroll to the end of the page and select the configure button for Storefront API integration:

Step 3 In the list of scopes, scroll down to the Products section and enable the following three items:

  • unauthenticated_read_product_listings

  • unauthenticated_read_product_inventory

  • unauthenticated_read_product_tags

For example:

Step 4 Save your changes.

Step 5 Go to the next stage.
