Getting Started

To get started, the first step is to create your API credentials in your Shopify account.

Once you have located the API Keys, we encourage you to explore the Integrations overview page via the online platform C-sar to better understand the available features and options.

Enabling the custom app development feature

Before creating your API credentials, it's essential for the store owner to first enable the custom app development feature.
💡 Only the store owner can enable the custom app development feature.

Log in to your Shopify account.
Navigate to Apps.
Click Develop apps.
Click Allow custom app development.
A warning pops up, click Allow custom app development to apply.

After you've enabled custom app development, you can create and install a custom app and define your API permissions.

After the app is installed, you'll receive API credentials - API key and Admin API access token (=password) - that Cropster uses to access information from your store using Shopify's APIs.

From your Shopify admin, go to Apps via the sidebar on the left hand side.
Click Develop apps.
Click Create a custom app top right.
Enter the App name (e.g. Cropster integration) and select an App developer.
The app developer can be the store owner, or any staff or collaborator account with the Develop apps permission.
Click Create app.
To assign the permission, click Configure Admin API scopes.
Scroll down to Orders and check the box next to read_orders.
Scroll down to Products and check the box next to read_products.
Scroll back up and click Save to apply your changes.
Switch to the Overview tab and click Install app.
A warning pops up, confirm by clicking Install app.
You have now created your API credentials (API key and Admin API access token).
💡You can see the Admin API access token on this page only one time.
