Step-by-Step Guide to Connecting Shopify.com to Albato

Before setting up integrations with Shopify.com, you need to connect your Shopify.com account to Albato. This process involves accessing your Shopify Admin and working with APIs to ensure seamless connectivity.

Please note, Shopify no longer provides Customer PII (name, surname, email, phone, and meta fields) through the orders API for Custom Apps on the Basic or free plan. You need to upgrade to the Advanced Plan and purchase the Customer PII add-on.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Log in to your Albato account.

2. Go to the Apps section and click Add a connection.

3. Type Shopify in the search field and select Shopify (NewAuth) from the results.

4. Enter an internal name for the connection. This name helps you identify it when adding the app to an automation — especially useful if you plan to connect multiple Shopify accounts.

5. You will be asked to provide a Client ID and a Client Secret from Shopify. Keep this screen open and proceed to the next steps in a new tab to generate these credentials.

6. Log in to your Shopify account and navigate to the developer area. Click Create app.

7. Enter a name for the app — any name works — then click Create.

8. Configure the app scopes (permissions). Select all available scopes. The mandatory ones are: Customers, Draft orders, Orders, and Store content. If you plan to use custom connection methods, add any additional scopes your workflow requires.

9. Click Release to apply the scope settings.

10. Enter a version name for the app — the default is v.1 — then click Release again.

11. Once the app is released, open its Settings.

12. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret shown on the Settings screen.

13. Before leaving Shopify, confirm that the app is installed in your Shopify store. Navigate to the app's Home tab and click Install app.

14. Return to Albato. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret into the corresponding fields, enter your store URL, and click Continue.

Your connection is now active and ready to use in Albato automations.
