AlphaWebConnect your Shopify store
Connect Shopify so AlphaWeb imports your products and orders. It takes about 10 minutes. You create a private AlphaWeb app in Shopify and paste its details into AlphaWeb.
Open the Shopify Connector in AlphaWeb
Start the connection in AlphaWeb so you can copy the permissions your app needs.
- In AlphaWeb, open Ecommerce Admin → Settings → Shopify, or click Connect your Shopify on the Connect your AI page.
- Click Connect Shopify. Keep this tab open: you will paste details here later.
- Don’t see Ecommerce Admin? Your store is still being set up. Wait a few minutes and refresh.
Copy the scopes
The list of permissions your AlphaWeb app in Shopify needs.
- On the right of the form, under Scopes to add to your AlphaWeb app, leave Also enable Adaptive Checkout on.
- Click Copy scopes.
- Leaving Adaptive Checkout on now saves you releasing a second app version later.
Create the AlphaWeb app in Shopify
Make a private app for your store in the Shopify Dev Dashboard.
- Open the Shopify Dev Dashboard and sign in with the account that owns your store.
- Click Create app, name it AlphaWeb and create it.
- You need to be the store owner, or a staff member allowed to develop apps.
Paste the scopes and release a version
The version tells Shopify what AlphaWeb may access.
- In your AlphaWeb app, open Versions and create a new version.
- Paste the copied list into the Scopes field.
- Click Release.
- Paste the whole list into the one Scopes field. Do not add scopes one by one.
Install the app on your store
Approve the app so it can read your products and orders.
- In the app’s overview, click Install app and choose your store.
- Review the permissions and click Install.
- Installing on the wrong store? Uninstall it there and install it on the right one.
Copy the Client ID and Client secret
These let AlphaWeb sign in to your store as the app.
- In the app, open Settings.
- Copy the Client ID and the Client secret.
- Use the Client ID and Client secret. Older custom-app access tokens (shpat_…) do not work.
Paste them into AlphaWeb and connect
Finish the form you opened in the first step.
- Fill in Store name (any name you like).
- Fill in Shopify shop domain, for example your-store.myshopify.com.
- Paste the Client ID and Client secret.
- Click Connect store. Your products start importing straight away.
- Use the .myshopify.com domain, not your custom domain.
- An error about missing scopes? Release a new version with the full copied list and install it again.
