## Shopify Connector Setup

To connect your Shopify store to dex, you'll need to generate API credentials and configure read-only access in your Shopify Admin.

### 1. Create a Custom App in Shopify

1. Go to your **Shopify Admin Panel**.
2. In the left menu, click **Settings** → **Apps and sales channels**.
3. Click **Develop apps** (enable this option if prompted).
4. Click **Create an app**.
5. Enter a name (e.g., `dex_shopify_connector)` and select an app developer.

### 2. Configure API Access Scopes

1. Go to the **Configuration** tab of your app.
2. Click **Configure Admin API scopes**.
3. Select **read-only** permissions for the relevant resources:

```
read_orders
read_products
read_customers
read_inventory
read_discounts
read_analytics
read_fulfillments
read_shipping
read_locales
read_marketing_events
read_checkouts
read_reports
read_price_rules
read_translations
```

4. Click **Save**.

### 3. Install the App and Generate Credentials

1. Open the **API Credentials** tab.
2. Click **Install App** to install it on your store.
3. Once installed, click **Reveal token once** to view your **Admin API access token**.
4. Copy the following details for use in dex:

* Admin API Access Token
* API Key
* Store name
* API version (e.g., `2024-10`)

### 4. Configure the Connector in dex

In the **Advanced Settings** screen inside dex:

| Field           | Description                                         |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **API Key**     | Your Admin API Access Token                         |
| **Store**       | Your store name (e.g., `my-store`)                  |
| **API Version** | The API version you noted earlier (e.g., `2024-10`) |
| **Path Params** | Leave empty unless otherwise instructed             |

Click **Test and Save** to validate the connection.

Once connected, dex will begin syncing data from your Shopify store, giving you access to orders, products, customers, and more — all in your own cloud environment.

{% hint style="info" %}
dex currently supports the Shopify **REST API**, which continues to function but is no longer actively updated by Shopify beyond version `2025-01`.\
Shopify has since introduced a new **GraphQL API**, which is supported via a separate connector.
{% endhint %}
