When connecting your Shopify Store with any custom app, you will need to manage API access tokens from your Shopify Store. In order to use our Shopify integration you will need the URL of your Shopify Store and an API access token. In this article, you will learn how to generate and find this API access token within your Shopify Store.

❌ Warning: Shopify updated its custom app experience, which means the steps to create a custom app and set up the integration have changed.

-> This does not affect existing integrations.

Shopify made an update in January 2026, changing the way to create custom apps. This also changes the way to integrate Shopify to StoryChief, so we updated the help article on Connect your Shopify website.
