Creating a Private Shopify App ​

Step by step tutorial

Step 1 ​

Creating a private app

  • A custom app must be setup within the Shopify admin dashboard

This can be done by going to:

https://admin.shopify.com/store/<STORE_NAME>/settings/apps/development

TIP

We will need the STORE_NAME to complete the integration. Make a note of it for later!

Step 2 ​

Click "Create an app"

Click the big green button on the far right

Step 3 ​

Finish modal

Set a name for the custom app. We recommend WRKOUT Sync.

The app developer doesn't matter, as this is a private app. Feel free to leave the default.

Step 4 ​

Configure Admin API Scopes

We need to be able to read/write to order, read inventory levels, and read products.

Click Configure Admin API scopes (grey button) to proceed.

Step 5 ​

Configure Admin API Scopes

Select 4 checkboxes to grant our app the permissions it requires.

  • read_inventory
  • write_orders,read_orders
  • read_products

TIP

You can use the filter/search to speed this up

Click Install app, then click "install" on the confirmation modal.

Step 8 ​

Save the access token

You will now be able to copy the generated access token.

DANGER

This can only be REVEALED ONCE.

We need this to finish the integration, make sure it is properly saved before moving on to the next step.

Click "Reveal token once" and store it.

Finished With App Setup ​

Thanks for getting this far! You're a champ 😃

With the token and the store name, we can now send orders from WRKOUT over to your store!

The only part left to finish is for your store to tell us when you fulfill an order of ours.

That's handled in the next part with a fulfillment webhook

Almost done!
