Shopify

To setup a Shopify store on Despatch Cloud, you must have the login credentials for the Shopify store you wish to setup. As you can see in the picture below, there are some fields like API Key and Password that you need to obtain from your Shopify store.

To obtain these credentials, you will need to login to your Shopify store and create a new Private App. In order to create a Private App follow the steps below:

Login to your Shopify store admin panel, select the "Apps" from the left pane.

A modal will appear asking to give your app a name and assign a developer. Give your App name as "Despatch Cloud".

Now we need to configure the app with the required access scopes to work with Despatch Cloud. Go to the "Configuration" tab and click the "Configure" button.

Here are the access scopes you'll need (Despatch Cloud's Shopify integration currently does not utilise Shopify webhooks):

The next step is to Install the App, which will then give us an access token to use. Navigate to the "API credentials" tab and click the "Install app" button.

This will present you with this modal. Click the "Install" button to continue.

This will allow you to retrieve your access token. Click the "Reveal token once" link and you'll be presented with your access token. It will be in the format of: shpat_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Within Despatch Cloud (or Shipper), go to Install a Shopify store and complete the input fields in the modal.

For hostname, enter your Shopify subdomain (eg. if your Shopify domain is mystore.myshopify.com, then populate the hostname field as mystore).

Next, check the Use Access Token checkbox, and copy and paste the Shopify access token into the Access Token field.

Once this has been done, you can click Install/Submit and your Shopify store is now connected with Despatch Cloud.
