Step 1 - Go to Integrations

In Alvas, go to Settings -> Market Integrations or click here.

Click on the Shopify integration.

This opens a pop up, where you need to add a few details.

The details that you need to add are a little more thorough than your typical Shopify App.

This is because Alvas is built to handle all your markets at once, this is both for products, customers and localizes links.

You need to add:

• My Shopify Domain
• Storefront URL (the localized url that your customers go to when they visit your website)
• Admin API Access Token
• Storefront Access Token
• Product Mapping (more on that later on. Standard is to leave it to the default value)
• API Selection (more on that later on. Standard is to leave it to the default value)

Start by inputting your My Shopify Domain and Storefront URL.

Step 2 - Create Custom App in Shopify

Go to your Shopify Admin panel, and click on Settings in the bottom left corner.

In settings, go to "Apps and sales channels".

Click "Develop apps".

Please note, if you cannot see that button, it's because your profile does not have access to add an App in your Shopify store. In that case, please reach out to your Shopify Admin and ask for access to develop custom apps in Shopify.

Click "Create An App"

Give it a name like "Alvas".

And click "Create app".

Now you've created the app and we need to configure access scopes so that you can get your API keys, that needs to be inserted into Alvas.

Step 3 - Configure Admin API Scopes

Start by configuring Admin API Scopes.

Search the scope "read_products" and enable it.

Search the scope "read_customer_events" and enable it.

Search the scope "read_customers" and enable it.

Search the scope "read_orders" and enable it.

Click "Save".

And click "Install app".

And click "Install"

Now, you need to copy the Admin API key into Alvas. So click "Reveal once" on the Admin API Access token.

Once you can see the API Key, copy it.

And paste it into Alvas in the Admin API Access Token.

Step 4 - Configure Storefront Access Token

Inside the Shopify app you just created, go into "Configuration".

Now you should configure the Storefront API Integration. To do so, click on "Configure".

Enable the unauthenticated_read_customers.

Enable the unauthenticated_read_product_listings.

Click "Save".

Go to "API credentials".

Copy the Storefront API Access Token.

Paste it into Alvas in the Storefront API Access Token.

Step 5 - Add Integration

Lastly, you should select the Product Mapping for your store.

Select "Product ID", if the global unique identifier for products across your markets is the ID on a product.

Select "Variant SKU", if the SKU on a variant is the global unique identifier for products across your markets.

When selecting the API Selection choose the following:

Select "Admin API" if your My Shopify Domain is the same across all your markets in Shopify.

Select the "Storefront API" if your My Shopify Domain is different across all your markets in Shopify.

When you click "Add" you've successfully added the integration.
