Step 3: Open Shopify App Settings
- In Shopify Admin, go to Settings
- Go to Apps and click Develop apps -> Build apps in Dev Dashboard

Step 4: Create or Select a Shopify App
You can either use an existing app or create a new one.

Scope changes require app reinstallation.

Step 5: Install the App

- Click Install app

6.1 Client ID & Client Secret
- In the app dashboard, open Settings
- Copy:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
6.2 Shopify Store Domain
- Open Shopify Admin
👉 https://admin.shopify.com - Check the URL in your browser:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/YOUR-STORE-NAME - Your store domain is:
your-store-name.myshopify.com
Step 7: Connect Shopify to Hello Clever
- Return to the Hello Clever – Shopify Connector
- Enter:
- Store Name
- Store URL (
your-store-name.myshopify.com) - Client ID

Required Shopify API Scopes
Enable the following Admin API read scopes:
| Scope | Purpose |
|---|---|
read_products | Access products and variants |
read_orders | Access order data |
read_customers | Access customer information |
read_inventory | Access inventory levels |
read_locations | Access store locations |
Common Issues
Any change to API scopes requires the app to be reinstalled.
Missing scopes may cause incomplete or failed data sync.
Ensure Client ID and Client Secret are copied exactly from the app settings.
Shopify will deny API access if the app is not installed.
