Setting up a Shopify Shopping Cart

Overview

• To allow Stone Edge to get and manage orders from Shopify, you will have to create a Custom App to enable access to your data.
• The instructions below will show you how to make the Custom App with the correct permissions and what information you need to send to Stone Edge to enable the integration.
• The Custom App will NOT work if you are on Shopify’s “Basic” plan.

NOTE: The Shopify integration was previously made through private apps. As of January 2022, private apps have been depreciated on Shopify. Click HERE for more information.

Generating a Custom App within Shopify

   5. Select “Create an App” on the top right.
      
   6. Name your Custom App.  You can name it whatever you like.  We recommend “StoneEdge” so that it’s recognizable.
