Generate credentials from the Shopify admin #

Before you can authenticate a private app to Shopify, you need to generate the required credentials from the Shopify admin of the store that you want to connect with your app.

Log in and then generate the required credentials from the test store admin:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.
2. Click Manage private apps, near the bottom of the page.
3. Click Create a new private app.
4. In the App details section, enter a name for the private app and a contact email address. Shopify uses the email address to contact the developer if there is an issue with the private app, such as when an API change might break it.
5. In the Admin API section, select the areas of your store that you want the app to be able to access.
6. In the  API permissions section, select which types of data you want to expose to the app.
7. Click Save.

You’ll see your API key and password in the Admin API section. You can use these credentials to make authenticated requests to the Shopify store that uses your application.

Caution

Treat the API key and password like you would any other password, because whoever has access to these credentials has full API access to the store.
