Connect Your Shopify Product Catalog Using a Legacy Admin API Access Token

If your Shopify account does not show the Build apps in Dev Dashboard option, or if the Client ID and Client Secret fields are absent when creating your catalog in impact.com, use this guide to connect your Shopify product catalog using a legacy Admin API access token instead.

Ready to upgrade? If your Shopify account now shows the Build apps in Dev Dashboard option, see Connect your Shopify product catalog for the current setup guide.

1

Create a custom app

  1. In Shopify, from the left navigation menu, select [Settings] → Apps → Develop apps.

  2. Select Create an app.

  3. In the Create an app modal, name your app and select Create app.

  4. Select the Configuration tab, then next to Admin API integration, select Configure to configure the app settings:

    1. Below Admin API access scopes, check the following scopes: read_inventory, read_product_listings, read_products .

  5. Select Save.

Important: The Admin API access token is displayed only once. Copy it immediately and store it securely before closing the page.

2

Install the app on your Shopify store

  1. Once your app is created, select the API credentials tab, then Install app.

  2. On the Install modal, select Install.

  3. On the API credentials tab, locate your Admin API access token.

  4. Copy your Admin API access token — it begins with shpat_ or shap_. You'll use this as the Password (or Access Token) field when creating your catalog in impact.com in Step 4.

3

Get your Shopify catalog URL

  1. In Shopify, from the left navigation menu, select [Settings] → Domains.

  2. Copy your base myshopify.com URL (for example, https://mystorename.myshopify.com).

  2. Select Create Product Catalog Asset → Retail.

  3. Next to Upload Method, select Integrated Shopping Cart Import.

  4. From the [Drop-down menu], select Shopify.

  5. Below Base URL, enter your catalog URL, including the protocol (for example, https://my-example-store.myshopify.com).

  6. [Toggle on] Legacy Auth and paste the Admin API access token copied in Step 2.

  7. Complete the remaining catalog details and select Save.

    1. You should see the added catalog in a Pending state on the Product Catalogs screen.
