🚀 Quick Start Instructions
You'll need: Admin access to your Shopify store
Time required: 2-3 minutes
📍 Step 1: Access Your Shopify Admin
Admin URL Format:
https://your-store-name.myshopify.com/admin
Example:
https://emvaro-designs.myshopify.com/admin
Replace "your-store-name" with your actual Shopify store name
💡 Don't know your store name?
- Check any email from Shopify (it's in the sender domain)
- Look at your current Shopify admin URL when logged in
- It's usually your business name with hyphens instead of spaces
🔧 Step 2: Create a Private App
- In your Shopify admin, navigate to:
Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps
- Click: "Create an app"
- App name: "Shopify Manager" (or any name you prefer)
- App developer: Your name or business name
- Click: "Create app"
🔐 Step 3: Configure API Access
- Click: "Configure Admin API scopes"
- Required permissions for this app:
✅ Tax & Location Settings App:
read_locations - View store locationswrite_locations - Edit location settings and addresses
📦 For Inventory Quick View:
read_products - View product informationread_inventory - View inventory levelswrite_inventory - Update stock levelsread_locations - View store locations
💰 For Price Updater:

📊 For Order Analytics:
read_orders - View order dataread_customers - View customer informationread_products - View product details
💡 Pro Tip: Enable all permissions now to use all Shopify Manager apps!
- Click: "Save" to configure the scopes
🔑 Step 4: Install and Get Your Access Token
- Click: "Install app" (this activates the private app)
- Click: "Reveal token once" in the Admin API access token section
- Copy the token - it starts with "shpat_"
- ⚠️ Important: Save this token securely - you won't be able to see it again!
🔒 Security Notes:
- Your token is stored locally in your browser only
- Never share your access token with others
- You can revoke access anytime by uninstalling the private app
- Private apps are more secure than public OAuth apps for personal use
🎉 Step 5: Connect to the App
- Store URL: Enter your store name (e.g., "emvaro-designs" not the full URL)
- Access Token: Paste the "shpat_..." token you copied
- Click: "Connect to Shopify"
🔧 Troubleshooting:
- CORS Error: Make sure you're using HTTPS (https://shopifymanager.us)
- Permission Error: Double-check you enabled the required scopes
- Token Error: Ensure you copied the complete token including "shpat_"
- URL Error: Use just your store name, not the full .myshopify.com URL
🔄 Using Multiple Apps
Good news! Once you set up one app with the right permissions, you can use the same credentials across all Shopify Manager apps. The system will automatically sync your login across apps.
Recommended approach: Enable all permissions listed above when creating your private app so you can use every tool in the Shopify Manager suite!
