# Shopify

You can use the Shopify connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Shopify and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Shopify Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Shopify, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Shopify** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Shopify connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Shopify

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

**Shop URL:** Enter the URL to your Shopify shop.

CData Sync supports authenticating to Shopify in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**OAuth**](#oauth) (default)
* [**Access Token**](#access-token)

### OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuth**.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li></ul>

### Access Token

To connect with an access token, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AccessToken**.
* **Access Token:** Specify your Shopify access token. To obtain a token, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your Shopify site from the admin page and select **Apps > Apps and sales channels**.
  2. Click **Develop apps** and select **Create an app**.
  3. On the **Overview** tab, click **Configure Admin API scopes** and select the access permissions for the store that you want to grant to your application. The following permissions are required in order for the Sync connector to use all the tables and views:
     * read\_assigned\_fulfillment\_orders, write\_assigned\_fulfillment\_orders
     * read\_content, write\_content
     * read\_customers, write\_customers
     * read\_draft\_orders, write\_draft\_orders
     * read\_fulfillments, write\_fulfillments
     * read\_gift\_cards, write\_gift\_cards
     * read\_inventory, write\_inventory
     * read\_marketing\_events, write\_marketing\_events
     * read\_orders, write\_orders
     * read\_price\_rules, write\_price\_rules
     * read\_product\_listings, write\_product\_listings
     * read\_products, write\_products
     * read\_reports, write\_reports
     * read\_script\_tags, write\_script\_tags
     * read\_shopify\_payments\_payouts
     * read\_themes, write\_themes
     * read\_markets
     * read\_shopify\_payments\_accounts
     * read\_publications
     * unauthenticated\_read\_content (Storefront API)
  4. Click **Save**.
  5. Select **API Credentials**.
  6. Under **Access tokens**, click **Install app**. This action creates your access token.
  7. Copy the access token that is displayed under **Admin API Access token** and paste it in the **Access Token** field in Sync.

     > [!NOTE]
     >
     > The token can be revealed and copied only once.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. For **Schema**, select the Shopify server version to which you want to connect. The default server version is **GRAPHQL-20204-07**.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. If you authenticate with OAuth, click **Connect to Shopify** to connect to your Shopify account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
