How to get your Shopify API access token

This guide walks you through the process of finding and generating your Admin API access token in Shopify. Whether you are a webshop manager or e-commerce expert, the guide explains step by step how to access this crucial component for your online store.

First, log in to your Shopify store as the store manager.

Click on 'Apps' in the admin section on the left.

A drop-down menu will appear. Click on 'App and sales channel settings'.

In the next window that appears, click on 'Develop apps'.

In the next window that appears, click on 'Create an app'.

You will be asked to name your app and add your email in the 'App developer' text box. Then click on 'Create app'.

After you have created an app, go to the 'Configuration' tab and select 'Configure' in the 'Admin API integration' section.

Under 'Admin API access scopes' you will see many categories. Check the boxes for the following scopes:

write_orders, read_orders, read_products, read_product_listings, write_returns, read_returns, write_fulfillments, read_fulfillments, read_assigned_fulfillment_orders, read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders, write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders, write_inventory, read_inventory, read_publications

Go to the 'API data' tab.

Click on 'Install app' in the 'Access tokens' box.

Confirm the installation by clicking 'Install' in the window that appears.

You will now see that your Admin API access token has been generated. Click on 'Reveal token once' and you will see the token that you can copy to use in your Afosto account.
