# Shopify

Connect a Shopify store to Jet Admin through the Admin API to build order, fulfilment and customer tools on your store data.

Connect Shopify through a [REST API resource](/getting-started/integrations/rest-api.md) using the Shopify Admin API. Shopify doesn't have a native integration yet. Setup takes a few more steps than the other sources, and you can access every Admin API object.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Grant read-only scopes unless your app needs to write. A Shopify Admin API token with write scopes can modify orders and inventory.
{% endhint %}

## What you get

You can access the objects you enable in the Admin API, including:

* Products, Variants, Inventory
* Orders, Fulfilments, Transactions
* Customers
* Discounts, Price rules

{% hint style="info" %}
The REST resource uses a direct connection. It won't appear in [data blending](/user-guide/synced-tables.md) until a native Shopify integration ships.
{% endhint %}

## Before you start

* Permission to create a custom app in your Shopify admin
* The current stable Admin API version from Shopify's own documentation

## Connect Shopify

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Create a custom app in Shopify

In your Shopify admin, go to **Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → Create an app**. Name it something recognisable, like `Jet Admin`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Configure Admin API scopes

Under **Configuration → Admin API integration**, enable only what you need:

```
read_products      read_orders       read_customers
read_inventory     read_fulfillments read_discounts
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Install the app and copy the token

Click **Install app**, then reveal and copy the **Admin API access token**. It starts with `shpat_` and is shown only once. Store it before leaving the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add a REST API resource in Jet Admin

Open **Data → Add Resource → REST API** and configure:

* **Resource name**: `Shopify`
* **Base URL**: `https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/<version>/`

Use the current stable API version.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add the token as a global header

Shopify requires its own access-token header instead of Bearer auth. Add a [global header](/getting-started/integrations/rest-api/bearer-token.md) on the resource so every request carries it:

```
X-Shopify-Access-Token: shpat_your_token_here
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Build your first request

In the Data Editor, create a `GET` request to `orders.json?status=any&limit=50`. Or paste Shopify's API reference into [Ask AI](/user-guide/ask-ai.md) and describe what you need. Ask AI will generate the request, handle pagination, and shape the response.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The Admin API uses `Link` headers for pagination and applies rate limits per store. Configure pagination on the request so tables past the first 50 rows load correctly.
{% endhint %}

## Troubleshooting

Shopify returns 401. The token is in the wrong header. Shopify needs `X-Shopify-Access-Token`, not `Authorization: Bearer`. Check the global header on the resource.

Shopify returns 403 on some endpoints. The custom app is missing that scope. Add it under **Configuration → Admin API integration**, then reinstall the app.

Only 50 rows load. Pagination isn't configured. The Admin API uses `Link`-header cursors. Set pagination on the request.

Requests fail intermittently under load. You're hitting Shopify's per-store rate limit. Reduce page size or add caching on the request.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.jetadmin.io/getting-started/migrating-a-project/shopify.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
