📖 How to Use

Prerequisites

You need two pieces of information from your Shopify store:

1. Store URL: Your myshopify.com domain (e.g., my-store.myshopify.com)
2. Admin API Access Token: A private app access token with appropriate permissions

Getting Your API Credentials

Step 1: Create a Custom App

1. Go to your Shopify admin panel
2. Navigate to Settings → Apps and sales channels
3. Click Develop apps → Create an app
4. Name your app (e.g., "Automation Toolkit")

Step 2: Configure API Scopes

Enable these scopes based on the tasks you want to use:

• read_products - For product exports and analytics
• write_products - For bulk product updates
• read_orders - For order exports and sales reports
• read_customers - For customer exports
• read_inventory - For inventory sync
• write_inventory - For inventory updates

Step 3: Get Your Access Token

1. Install the app to your store
2. Copy the Admin API access token (starts with shpat_)
3. Keep this token secure and never share it publicly
