Shopify integration just got simpler! No custom app setup required

May 28, 2026

Connecting Shopify is now much simpler. You can link your store with the Shopify OAuth app in under a minute, without API tokens, custom app setup, or developer configuration.

Note: Existing integrations are not affected. If you've already connected Shopify using the custom app method, your integration continues to work as-is. No action required.

What changed

  • Simplified OAuth connection: connect your Shopify store directly with one click. You do not need to create a custom app or copy API tokens from Shopify.
  • Safer connection: OAuth 2.0 avoids long-lived API credentials. Access is scoped, auditable, and can be removed from your Shopify admin.
  • Same sync options: historic and real-time sync still work for customers, orders, transactions, products, and collections.
  • Faster setup: connecting Shopify now takes less than a minute, with no manual API token generation.

How it works

  • Step 1: Go to Settings > Integrations > Shopify and click Connect.
  • Step 2: Enter your Shopify store URL and click Next.
  • Step 3: Select your import and sync preferences, click Save
  • Step 4: You will be redirected to Shopify to review the requested permissions and click Install.
  • Step 5: Once approved, you'll be redirected back to your account automatically and you're all set!

Why it matters

Store owners can connect Shopify without creating a custom app or understanding API scopes.

Faster setup for multiple stores: if you manage multiple Shopify stores, each connection can be set up more quickly.

The Shopify connection now uses Shopify's standard authorization flow, so setup feels familiar and avoids third-party token handling.
