Overview

SHOPLINE lets merchants generate a static access token directly from their store admin, without going through an OAuth flow. You need two things to connect: your store’s handle and an access token.

​
Instructions

​
Step 1: Finding your store handle

Your store handle is the first part of your SHOPLINE store’s domain. For example, if your store is at open001.myshopline.com, your handle is open001.

​
Step 2: Generating an access token

  1. In your SHOPLINE admin, go to Apps -> Develop apps and create a new app (name, developer, contact email).
  1. Open the app, click Edit, and assign the Backend API permissions your integration needs.
  1. Go to the API Certificate tab and click Install App.
  2. Once installed, view the Access Token. SHOPLINE emails a verification code to your login email — enter it to reveal and copy the token.
The access token is valid for 3 years. Once it expires, you’ll need to generate a new one and reauthorize the connection.

​
Step 3: Authorize SHOPLINE

  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with SHOPLINE.
  2. Enter your Store Handle and paste your Access Token.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to SHOPLINE.
