# SHOPLINE - How do I link my account?

# 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).

2. Open the app, click **Edit**, and assign the Backend API permissions your integration needs.

3. Go to the **API Certificate** tab and click **Install App**.

4. Once installed, view the **Access Token**. SHOPLINE emails a verification code to your login email — enter it to reveal and copy the token.

<Note>
  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.
