Creating a Custom OAuth Application

Since the add-in is not registered with Shopify you must use custom OAuth credentials to connect via web, desktop, or headless server. To register a Public or Custom app and obtain the client credentials, such as the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Shopify with the developer login portal.
2. Select Apps > Create app > Create app manually.
3. Enter a name for the application and click Create.
4. Record the API key and API secret displayed on the Overview page.
5. Navigate to the App setup page. If necessary, use this page to request additional access to certain tables, views, or stores.
6. At Allowed redirection URL(s), specify an App URL, and a redirection URL.
   • For Desktop authentication, set the redirection URL to a local host; for example, http://localhost:3333, the provider's default.
   • For Web authentication, select a different port of your choice and set the CallbackURL to the exact reply URL you defined.
7. Click Save.
8. Navigate to the Distribution page.
9. Either publish your application on the Shopify App Store as a public application, or generate an installation link exclusive to one store.

You may now use the API key and API secret key credentials to access your store's data.
