The default [Shopify connection](/integrations/shopify) needs only your store domain and one approval click — Ryze requests a standard set of permissions for you. A **custom app** is the alternative for teams that want to stay in control: * You define exactly which Admin API scopes Ryze gets — nothing more. * You can rotate the credentials or revoke access any time from your Shopify admin. * Access runs through an app your team owns, not a third-party install. If our defaults work for you, the default connection is faster. Otherwise, follow the steps below: create the app, configure it, copy the credentials, connect. ## Step 1 — Create a custom app in Shopify In your Shopify admin, go to **Settings**, then open **Apps and sales channels**. Apps and sales channels in Shopify settings In the top-right corner, click **Develop apps**. The Develop apps button Click **Build apps in Dev Dashboard**. Build apps in Dev Dashboard Click **Create app**. Create app in the Dev Dashboard Under **Start from Dev Dashboard**, enter a name (e.g. `Ryze AI`) and click **Create**. Name the app and create it ## Step 2 — Configure the app Under **URLs → App URL**, enter `https://reports.get-ryze.ai` and keep **Embed app in Shopify admin** checked. Set the App URL Under **Access → Scopes**, paste this comma-separated list — or trim it to just the features you plan to use. Missing scopes won't block the connection, but the related features will fail later (for example, without `write_content` Ryze can't publish articles to your blog). You can always add scopes later in the same screen — but scopes added later only take effect after you **Release** a new version and **Install/approve** it on your store (Steps below), then reconnect once in Ryze. ``` read_analytics,read_content,read_metaobjects,read_orders,read_products,read_publications,read_reports,read_themes,write_content,write_metaobjects,write_products,write_publications,write_themes ``` A custom app can also grant scopes our default connection never requests. Add these only if you need them: `read_markets,write_markets` for market and domain settings, and `write_online_store_navigation` for URL redirects. Proposals that depend on these stay **Blocked** on the default connection, because those scopes are not part of the standard Ryze app. Add the required scopes Under **Redirect URLs**, enter `https://reports.get-ryze.ai/api/auth/shopify/callback`. Add the redirect URL Click **Release**, confirm in the dialog, and release the version. This activates the app. Release the app version Open the app and click **Install app** (top-right). This installs the app on your store so Ryze can fetch an access token. Install app button in the Dev Dashboard Don't skip this step. Without installing the app, the connection fails with `app_not_installed` and Ryze can't authenticate — even though your Client ID and Secret are correct. ## Step 3 — Copy your credentials In the app, open **Settings**. Copy the **Client ID**, then reveal and copy the **Secret** (this is your Client secret). Copy the Client ID and Secret Back in your Shopify admin, open **Settings → Domains**. Your store domain is the `.myshopify.com` address marked **Primary**. Find your store domain ## Step 4 — Connect in Ryze In **Workspace Settings → Integrations**, click **Connect** on the Shopify card and switch to the **Custom app** tab, then fill in: * **Store domain** — e.g. `yourstore.myshopify.com` * **Client ID** — the Client ID you copied * **Client secret** — the Secret you copied Click **Continue**. Ryze verifies the credentials against your store immediately — if something's wrong, you'll know right away. Tokens refresh automatically using your app's credentials, no maintenance needed. To revoke access later, uninstall the app in your Shopify admin. To rotate the secret, generate a new one under **Credentials** and reconnect in Ryze. Need help?
