Connect Shopify using a custom app

There are two ways developers can integrate with Shopify: as an app in the Shopify app marketplace or via a custom app. Currently, Middle does not meet Shopify's requirements to facilitate a connection in the app marketplace. Because of this, unless you have an approved Shopify partner app, you'll need to use custom apps to connect to Shopify via Middle.

Connecting with a custom app

Custom apps live at the Shopify store level and are created and configured by a Shopify store admin. You will need to create a custom app for each of the stores you need to connect.

The below instructions explain how a Shopify admin can create a custom app:

You can search for the scope you’d like to allow for your custom app
Custom app credentials in Shopify

Enter these credentials as an API key in the Shopify app in your Middle instance. The format should resemble the following:

{
"client_id":  "XXXXXXXX",
"client_secret": "XXXXXXXX",
"personal_store_token": "XXXXXXXX"
}

Repeat the above steps for any other stores.
