Shopify GraphQL connection

The Shopify GraphQL connection enables you to link your Shopify store with Data Integration to access data such as products, orders, customers, and inventory.

Prerequisites

• An active Shopify store.
• Token-based access provided by Shopify through custom apps. To get started, you need an admin account and must enable custom app development. For more information, refer to custom apps.

Token authentication

This method is relevant for stores that you access using custom apps.

1. Assign the necessary scopes to the app so that Data Integration can access and pull the required data. Refer to Shopify’s documentation on Admin API access tokens and scopes.
2. Add the read_locations scope specifically to enable the Test Connection feature.

Authentication Types

The Shopify GraphQL connection supports two authentication types:

• Token: Uses a manually generated access token from a Shopify custom app.
• OAuth2: Authorizes the connection directly through your Shopify account via a secure token exchange.
