STATUS

Securely connecting your store.

Generate your Admin API key
  • Log in to your Shopify Admin panel.
  • Navigate to Settings > Apps.
  • Click "Develop apps" > "Create an app" (Name it: SEA).
  • Select "Configure Admin API scopes".
  • Check the boxes according to the modules I purchased:
    • Inventory: read_products, read_inventory
    • Orders: read_orders, read_customers
    • Shipping: read_orders, read_locations
    • Customers: read_customers
    (Note: Full access to customer names and emails is available for Shopify "Grow" plans and higher. Basic plans have native restrictions for customer data).
  • Click Save, then go to the "API credentials" tab.
  • Click "Install app" and reveal your Admin API access token.
  • Store this token securely. I will never ask for it; you will only enter it once in the app to activate your engine.
