Prerequisites Permalink for this section

In order to integrate with Shopify, you'll need to collect the following information:

Name Description
Domain* Your Shopify API Domain. The URL for accessing your store API is built with the following format: store_name.myshopify.com
Access token* Your Access Token. Follow Shopify's docs to setup a custom app and get your access token (opens in a new tab).

In case you have changed the domain and can't find the store name easily, when logging to your admin page, the store name can be seen on the url like so https://admin.shopify.com/store/{store_name} (opens in a new tab)

Your Shopify access token will need the following permissions: read_customers, read_orders, read_content, read_inventory, read_online_store_pages, write_online_store_pages, write_customer_data_erasure, read_customer_data_erasure.

Fides utilizes API endpoints to access the API service for a SaaS application. An API service is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.
