## Steps to Create Shopify Access Token API Credentials

### 1. Create Private App

1. Log in to your [Shopify Admin](https://www.shopify.com/admin)
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Apps**
3. Click **Develop apps**
4. Click **Create a legacy custom app**
5. Enter app name (e.g., "SubverseAI Token Access")
6. Select the app developer
7. Click **Create app**

### 2. Configure Admin API Integration

1. Go to the **Configuration** tab
2. In Admin API integration, Click **Configure**
3. Select the required Admin API access scopes:
   * `read_products`, `write_products` for product management
   * `read_orders`, `write_orders` for order processing
   * Additional scopes as needed
4. Click **Save**

### 3. Install App and Generate Token

1. Click **Install app**
2. Confirm the installation
3. Go to the **API credentials** tab
4. Copy the **Admin API access token** \[Will be generated after app installation and visible only once]
5. Note the **API key** and **API secret key**

### 4. Add to SubverseAI

1. Go to **Credentials** in your SubverseAI dashboard
2. Click **Create New Credential**
3. Select **Shopify Access Token API** from the credential types
4. Enter a name for your credential
5. Fill in the required fields:

   * **Access Token**: Your Admin API access token
   * **API Key**: Your app API key
6. Click **Save Credential**

## Required Fields

* **Name**: A descriptive name for your credential
* **Store URL**: Your Shopify store sub domain (e.g., `your-store` from `your-store.myshopify.com`)
* **Access Token**: Your Admin API access token
* **API Key**: Your app API key

## Usage Tips

* Use access tokens for high-frequency operations
* Store tokens securely and rotate regularly
* Monitor API usage to avoid rate limits
* Use separate tokens for different environments

## Troubleshooting

**Invalid Access Token**: Regenerate the token from the app settings

**Store Not Found**: Verify the store URL is correct

**Permission Denied**: Check that the app has required Admin API scopes

**Rate Limit Exceeded**: Monitor API usage and implement rate limiting

## Next Steps

After creating your Shopify Access Token credentials:

* Set up direct API integration workflows
* Configure high-frequency operations
* Build real-time data synchronization
* Monitor API usage and performance
* Implement token rotation procedures
