Besides other platform integrations, Shopify is another built-in platform integration available in Zoho Thrive. You can easily integrate your Shopify store with Thrive by following the steps below.
Create a custom app:
1. On your Shopify home screen, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels.
2. Click Develop apps.
If you’re developing a custom app for the first time, you need to click allow custom app development and then agree to the confirmation by clicking on a similar button again on the next page.
3. Then, click Create an app.
4. In the pop-up, provide the App name (We suggest Zoho Thrive to avoid any confusion) and choose an App developer.
Only the store owner, or any staff or collaborator account with the Develop apps permission can be chosen for the role. 5. Complete the process, by clicking Create App.
Here, you’ll be picking the level of access and permission that Zoho Thrive can have, when interacting with the Shopify platform through the API’s.
1. Under Overview, click Configure Admin API scopes.
2. From the list of available access scopes displayed, select the one’s listed below.
In order to maintain transparency, alongside each scope we’ve also explained the reason why we need it.
