Shopify connection reference
Find Shopify app credentials, configure Partner distribution, and review alternate connection settings.
Use the Shopify Quickstart for the complete sandbox flow. This reference covers app credentials, Partner distribution, and alternate configuration.
App access and credentials
Follow Create app for the required scopes and installation. Your app must be installed on the store before you connect it to Bolt. In the app's Settings, the Client ID and Client Secret identify this connection; keep the secret out of your theme.
Optional steps for Shopify Partners
If you are a Shopify Partner, limit the app's distribution to your store. Without this, the access scopes may not take effect.
- On the app's Home tab, select Select distribution method.
- Select Custom distribution, then Select.
- Enter your store domain, such as
mystore.com, and select Generate link.
Connection settings
Connect store identifies the test store and app credentials to enter. A catalog count alone is not sufficient: compare a known product and variant with your source store.
Other payment processors
The quickstart uses Bolt Payments sandbox. For another processor, confirm compatibility with Bolt and use the processor-specific configuration. Do not substitute credentials across environments.
Checkout settings
Use Configure checkout for the sandbox flow. Further checkout settings belong to the connected store and division.
After connecting
Return to Create link and Verify order. To install Managed Checkout in the storefront theme after verifying the link flow, use theme installation.
