But in order to integrate with your Shopify store, you need to create a private app, so that NicoChat can connect with your Shopify app.

It is a simple process and takes about 5 minutes. Here is the detailed step-by-step.

You can also watch our video tutorial to set up this private app.

Create a custom app

After you log in to your Shopify store, go to “Apps and sales channels”; there you can create an app.

After you click the “create an app” button, you will see the screen below. Give it a name and the new app will be created.

Click “Configure Admin API scopes”,

and then you need to give permission to use the scopes below:

  • Write_customers
  • Read_customers
  • Write_discounts
  • Read_discounts
  • Read_files
  • Read_fulfillments
  • Write_orders
  • Read_orders
  • Write_product_listings
  • Read_product_listings
  • Write_products
  • Read_products
  • Write_script_tags
  • Read_script_tags

After you select all the scopes, save them.

That is it. Your private app is created. Now it is time to install it.
