Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

You must satisfy the following prerequisites to create a connection with the Shopify GraphQL Adapter:

Create a Custom Application

To create a custom application in Shopify, you use the Shopify administration console. Follow the instructions mentioned under these topics:
  • Create the app
  • Select API scopes
  • Install the app and get the API access tokens

See Create and install a custom app.

Obtain the Admin API Access Token and API Secret Key

You must obtain the values for your Admin API access token and API secret key.

See Get the API credentials for a custom app.

Obtain the Shopify API Credentials and Shared Secret

When you save your private application, Shopify automatically generates an API key, a password, and a shared secret.

To get the values for your API credentials and shared secret:
  1. Open the private application that you created and saved.
  2. Scroll to the Admin API section.
  3. Copy the values for your API key, password, and shared secret. You'll need to enter those values on the Connections page when you configure security for your Shopify GraphQL Adapter connection in Oracle Integration. See Configure Connection Security.

Create a Custom Application Using the Shopify Dev Dashboard

Create a custom application using the Shopify Dev Dashboard.

  • Follow the instructions mentioned in these topics:
    • Create an application
    • Create a version
    • Install your application

    See Create apps using the Dev Dashboard.

  • Obtain the client ID and client secret.

    Authenticate your application to obtain the client ID and client secret. You need these values when you configure security for your Shopify GraphQL Adapter connection.

    See Authenticate your app.
