Connect Shopify to SyncMetrics

5-minute setup, fully read-only, can be revoked anytime.

What this lets us do: pull your orders, revenue, customers, and products into Claude AI and Data Studio. Show Shopify's own checkout funnel and customer metrics. Compare your ad spend with Shopify sales.

What we can't do: change anything in your store — not orders, not products, not prices. Access is fully read-only and audit-logged by Shopify.

1 Open your Shopify admin

Go to https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin

2 Enable Custom App development

  1. Click Settings (gear, bottom-left)
  2. Click Apps and sales channels
  3. Click Develop apps
  4. If you see "Allow custom app development" → click it → confirm
If Develop apps is missing, your account isn't the store owner. Ask the owner to follow this guide or invite SyncMetrics as a collaborator.

3 Create the SyncMetrics app

  1. Click Create an app
  2. Name: SyncMetrics
  3. Click Create app

4 Pick the read scopes

On the new app's page click Configuration → under Admin API integration click Configure. Check only these (all start with read_):

✓ read_analytics
✓ read_orders
✓ read_all_orders
✓ read_products
✓ read_customers
✓ read_inventory
✓ read_locations
✓ read_reports
✓ read_marketing_events
✓ read_fulfillments
✓ read_returns
✓ read_discounts
✓ read_price_rules

Do not check any write_* boxes. Scroll down and click Save.

5 Install the app

  1. At the top of the app page, click Install app
  2. Confirm with Install

6 Reveal the access token

  1. You'll land on the API credentials tab
  2. Find Admin API access token
  3. Click "Reveal token once"
  4. ⚠️ Copy the token immediately — Shopify only shows it once
  5. It starts with shpat_…
If you accidentally close the screen before copying: click Uninstall → re-Install → reveal again.

7 Connect in SyncMetrics

  1. Open syncmetrics.io/dashboard
  2. On the Connections tab, find the Shopify card
  3. Click + Connect Shopify
  4. Paste your shop domain (e.g. your-store.myshopify.com) and the shpat_… token
  5. Click Connect store

You should see ✅ Connected to {your store name}.

Go to dashboard →

8 Try it out

In Claude (with SyncMetrics MCP), ask:

Show me my Shopify revenue for the last 30 days

In Data Studio:

Create → Data source → search "SyncMetrics - Shopify"

How to disconnect later
