Built so anyone who owns a Shopify store can wire it to Claude in five minutes and start asking real questions about their orders, revenue and products. No coding.
Create the app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, add read-only permissions, install it on your store, and copy your two keys.
The five most useful Admin API scopes to start with, plus how to find the exact one your question needs.
Two paste-ready prompts: one makes a safe keys file, the other connects and pulls your live data.
Finding your myshopify domain, the 24-hour token explained, and keeping your secret safe.
No. Claude writes and runs everything. You click through Shopify's dashboard, copy two keys into a file, and paste two prompts. If you can copy and paste, you can do this.
Yes, when you do it the way the guide shows. Your keys go in a local file on your own machine, never in the chat. The guide sticks to read-only permissions, so Claude can look but not change anything. And you can rotate the keys in one click if you ever need to.
That is Shopify's design, and it is a good thing. Your Client ID and Secret are permanent, and Claude swaps them for a fresh 24-hour token automatically whenever it needs one. You never have to renew anything.
Only if you give it write permissions on purpose. This guide uses read-only scopes, so it is safe to ask anything. Adding write access is a deliberate, separate step.
Yes. Any store where you can reach Settings and the Dev Dashboard can create a custom app and use the Admin API.
