Shopify Integration: Connect Your Store to Flowcart in Minutes

Integrating Shopify with Flowcart turns your WhatsApp storefront into a powerful, automated sales engine. 

Once connected, your products, inventory, and orders stay perfectly in sync, no copying, no manual updates, no headaches.

Whether you're scaling fast or just getting started, this integration keeps everything running smoothly in the background so you can focus on selling, not managing systems.

Below is your step-by-step guide to getting connected.

Step 1: Create a Custom App in Shopify

1. Log in to your Shopify Admin: https://admin.shopify.com
   
2. In the left menu, go to:

Apps and Sales Channels → Develop Apps → Create App

3. Name your app:

Flowcart Integration (or anything you prefer)

4. Click Create App

Your new app is now ready to be configured.

Step 2: Enable the Required API Permissions

To allow Flowcart to sync your products, inventory, customers, and orders, you’ll need to grant the right admin API scopes.

1. Go to Configure Admin API Scopes
   
2. Add the following permissions:

write_products, read_products,
write_assigned_fulfillment_orders, read_assigned_fulfillment_orders,
write_draft_orders, read_draft_orders,
write_order_edits, read_order_edits,
write_orders, read_orders,
read_inventory,
write_customers, read_customers,
read_product_feeds,
write_fulfillments, read_fulfillments,
write_third_party_fulfillment_orders, read_third_party_fulfillment_orders,
write_payment_terms

3. Click Save
   

Step 3: Install the App

1. Click Install App
   
2. Shopify will display a confirmation popup; click Install
   

Once installed, Shopify will generate the three credentials you need:

• API Key
  
• API Secret Key
  
• Admin API Access Token (shown only once — store it safely!)
  

These three values are required to connect Shopify to Flowcart.

Step 4: Connect Shopify to Flowcart

1. Go to your Flowcart dashboard
   
2. Navigate to:
   Settings → Integrations → Shopify
   
3. Enter your:
   
   • API Key
     
   • API Secret Key
     
   • Admin API Access Token
     
4. Click Save

Flowcart will begin syncing your Shopify products, prices, and inventory.

This usually takes 3–10 minutes.

Once syncing is complete, Flowcart automatically creates your Shopify catalog.

Step 5: Assign Your Shopify Catalog to a Route

1. Go to Dashboard → Manage Route → Edit Route
   
2. Select your newly created Shopify Catalog
   
3. Save your changes
   

Your Shopify integration is now live. 🎉

All new orders placed through Flowcart will sync back into your Shopify dashboard automatically.

Alternative Setup: Give Flowcart Collaborator Access

Prefer not to create the app yourself?

You can grant Flowcart’s team secure collaborator access instead.

How to provide collaborator access

1. Go to Settings → Users and Permissions → Collaborators
   
2. Share your Collaborator Request Code with the Flowcart team
   
3. They will request access to:
   
   • View products
     
   • View discounts
     
   • View orders
     
   • Create an app on Shopify
     
4. Approve the request via email
   
5. Flowcart will handle the full integration for you
   

Easy, safe, and hands-off.
