Shopify Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect your Shopify store to Describelio. You will create a custom app with Admin API access to allow Describelio to read and update your product descriptions.

  1. Prerequisites

    You need a Shopify store (any plan) with admin access to the Settings area.

  2. Create Custom App

    Go to Settings > Apps and sales channels > Develop apps > Create an app. Name it “Describelio”.

  3. Configure API Scopes

    Under Admin API, click Configure and select the scopes write_products and read_products.

  4. Install App

    Click Install and confirm the permissions dialog.

  5. Copy Access Token

    After installation, go to the API credentials tab and copy the Admin API access token. This token is shown only once.

  6. Find Store Subdomain

    Your store subdomain is the part before .myshopify.com. For example:

    your-store.myshopify.com
  7. Connect in Describelio

    Go to Shops > Add Shop, select Shopify, and paste your access token and store subdomain.

Note: Describelio uses the GraphQL Admin API (version 2026-01). All API communication is handled automatically — you only need to provide the access token.
