How to create Shopify private app

NB! This publication may be outdated. Please double-check relevant sources before following the instructions.

Basically, Shopify private apps live here: https://myshopify.com/admin/apps/private

To create an app, you’d go to https://myshopify.com/admin/apps/private/new, get it a name (use something descriptive like Automatic Customer Tag by 99rabbits), supply it with our email stas@99rabbits.com and hit ‘Save app’.

Then you’ll be presented with apps’ API credentials. You need to copy all of them and hand over to us.

Should look like this:

API Key
XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Password
XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shared Secret
XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

URL Format
https://apikey:password@hostname/admin/resource.json

Example URL
XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

NB! You’ll be able to disable the app and completely turn off our API access whenever you like.
