How to create an app and connect Store Manager for Shopify to your Shopify store 

To connect Store Manager for Shopify with your store,  follow  few steps:

Step 1: Create an app 

1.1. Go to Dev Dashboard: https://dev.shopify.com/dashboard/

1.2. In the Dev Dashboard, go to the Apps tab and click Create app.

1.3. Specify the app name (e.g., "app_emagicone")  and click Create. 

1.4. Go to the Versions tab. In the Access section, click Select scopes to provide permissions for the app.

1.5. Select the checkboxes for all available scopes, then click Done.

Note: The list contains 100+ scopes. Make sure to scroll down and check all of them — Store Manager requires full access to function correctly.

1.6. Click Release (top right). In the confirmation dialog, you can optionally specify a version name and message, or leave them blank — then click Release again to confirm. 

You're done creating the app. Now it's time to install it and get your credentials. 

1.7. On the app's Home page, find the Distribution section and click Select distribution method. 

1.8. Select your Shopify Partners account (or add one if you don't have it linked yet). 

1.9. Choose Custom distribution and click Select. In the confirmation dialog, click Select custom distribution to confirm. 

1.10. Enter your store's URL in the Store domain field and click Generate link. Confirm by clicking Generate link again in the dialog that appears.

1.11. This link is used to install the app on your store. Click Copy — you'll need it in the next step. 

That's it — your app is ready to connect to your own store. Proceed with the app installation (Step 2.1). 

Step 2: Install the app on your store 

2.1. Open the install link you copied in the previous step in your browser, then select the store where you want to install the app. 

2.2. Click Install.

Note: This app is exclusive to your store and cannot be transferred to another merchant.

That's it — the app is installed! One more step to go. 

Step 3: Configure the connection between Store Manager and your Shopify store using the app. 

3.1. Go back to the Dev Dashboard (https://dev.shopify.com/dashboard/) → Apps → select the app you created. 

3.2. Go to Settings, then copy the Client ID and Client Secret. These need to be added to Store Manager on the Connection tab. 

3.3. Open Store Manager for Shopify application.
On first launch, you'll see the "Connect to Shopify" window — enter your credentials there (Shop name, Client ID, Client Secret). 

3.4. Click Test Connection — you should see a confirmation popup in the bottom-right corner of the application. 

3.5. Click Connect & Apply to start working with your store. You should see your products load in the application. 

Step 4: Authenticating with Shopify OAuth 2.0 

In some cases, you'll also need to complete a Shopify OAuth2 login through your browser. 

4.1. Open the Dev Dashboard: https://dev.shopify.com/dashboard/ 

4.2. Select your app. 

4.3. Go to Versions tab, then click Create version. 

4.4. In the Redirect URLs field, enter http://localhost:8080/auth, then click Release to publish the new version. 

4.5. In Store Manager, go to the Settings → Store connection, then enable Use OAuth2 authentication.

4.6. Click Test Connection.

4.7. In the information popup that appears, click OK to proceed. Your default browser will open for authorization — make sure you're logged into the same Shopify store, then complete the login if prompted.

4.8. After successful login, your browser will show an "Authorization successful!" message — you can close this window/tab. 

4.10. Click Save & Connect to finish setting up the connection. 

4.11. After clicking Save & Connect, you'll be taken to the main application window. Your store's products should now load in the grid, along with their full details (title, status, vendor, variants, pricing, etc.).

That's it — your store is now connected via OAuth2.
