Two ways to connect
You can connect Shopify either through Datora's official OAuth flow (recommended for most merchants) or by pasting a private-app access token.
Option A – OAuth (recommended)
- In Datora, open Settings → Shopify.
- Click Connect with OAuth.
- Approve the requested scopes in your Shopify admin.
- You're redirected back to Datora; the connection status flips to Connected.
Option B – Private app token
- In Shopify admin, create a custom app and grant the scopes listed in Settings → Shopify → Required scopes.
- Copy the Admin API access token.
- Paste it into Datora and click Verify.
Required scopes
read_products,write_productsread_translations,write_translationsread_localesread_themes(only if you want theme-key translations)
Verification
Datora pings the Admin API with each scope and shows a green check per scope. If a scope is missing, the connection stays in Pending and writes are blocked until you re-authorize.
