Connect your Shopify store

Install via OAuth or paste a private-app token. Datora verifies scopes automatically.

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)

  1. In Datora, open Settings → Shopify.
  2. Click Connect with OAuth.
  3. Approve the requested scopes in your Shopify admin.
  4. You're redirected back to Datora; the connection status flips to Connected.

Option B – Private app token

  1. In Shopify admin, create a custom app and grant the scopes listed in Settings → Shopify → Required scopes.
  2. Copy the Admin API access token.
  3. Paste it into Datora and click Verify.

Required scopes

  • read_products, write_products
  • read_translations, write_translations
  • read_locales
  • read_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.
