It's important to continue optimizing your product feed for the success of your ecommerce store. To help you with this, a step-by-step plan has been drawn up to link your CMS to Uptmz. This is the first step to start generating and optimizing your product feed. To connect Uptmz with Shopify you need certain information. Below we explain step by step how you can do this by obtaining the Access Token, Shop Name, Consumer Key and Secret Key.
Step 1: Log in to your Shopify account
Sign in to your Shopify account with your login details.
Step 2: Navigate to 'Settings' in the Shopify menu
After logging in, you will find yourself in the Shopify dashboard.
Click on 'Settings' in the left menu.
Step 3: Go to 'App and sales channels'
When you're on the settings page, look for the 'App and sales channels' section. Click on this section to continue.
Step 4: Access 'Develop Apps'
Under 'App and sales channels', you will find the 'Develop apps' option.
Click on it to continue creating a new app.
Step 5: Create a new app
Under 'Develop apps', click 'Create an App'.
Step 6: Name the new app “Uptmz”
You will now be asked to enter a name for your new app.
For example, enter "Uptmz" as the name for the app. You will now arrive in an overview screen of the one you just created.
Step 7: Then click on 'Configure Admin API Scopes
After creating the app, click on the 'Configure Admin API Scopes' option.
Then scroll down and check "read_products" under Products.
Then do the same for "read_inventory". Save the change by clicking the 'Save' button at the top right.
Step 8: Then choose 'Install App' and copy the data
Click on 'Install app' at the top right.
Then copy the access token, API key (Consumer Key) and Secret API key.
Please note! You can only view your access token once, so make sure you keep it safe.
Step 9: Enter Shop Name
The last thing you need to complete the connection is the Shop Name. The shop name can be found in two ways:
1. If your own domain name is not yet linked to the webshop, you will find the shop name (bold) in the temporary URL, for example:
https://uptmz-webshop.myshopify.com
2. If the domain name is linked to the webshop and you log in to Shopify's management environment, you will see a URL that looks like this in the bar of your browser:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/uptmz-webshop (this is an example)
The shop name appears after the last part of the URL, after store/.
Step 10: Uptmz integration
Log in to your Uptmz account. Within Uptmz you go to the configuration page for the Shopify connection.
Step 11: Add the Consumer Key, Secret Key and access token
Add the Access Token, Shop Name, Consumer Key, Secret Key and access token in the appropriate fields (see image). Within Uptmz you go to the configuration page for the Shopify connection.
Step 12: Connect Shopify to Uptmz
Once you have entered this information, click 'Save' to connect Shopify to Uptmz. A message appears in the lower right corner of the screen if the pairing was successful.
