Shopify Connection Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Shopify store(s) for Pattern PXM. Your Pattern PXM CSM will guide you through connecting and authorizing each store.

Step 1: Open the Shopify Dev Dashboard

Log in to your Shopify admin using an account that has admin access to the store(s) you're connecting. Then go to Settings → Apps → Develop apps and click Build apps in Dev Dashboard.

Step 2: Create a New App

  1. In the Dev Dashboard, navigate to Apps.

  2. Click Create app.

  3. Give the app a name — we recommend something like Pattern Integration so it's easy to identify later.

  4. Click Create.

Step 3: Configure the App

App URL

Paste the following URL into the App URL field:

https://shopify.dev/apps/default-app-home

API Scopes

  1. Navigate to the Configuration tab of your new app.

  2. Under Admin API integration, click to expand the scopes.

  3. Select the following Admin API access scopes, or the scopes your Pattern PXM CSM confirms:

    • Products: read_products and write_products

    • Inventory: read_inventory and write_inventory

    • Files and media: read_files and write_files

    • Metaobjects: read_metaobjects and write_metaobjects

    • Locations: read_locations and write_locations

  4. Save your changes.

Step 4: Release the App

  1. Go to the Distribution or Release tab.

  2. Enter a version name (e.g., 1.0.0).

  3. Click Release.

Step 5: Install the App on Your Store

  1. From your app's dashboard, click the app name (Pattern Integration) in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Install app (you may need to click the icon next to the app name to find this option).

  3. You'll be redirected to your Shopify store — select the store you want to connect and confirm the installation.

Note: If you receive a permissions error during installation, your account may need elevated access. Contact your Shopify store owner or developer to grant the necessary permissions before proceeding.

Step 6: Locate Your App Settings

After the app is installed, go back to the app's page in the Dev Dashboard and click Settings (or API credentials). Keep this page handy for when your Pattern PXM CSM guides you through the connection, and keep your app details private.

Step 7: Find Your Store URL(s)

Your store URL is the .myshopify.com domain for each store (e.g., your-store.myshopify.com). You can find this in your Shopify Admin under Settings → Domains.

Step 8: Connect with Your Pattern PXM CSM

Your Pattern PXM CSM will guide you through connecting and authorizing your Shopify store with Pattern PXM.

Note: If you have multiple stores (e.g., US, Australia, New Zealand), repeat Steps 5–8 for each store. You may be able to use the same app for all stores — your Pattern PXM CSM will confirm.

Your CSM completes the connection, and it then appears in Pattern PXM.
