The app must be installed by a store admin in shopify

  1. In your shopify store, logged in as a store admin (3PL customers need to communicate to their customers here for the setup), navigate to Settings -> Apps

    1. In the top right corner - choose "Develop apps"

2. In the upcoming menu - navigate to "Build apps in Dev Dashboard":

3. In a new tab, your shopify dev dashboard will open, in here, click the "Create app" button top right:

4. Give the app a name - E.g. "PULPO WMS API Connection"

5. You now need to define the access scopes that this app has to your shopify data. You need to check all scopes there which PULPO WMS needs to handle your shopify data:

Here is a list of the minimum required scopes (read+write - ADMIN API) which PULPO requires to work with shopify. The list might grow with new features and not all scopes might be listed here as both sides are continiously adding features:

  • Companies

  • Custom fulfillment services

  • Customer

  • Draft orders

  • Fulfillment services

  • Inventory

  • Inventory shipments

  • Inventory shipments received items

  • Inventory transfers

  • Locales GraphQL Admin API

  • Locations

  • Merchant managed fulfillment

  • Order editing

  • Orders

  • Product information

  • Products

  • Returns

  • Shipping rates

  • Third party fulfillment

Having done so, the list of access scopes updates and shows all selected scopes:

6. No other changes are required here, you can now click the "Release" button in the top right corner:


​There will be a dialog opening asking you for a version name, you can put a 1.0 there for example. Versioning can be done however you like:

After you released the app, two more steps need to be done:

  1. Note down or copy the Client ID and the secret, which you can find in the settings area of the created app:

You will need this data later to put it into the PULPO WMS App to connect your store.

2. Install the newly created shopify app to your shopify store. You can do so by navigating to the home screen of the app and select the install app option top right:

After clicking it, you will be asked which store you want to install the app to and you need to login. Once the app is installed you are good to go and can go over to the PULPO WMS App to set up the actual connection between shopify and PULPO WMS there.
