# Link your Shopify store

> Connect your store to Apptics with a Shopify custom app — about 5 minutes

Apptics connects to your store through a Shopify custom app that you create
once. You'll need admin access to your Shopify store. The whole setup takes
about 5 minutes, and the
[interactive setup guide](https://app.apptics.com/shopify-manual-store-guide.html)
mirrors Shopify's form field-by-field with copy buttons for every value.

## Create the app in Shopify

1. In the Shopify dev dashboard, create a new app (name it `Apptics-crm`)
   and start a new version.
2. Set the **App URL** to `https://app.apptics.com` and leave "Embed app in
   Shopify admin" checked.
3. Under **API access**, paste the scopes:

   ```
   read_products, write_products, read_customers, write_customers,
   read_orders, write_orders, read_own_subscription_contracts,
   write_own_subscription_contracts, read_script_tags, write_script_tags,
   write_app_proxy
   ```

   and add the redirect URL
   `https://api.apptics.com/api/auth/shopify/callback`.
4. Under **App proxy**, set subpath prefix `apps`, subpath `apptics`, and
   proxy URL `https://api.apptics.com/apps/apptics`.
5. **Release** the version, then **install the app** on your store.

## Connect it to Apptics

Copy the app's **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from its settings. In
Apptics, open **Connect store** and paste both, along with your store's
canonical `your-store.myshopify.com` domain.

<Note>
  Wherever a store URL is asked for, always use the canonical
  `your-store.myshopify.com` domain — not a custom storefront domain.
</Note>

## What happens next

Once connected, your products, customers, and orders sync automatically —
your catalog imports in the background and appears in the dashboard. From
there, follow the [go-live checklist](/getting-started/go-live-checklist).
