Click on Save to apply the selected permissions. The Install App button will appear for you to be able to install the app.

After installing the app, you will be redirected to the API Credentials tab. Here you can access the keys that you have to insert in your Sales Layer Shopify connector:

Once the app is activated, you can insert all the generated data in Sales Layer:
Insert:
- the Shopify API Key in the connector API Key field.
- the Shopify Token API in the connectorToken API field.
- the Shop name field will need to contain the URL of the store as shown in the example.
Fill in the Secret Key field with the Access Token. This action will only be done in Shopify Admin and the key will remain hidden.
