Main issue: A user cannot find the “Manage private apps” option referenced in Shopify’s documentation for generating API credentials. The step appears outdated, and the linked instructions no longer match the current Shopify Admin interface.
Recent update: Shopify changed how private apps work, which likely removed or relocated the “Manage private apps” link.
Suggested solution: Access the development section directly at https://yourshop.myshopify.com/admin/apps/development (replace ‘yourshop’ with the store’s domain). From there, proceed to create/manage app development and obtain API credentials.
Notes: A screenshot was mentioned but not essential to the core issue; the key change is the navigation path within Shopify Admin.
Status: No confirmation yet from the original poster that the new URL resolves their problem; discussion remains open.
