How do I obtain my API and API password?

Hi @robertomoran7

This is Richard from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App, I’d like to suggest this idea:

Generating API key with the partner dashboard

  1. Log in to your Partner dashboard.
  2. Select Development stores.
  3. Choose the store you want the app for.
  4. Select apps. It is under Shopify admin.
  5. Move to Manage private apps.
  6. Choose Generate API credentials.
  7. Almost the end. Enter the title.
  8. Save all changes not to lose anything.

Hope you find my answer helpful!
Best regards,
Richard | PageFly

The Manage private apps does not appear on the site.

There is no field called password – only Client ID and Client Secret.

I’m trying to test Shopify with Postman

Seems like some people aren’t even looking to actually solve the problem just pasting other solutions from years ago. I still have yet to figure this out.

Hello Poff,

First step. Get permission from your customer (the person who has the Shopify storefront) to give you the permission to connect to their store. You are going to need pretty much all the boxes checked for different areas of the system.

Get a collaborator code from them.

Then have their admin give you the permissions.

You will need to get into the Admin area

Go to App development through settings

Click on Create an app

You will need Admin API integration

Click on API credentials.

Get your Shopify Admin API Token there. It should begin with xs xh xp xa xt (remove x’s and spaces)

The request header needs this: request.AddHeader(“X-Shopify-Access-Token”,

This also works in PostMan but all you will need is the access token. No login or other authentication.

If none of this works, you may have to hire a technical person to assist.

I engaged the services of a company to help me with this.

They were able to join my session, get all the correct boxes checked and help me get the API keys I needed.

I paid about $100 for that.

That company is mlveda.com and they are listed as a technical resource through the Shopify portal. There may be others.
