# How to connect to Shopify (Public App)

Connecting to Shopify via the Public App connector is simple: you only need to provide your shop name and authorize the connection.

1. [Vault Connection Setup](#1-vault-connection-setup)
2. [Authorize the Connection](#2-authorize-the-connection)

## 1. Vault Connection Setup

In Vault, fill out the following field:

- **Shop**: Your shop name, the first part of your Shopify domain (e.g., `mystore` from `mystore.myshopify.com`)

Click **Save** to continue.

## 2. Authorize the Connection

After saving your shop name, click **Authorize**. You will be redirected to Shopify where you can review and approve the requested permissions. Approve with an account that can install apps on the store, typically the store owner.

Once you approve, you will be redirected back and your Shopify account is now connected.

No additional setup is required: your application provider has already configured the Shopify app credentials.

## Notes

- If your application provider set up their Shopify app for a single store (custom distribution), it can only be installed on the store, or the stores of the one Plus organisation, it was created for. If the authorization fails for your store, contact your application provider.
- Your connection stays active without any further action: Apideck refreshes the Shopify access token automatically. If your application provider asks you to reconnect, repeat step 2.
