Introduction
Hi everyone, my name is Megan, and I am a product marketing manager at Anchorstore. In today's tutorial, I'm going to show you how you can enable an integration on Anchorstore to synchronize your orders with Shopify. This integration will streamline your order management and provide you with a centralized platform for tracking and managing your sales.
Finding the Integration in Anchorstore
To begin, let's first locate the integration feature in Anchorstore. When you log into your Anchorstore account, scroll down to the bottom of the menu bar in your back office. You will find an Integrations tab. Click on it to access the Integrations page, where we will connect to Shopify.
Benefits of Connecting Anchorstore Orders to Shopify
Before we proceed with the integration setup, let's discuss why you would want to connect your Anchorstore orders with Shopify. By syncing your orders between the two platforms, you can streamline your order management process. Instead of switching between platforms to track orders and manage documentation, you can have all the information in one place. This integration is especially beneficial for those who value efficiency and want to simplify their order management tasks.
Setting Up the Integration
Now that we understand the advantages of integrating Anchorstore with Shopify, let's get started with the setup process.
Step 1: Proceed to Integration
Sign in to your Anchorstore account and navigate to the Integrations page. On the left-hand side of the screen, scroll down to the bottom and click on Integrations.
Step 2: Adding Store Name and URL
On the Integrations page, select Shopify as the integration option. It will redirect you to a new page where you need to input your store name and store URL. Enter the required information and click on "Connect to Shopify."
Step 3: Connecting to Shopify
A window will pop up with instructions for installing the Shopify application. Click on the provided link in Step 1 to open a new window. Ensure you are logged into your Shopify shop. If not, log in to continue the installation process.
Step 4: Configuring Admin API Scope
In the new window, we need to create an app. Click on "Create App" and enter the app name, such as "Anchorstore-Create App." Next, configure the permissions that allow Anchorstore to send information to Shopify. Scroll down and enable the necessary permissions shown in Step 4. It is crucial to pay attention and enable the correct permissions to ensure the synchronization of order information between Anchorstore and Shopify.
Step 5: Saving Permissions
After enabling the required permissions, proceed to Step 5, which involves saving the permissions you have enabled. Click on "Save" to confirm the changes.
Step 6: Installing the App
Now, we can continue with the installation process. Scroll down the instructions window and locate the "Install App" button. Click on it to install the app on Shopify.
Step 7: Retrieving Token ID
To complete the installation, we need to retrieve the token ID. Click on "Install App" to move to the next step. The token will be displayed. Copy it to your clipboard.
Step 8: Adding Token and Secret Key
Switch back to the window with the setup instructions. Locate the "API token access token" field and paste the copied token there. Additionally, find the API secret key below and add it. Click on "Finish" to proceed.
Step 9: Finalizing Installation
