How to Connect Your Shopify Store to CXWizard

Connecting Shopify gives your AI agent access to tools to get information about your products, orders, fulfillments, inventory and store policies in order to assist customers. You will create a legacy custom app in the Shopify admin, grant only the API scopes CXWizard needs, install the app to get an Admin API access token, then paste that token and your store domain into CXWizard.

You need staff permissions that allow managing apps and API credentials in your Shopify admin.

1. Open Apps and Develop apps

In Shopify admin, go to SettingsAppsDevelop apps.

2. Allow legacy custom app development

On the Develop apps screen, click Allow legacy custom app development.

Security tip: Treat the Admin API access token like a password. Do not share it in chat or email, and revoke or rotate it in Shopify if it is ever exposed.
