The Shopify API is a powerful tool that would let you access particular data. To get the API Credentials, you have to create a Private App in the admin page of the Shopify store. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Generating Private API Credentials
- Login to your Shopify admin panel.
- Click on Apps, then click on Manage private apps at bottom of page.
- If the private apps development setting is not enabled, please click Enable private apps, then check the terms, and then click Enable private app development.
- Click Create a new private app.
- At App details section, enter Private app name and use our support email for Emergency developer email: support@next-cart.com. You can fill in any name you want.
- At Admin API section, click on Show inactive Admin API permissions to expand full list of permissions, then specify the API resources and permissions to which your app/migration requires access. If you want to use this Private app for Next-Cart migration program, set all access levels of the following permissions to Read access (if Shopify is your Source store) or Read and write (if Shopify is your Target store): Products, Customers, Discounts, Inventory, Locations, Orders, Price rules, Shop locale, Store content, Themes, Translations.
Shopify API Permissions
- At Storefront API section, please make sure the option Allow this app to access your storefront data using the Storefront API is not checked.

- Now you can get API Key and Password in the Admin API section.
*Note:
- For using the migration program, you will need to enter these API credentials: Store URL, API Key and API Password. Store URL is the domain of the admin URL of your Shopify store, it has the following format: https://xxxxxx.myshopify.com.
- If you are going to migrate orders to Shopify, it’s highly recommended to turn off all email notifications in Settings > Notifications.
