Shopify

In one line: Connect Shopify so UnleashX can find products, build a ready-to-checkout cart for a shopper, and add customers to your newsletter — straight from a conversation.

​
1. Overview

Shopify is a commerce platform that powers online stores — products, variants, carts, checkout and customers all live there. Once connected to UnleashX, your agent can act as a shopping assistant: search your catalog by name or tag, add a chosen variant to a cart and hand back a checkout link, and sign a customer up for your newsletter. Connecting Shopify to UnleashX turns conversations into sales motions — shoppers get product answers and a ready checkout link without leaving the chat, and interested customers get added to your marketing list.

​
2. What you’ll need

  • A Shopify store and your shop domain (e.g. your-store.myshopify.com).
  • Permission to create a custom app — requires the store owner or a staff account with app-development access.
  • An Admin API access token, and a Storefront API access token for the cart tool.
No admin access? Ask your store owner to create a custom app and share the shop domain plus the Admin and Storefront access tokens with you.

​
3. Get your credentials

UnleashX authenticates to Shopify with an Admin API access token (plus a Storefront API access token for cart creation) and your shop domain.
1

Open app development

Go to Shopify admin → Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps: https://admin.shopify.com/store/<your-store>/settings/apps/development
2

Create an app

Click Create an app, name it “UnleashX”, and select a developer.
3

Configure Admin API scopes

Under Configuration → Admin API integration, enable the scopes from the table below.
4

Configure Storefront API

Enable Storefront API access and the unauthenticated scopes needed to read products and create carts.
5

Install and copy tokens

Click Install app, then under API credentials reveal and copy the Admin API access token and the Storefront API access token.
The Admin API access token is shown only once at install. Copy it now and store it safely.
You’ll provide three things when connecting: the shop domain, the Admin API access token, and the Storefront API access token.

​

  • Search your product catalog and read variant details.
  • Create a cart and return a checkout URL.
  • Create/subscribe a customer to your newsletter.
UnleashX cannot:
  • Edit or delete products, inventory or orders.
  • Process payments or complete checkout on the shopper’s behalf.
  • Access store settings, finances or other staff accounts.

​
8. Troubleshooting

For general connector issues, see /mcp/integrations.

​
9. Frequently asked questions

Is my store data stored by UnleashX? No. Tools call the Shopify Admin and Storefront APIs live and return the result. UnleashX doesn’t keep a copy of your catalog or customers. Can the agent take payments? No. It can build a cart and return a checkout URL, but the shopper completes payment on Shopify’s secure checkout. Why do I need two tokens? Product search and newsletter sign-up use the Admin API, while cart creation uses the Storefront API. Each has its own token.
