Application Configuration in Shopify Portal for OAuth2 Account to use in Shopify

In this article

Snaps in the Shopify Snap Pack use the Shopify OAuth2 account to access the Shopify application. For the OAuth2 account to function without any issue, ensure to create and configure an application corresponding to the account as explained in the steps below. These steps also contain the information required to create/define a new OAuth2 account for using this Snap Pack.

A public app should interact with Shopify APIs on behalf of multiple stores. To authenticate with Shopify by using a public app, you need to generate the credentials from your Partner Dashboard and then use them to implement OAuth. Shopify uses OAuth 2.0’s authorization code grant flow to issue access tokens on behalf of users.
