Step 1: Log into Your Shopify Admin

• Go to your Shopify Admin dashboard.

• Navigate to the Apps section in the left-hand sidebar.

• Select Apps and sales channel settings

Step 2: Enable Custom App Development (if not enabled)

• Select Develop apps for your store.

• If custom app development is not enabled, you’ll need to enable it:

  • Click Allow custom app development.

  • Read and accept the warning about enabling custom apps.

Step 3: Create a New Custom App

• Click Create an app in the upper-right corner.

• Provide a name for the app (e.g., “29 Next Shop Sync App”) and assign a developer email.

• Click Create app.

Step 4: Configure API Permissions

• On the app’s page, click Configuration.

You must configure all of the following 10 permissions for Shop Sync to function:

• read_products,

• write_customers

• read_fulfillments

• read_publications

Step 5: Generate API Credentials

• Go to the API credentials tab.

• Click Install app.

• Confirm the installation.

• Shopify will generate the Admin API access token, which you can Reveal once. Ensure that you keep these values confidential and secure.

• Copy the Admin API access token to the form on Shop Sync in 29 Next to complete the set up.

Product Sync

If the setting Enable Product Sync is on in Shop Sync, the full list of products will be imported from your connected Shopify store and synced to your 29 Next products catalogue.

Edits and adjustments to your Shopify products will also automatically sync to 29 Next and modify your 29 Next products.

To properly sync to 29 Next, it is required that your Products in Shopify have a SKU code associated to them. Products without a SKU Code will not sync. It's also useful to ensure that any Variant Products in Shopify have product images associated to them.
