You Already Have a Shopify Store

Follow these steps to invite Integral as a staff member with the permissions needed to build and connect your headless storefront.

1
Log into your Shopify admin

Go to your store's admin panel. The URL will look like this:

your-store-name.myshopify.com / admin

Not sure what your store URL is? Check your Shopify welcome email or look at the URL in your browser when you're logged in to the Shopify dashboard.

2
Navigate to Users & Permissions

From the left sidebar, go to:

Settings Users and permissions Add staff
3
Enter the Integral email

In the email field, enter:

4
Set permissions

Enable all of the following permissions before sending the invite:

Storefront API
Products
Orders
Themes
Apps and sales channels
Manage and install apps

Important: If you're on the Basic Shopify plan, you may be limited to 2 staff accounts. If the invite button is unavailable, you'll need to upgrade to the Shopify plan or above to add another staff member.

5
Send the invite

Click Send invite. Integral will receive an email and accept from their end. You're done — no further action needed on your side.

Also send us your store's .myshopify.com URL so we can reference it on our end:

your-store-name.myshopify.com

You Don't Have a Shopify Store Yet

Create a store first, then follow Route A above. You only need the basic plan to get started — Integral handles the build from there.

1
Create your Shopify store

Go to shopify.com and sign up. Use an email and store name that represents your brand. You'll get a free trial — no payment needed to start.

Pick your store name carefully — it becomes your permanent .myshopify.com URL and cannot be changed later (even if you connect a custom domain).

2
Follow Route A above

Once your store is created, go back to the top of this page and follow Route A steps 1–5 to invite Integral as a staff member.

Generating the Storefront API Key

Once Integral accepts the invite, we'll create the API credentials needed to connect your store to the headless site. For reference, here's how it works:

Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → Create an app
→ Name it "Headless Storefront"
→ API credentials → Generate Storefront API access token

We generate two tokens:

Storefront API token — public, used by the website frontend to query products and handle cart/checkout
Admin API token — private, used server-side for order management and product sync

You don't need to do this yourself — Integral handles API setup once we have staff access. This is here so you know what we're building.
