Those who have previously used Shopify’s previous version can continue to connect to the API through a private app as usual. Let’s see this video guide on how to connect WooCommerce and Shopify using a Private App.
Please note that private apps are deprecated and can’t be created as of January 2022. If you’re using a private app which was created before, you can still use this API in our plugin to migrate. If you’re new, please ask your app developer to create a custom app. Like private apps, custom apps are built exclusively for your shop, but they don’t require open API access to your store or access to your Shopify admin.
* Important note:
- You should enable only what is necessary for your app to work.
- Treat the API key and password like you would any other password since whoever has access to these credentials has API access to the store.
- Change your API at least once a month
- If you only use API to import data, remove API permissions or delete the API after the import is completed.
Just like the custom app, after you finish configuring the API credentials, the 2 tabs below will appear letting you migrate from the WooCommerce store to the Shopify store:
