Creating the Customer's Canvas App in Shopify

  1. In the Shopify admin panel, click Apps, and then click Manage private apps.

  2. Click Create a new private app.
  3. Type CustomersCanvas and your contact e-mail.
  4. In the Admin API section, in the Products, variants and collections list, select READ AND WRITE access.
  5. Click Save.

As a result, you have a private app for Customer's Canvas. If you click Manage private apps, you can see an API key and access token, which you will need later.
