# Binding Shopify and Customer's Canvas

**Applies to:** Customer's Canvas On-Premises; Design Editor 6.15.0, 6.x (may differ) · **Archived documentation**
 
To start the integration, you need to create a private app for Customer's Canvas and register its data in the Customer's Canvas backend. Let us take a look at how this can be done.
 
## 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 a password, which you will need later.
 
## Setting Up the Customer's Canvas Instance
  
Now, you need to go to the Customer's Canvas backend and make the following changes.
 
1. Log on to **h.customerscanvas.com**, and navigate to [https://h.customerscanvas.com/Account/Settings↗](https://h.customerscanvas.com/Account/Settings) 
    ![Account settings of Customer's Canvas.](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/images/Shopify_CCSettings.png)
2. Select **Shopify integration**.
3. In **Shopify admin type**, select **editors**.
4. In **Shopify access token**, type your password specified in the **private apps** settings of Shopify.
5. Type or copy-paste your Shopify URL as a subdomain of `myshopify.com`, for example, `https://myprints.myshopify.com`
6. Click **Save**.
7. Navigate to the **Shopify** tab.
8. In the Customer's Canvas instance URL, copy and paste your URL, e.g. `https://h.customerscanvas.com/Users/93d17983-f5c5-46dd-9c45-ec0b0e4774a1/SimplePolygraphy` 
    ![The Shopify tab of Customer's Canvas.](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/images/Shopify_CCUrl.png)

If done correctly, you will see a list of products on the **Shopify** tab. After that, you can embed Customer's Canvas as explained in [Adding Customer's Canvas to a Theme](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/adding-customers-canvas-to-themes.htm.md).
