Where can I get my Shopify API Token for Data Migration?

To perform a Shopify data migration using Cart2Cart, you need a custom app and its Admin API access token. Shopify no longer supports custom apps or separate Admin API access tokens for new integrations.

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels.
  2. Click Develop apps. If prompted, click Allow custom app development.
  3. Click Create an app, enter a name (for example, Cart2Cart Migration), and click Create app.
  4. Open Configure Admin API scopes and grant the permissions Cart2Cart needs. For a full migration, select all relevant scopes (or choose Read and write where available for Products, Customers, Orders, Inventory, Themes, and related resources).
  5. Click Save, then click Install app and confirm installation.
  6. On the API credentials tab, click Reveal token once and copy the Admin API access token. Paste it into the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard.

Important: Shopify shows the Admin API access token only once. If you lose it, uninstall the app and reinstall it to generate a new token.
