Authorization

OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorizing or giving permissions to apps. This framework enables third party applications to obtain limited access to your store.

The OAuth Flow

Shopify uses OAuth 2.0's authorisation code grant flow to issue access tokens on behalf of users. The OAuth flow is used so that users can authorize Shopify apps to access data in a store. For example, an app might be authorized to access orders and product data in a store.

• The user makes a request to install the app.
• The app redirects to Shopify to load the OAuth grant screen and requests the user to authorize the required permissions.
• The user authorizes the app by consenting to the requested permissions.
• The app receives an authorization grant. This is a temporary credential representing the authorization.
• The app requests an access token by authenticating with Shopify and presenting the authorization grant.
• Shopify authenticates the app, validates the authorization grant, and then issues and returns an access token. The app can now request data from Shopify.
• The app uses the access token to make requests to the Shopify API.
• Shopify validates the access token and returns the requested data.
