How to Connect Your Shopify Store to Treecat

Connect Shopify to Treecat in about five minutes—no Shopify App Store installation required. You’ll need a Treecat account and access to the Shopify store owner’s login.

1. Start the Shopify connection in Treecat

In Treecat, go to Settings → Marketplaces → Add marketplace, then choose Shopify. Treecat will guide you through the setup steps.

For step one, click the link to open the Shopify Dev Dashboard. Sign in with the store owner’s Shopify login if prompted, then open Apps and click Create app.

Name the app Treecat and untick Embed app in Shopify admin.

2. Add permissions and release the app

Return to Treecat and copy the permissions list in step two. In the Shopify app setup, paste it into the Scopes field, then click Create app and Release to activate the first version.

On the app’s overview page, click Install app. The button may instead say Test app. Confirm the installation and review the access Shopify lists.

Shopify may then open a plain example-domain page. This is expected—the app doesn’t have its own website, so you can close the page.

3. Enter your app details in Treecat

On the Shopify app overview page, copy the Client ID and Client secret. The secret may remain hidden on screen after you copy it.

Next, find your Shopify store address in Shopify settings, where it appears under the store name. Return to Treecat and enter the store address, Client ID, and Client secret. Treecat stores the secret encrypted.

Click Test to check that the connection details and permissions are correct. If the test succeeds, click Connect.

4. Confirm the connection and sync orders

Treecat saves the store using its original Shopify address. Once connected, your Shopify store will appear in Treecat’s marketplaces, and orders from the last 60 days will be added to Sales. Shopify limits apps like Treecat to accessing orders from this period.

Updating permissions later

If you need to add permissions, release a new version of the app in Shopify. Then approve the updated data access in Shopify and connect the store again in Treecat.
