# How to Use The Integration

## Configuration

To activate the Shopify integration in Botpress, you need the following information:

- **Shop ID**: Found in the URL when accessing your Shopify store. For example, if the URL to your store admin is `https://admin.shopify.com/store/shop_id`, then the shop id you'll enter is `'shop_id'` .
- **Admin Access Token** and **Storefront Access Token** are needed to allow communication between Botpress and your Shopify store. To get these tokens, you need to create a Shopify app. If you already have one, please skip to step 7. Otherwise, follow these steps:

    4. Go to “API Credentials”, Under 'Access Tokens', choose 'Configure Admin API Scopes'.
    5. Please check the 'Read' access boxes for 'Customers', 'Orders', and 'Products'. This allows the bot to read these properties.
    6. Click 'Save' and then 'Install app' to complete the installation.
    7.  After installing, go to 'API Credentials' and copy the '**Admin Access Token**' and **Storefront Acces Token**.
