After the private app creation is complete is Shopify, you will be able to see its API Key, the Password (Admin API access token), and the Shared Secret (API secret key) required for the connection. Copy this information into HandiFox. You will also need to enter your store's name, as seen in the browser's address bar.

When you have finished filling in the connection info, click Test Connection. If the test is successful, click Next to proceed. Otherwise, double-check the entered data and make sure everything is correct.
