How to Integrate Group Leads with Shopify

Connecting your Shopify store to GroupLeads allows you to automatically create new customer profiles, sync email addresses, and assign marketing tags to Facebook Group members directly inside your Shopify Admin.

Follow the step-by-step guide below to create a custom Shopify App, generate an Admin API Access Token, retrieve your Store Domain URL, and connect them using the CRM tab in the GroupLeads Chrome Extension.

Prerequisites

• An active Shopify store with Admin access.

3. In the left navigation menu, click Apps and sales channels.

   

4. Click the Develop apps button at the top.

   

5. Click Create an app.

Step 2: Configure Admin API Scopes & Generate Access Token

1. On the Overview tab of your new app, click Configure Admin API scopes.

   

2. Under the Admin API access scopes list, scroll down and check the required customer permissions:

Step 5: Configure Shopify Credentials and Verify

1. Under CRM Integration, select Shopify from the dropdown list.
2. Toggle ON Send Questions/Answers to Shopify (if you want member Q&A responses saved).
3. Enter your saved credentials into the respective input fields:
   • Exact Tag Name *: Enter your desired customer tag (e.g., FB Group).
