Vendor's Guide to the Shopify App

June 27, 2026

Summary

For vendors: install the Flxpoint app in Shopify and share your Store URL and API Key to connect your store for catalog import and order fulfillment.

This guide is for a vendor connecting your Shopify store to a Flxpoint customer’s account via the Flxpoint app. Once connected, they can import your catalog and send you orders for fulfillment. You’ll install the Flxpoint app in your Shopify admin and share two credentials — your Store URL and API Key — with your Flxpoint contact.

If you’re the Flxpoint user

Send this document to your vendor. Once they’ve installed the Flxpoint app and given you their Store URL and API Key, you enter those details on your side in Flxpoint.

Step 1 — Install the Flxpoint app in Shopify

Step	Action
1	Log in to your Shopify admin at yourstore.myshopify.com/admin.
2	Go to Settings › Apps and sales channels › Shopify App Store.
3	Search for the Flxpoint app, click Install, and review the app permissions to complete the install.

After installing, open the “Are you a vendor authorizing a Flxpoint connection” section and click View my access keys. You’ll see two values to copy:

Credential	What it is
Store URL	Your store address ending in .myshopify.com.
API Key	The key Shopify generates for the Flxpoint connection.

Send both to your Flxpoint contact through a secure channel (encrypted email or a shared vault). Never post tokens in public channels.

Important

Don’t re-authenticate unless necessary

Re-authenticating the Flxpoint app generates a new API key, which disconnects any existing integrations. If you plan to connect with more than one Flxpoint user, leave the existing authorization in place.

Store your access keys when created

You won’t be able to view them again. If you lose them, you’d have to re-authenticate to generate new ones — which breaks existing connections.

Why this matters

The Flxpoint app connects your Shopify store to your Flxpoint user’s account using the credentials you provide. Products from your Shopify are pulled into Flxpoint, and orders created in Flxpoint can be sent to your Shopify for fulfillment. It’s a one-time setup that removes the need for manual updates.

FAQs

Which credentials does my Flxpoint contact actually need?

Just two: your Store URL (ending in .myshopify.com) and the API Key shown under “View my access keys” after you install the app.

I lost my API key — can I see it again?

No. Shopify only shows it once. You’d need to re-authenticate to generate a new key — but be aware that disconnects any existing Flxpoint integration, so coordinate first.

Can more than one Flxpoint user connect to my store?

Yes, but do not re-authenticate to add another — that regenerates the key and breaks the existing link. Reuse the existing credentials, or coordinate the change.

How should I send the keys?

Through a secure channel only — encrypted email or a shared password vault. Never post API keys in public chat or email threads.
