Module: connect Grok to Shopify

✨ Public teaser

What free visitors need to know

Connect Grok is Module 1: get Admin API access working so later modules can read/write products, orders, inventory, and themes — without pasting secrets into chat.

  • Prefix trap

    The #1 beginner mistake: putting a shpss_… value where Shopify expects shpat_….

  • MCP “ready” ≠ connected

    MCP can list tools while every live call still returns 401. Discovery is not auth.

  • Host literacy

    Custom storefront domains are not Admin hosts — you need YOUR_SHOP.myshopify.com.

  • Scopes need re-approve

    After scopes change, releasing a version is not enough — the merchant must re-approve, often with a fresh token.

  • Redacted flowchart

    Custom domain NO → myshopify host YES · Client secret NO → Admin token YES · Tools listed ≠ store connected.

  • Secrets stay local

    Never paste Client IDs, shpss_…, or shpat_… into chat. Outcomes only.

Safe reminders only — no real tokens.

    Public

    Auth traps before you touch a token

    shpss_… vs shpat_…, myshopify host, and why “tools listed” still 401s.

    Post-2026 path against YOUR_SHOP.myshopify.com — details subscriber-only.

    Bare host only — no https://, trailing slash, or custom domain.
