---# Shopify Setup
Set up working Shopify CLI authentication and Admin API access for a store. Produces a verified API connection ready for product and content management.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Check Prerequisites
Verify the Shopify CLI is installed:
```bash
shopify version
```
If not installed:
```bash
npm install -g @shopify/cli
```
### Step 2: Authenticate with the Store
```bash
shopify auth login --store mystore.myshopify.com
```
This opens a browser for OAuth. The user must be a store owner or staff member with appropriate permissions.
After login, verify:
```bash
shopify store info
```
Expected response includes the shop name and domain. If you get a 401, the token is invalid or expired — recreate the app.
### Step 6: Save Store Config
Create a `shopify.config.json` in the project root for other skills to reference:
```json
{
"store": "mystore.myshopify.com",
"apiVersion": "2025-01",
"tokenSource": ".dev.vars"
}
```

## Critical Patterns
### API Version
Always specify an explicit API version (e.g. `2025-01`). Using `unstable` in production will break without warning. Shopify retires API versions quarterly.
