# Shopify

Shopify offers developers to integrate Shopify's functionality into custom apps outside of the official website. This can be used to allow access to Shopify's API through the iMBrace platform.

**STEP 9:** In iMBrace, create a new credential of type **Shopify API** and enter the API key and shop subdomain. Enter the secret key into the **Shared Secret** field and the access token into the **Password** field. Then click **\[Submit]**.
