# Connect a Shopify store with a custom-app Admin token

`POST /v1/messaging/connect/shopify/token`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/messaging/connect/shopify/token`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Token-paste alternative to the OAuth flow: connect a store using the
Admin API access token of a custom app the merchant created in their
own Shopify admin (Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps,
with the `read_content`, `write_content`, `read_products` and
`write_products` scopes). Use this when the
one-click OAuth connect is unavailable or when your users prefer not
to install a third-party app on their store. The token is validated
against the store before anything is saved; custom-app tokens do not
expire. Connecting the same profile to a store again replaces the
stored token in place.
