Why Connect Shopify
Connect Shopify when you want Krev to work from your actual product catalog. Krev can import product names, descriptions, product URLs, and product images so your creative work starts with the right source material.
You control the permissions
The setup uses a Shopify custom app created inside your Shopify account. You choose the access scope, install it on your store, then paste the Client ID and Client Secret into Krev.
Krev only needs product read access for catalog import. You can revoke access anytime by disconnecting Shopify in Krev or uninstalling the custom app in Shopify.
Before You Start
- You need owner or developer access to Shopify Admin.
- Your Shopify store should already have products with images.
- Krev currently needs
read_productsso it can import products and product images. - Do not share the Client Secret outside Krev. Treat it like a password.

FAQ
Will Krev edit products in my Shopify store?
No. The current Shopify connection only needs product read access so Krev can import catalog details and product images.
Can I connect more than one Shopify store?
Create one custom app per Shopify store, then repeat the connection flow for each store you want to use with Krev.
How do I disconnect Shopify?
In Krev, open Shopify under Settings > Integrations and choose Disconnect. In Shopify, you can also uninstall the custom app to fully revoke access.
