# How to Download and Install Upstack Data App in Shopify

> Connect your Shopify store to Upstack from the Upstack dashboard — install the Upstack app and authorize the connection in a few clicks.

> [!TIP]
>
> * Sign in to your Upstack Data account
> * Open **System → Data Sources** and click the **Shopify** card
> * Enter your store address, click **Check store**, then **Connect with Shopify**
> * Authorize the app install in Shopify
> * Return to the Upstack dashboard with Shopify connected

## Prerequisites

* Active Upstack Data account ([sign up](https://app.upstackdata.com/signup))

* Active Shopify store (`your-store.myshopify.com`)

* [Shopify Admin](https://admin.shopify.com) access with permission to install apps

## Configuration steps

**1. Sign in to Upstack Data**

Open [app.upstackdata.com](https://app.upstackdata.com) and sign in with your Upstack account credentials. If you don't have an account yet, [create one first](https://docs.upstackdata.com/quickstart/create-an-account.md).

**2. Open the Shopify data source**

In the Upstack dashboard, open **System → Data Sources** and click the **Shopify** card. The **Connect your store** dialog opens.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The **Shopify** card appears only on accounts created at app.upstackdata.com. If you installed Upstack from the Shopify App Store, your store is already connected through that install.

**3. Connect your Shopify store**

Enter your store address: the part before `.myshopify.com`. To find it, open your Shopify admin and copy the name from the URL (`admin.shopify.com/store/your-store-name`). It can differ from your store's display name.

Click **Check store**, then click **Connect with Shopify**. Upstack redirects you to your Shopify Admin to authorize the app installation.

**4. Approve the app installation in Shopify**

Review the permissions Upstack requests, then click **Install** in your Shopify Admin.

Upstack requests read-only access to your store data — including orders, customers, products, and customer events — for event enrichment. The only write permission requested is `write_pixels`, which Upstack uses to manage the Upstack pixel.

**5. Return to the Upstack dashboard**

After approving the install in Shopify, you're automatically redirected back to the Upstack dashboard. The **Shopify** card on **System → Data Sources** now shows **Connected**.

## Verify the install

* In the [Upstack dashboard](https://app.upstackdata.com), confirm the **Shopify** card on **System → Data Sources** shows **Connected**.

* In your [Shopify Admin](https://admin.shopify.com), navigate to **Settings → Apps and sales channels** and confirm **Upstack: Site Intelligence** appears in your list of installed apps.
