# How to connect

### Steps to connect

1. Go to the Integrations Area – Navigate to Settings > Integrations in your Zaapi account.
2. Click 'Connect Shopify' – Locate Shopify in the list of available integrations and click the Connect button.
3. Log Into Shopify & Authorize – You will be redirected to the Shopify login page. Sign in to your account and review the permissions required by Zaapi. Click Install app to approve the connection.
4. Wait for Redirect – Once authorized, Shopify will automatically redirect you back to your Zaapi integrations page.
5. Confirm Connection – You will see a "Connected" status next to the Shopify integration in Zaapi. Your Shopify store is now successfully linked!

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure you are the store owner or have admin permissions for the Shopify store you wish to connect. Without the correct permissions, you will not be able to install the Zaapi app.
{% endhint %}

#### For users with multiple brands

If you manage multiple brands, you must choose the messaging channels that you associate with that Shopify store. This ensures that the products and customer data visible on a contact's profile are linked to the correct store.

> Example: Your *Doi Sportswear WhatsApp account* should be linked to the *Doi Sportswear Shopify store*.

You can manage these channel associations in the Shopify integration settings after the connection is complete.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.zaapi.com/integrations/shopify/how-to-connect.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
