Here's the difference 2025 vs 2026:
| Old Way (Legacy) | New Way (2026+) |
|---|---|
| Shopify gave you a permanent access token | No permanent token |
| Store it once, use forever | Generate token on-demand |
| Just use the token directly | Use client_id + client_secret to get token |
Flow now:
STORED (permanent)
• SHOPIFY_API_KEY (client_id)
• SHOPIFY_API_SECRET_KEY (client_secret)
• SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN
GENERATED (temporary, expires in 24h)
• access_token ← get using client_id + client_secret
API CALLS
• Use access_token in X-Shopify-Access-Token header
