# Setup Guide

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

To connect your Shopify account to DinMo, you need:

* Access to a Shopify account
* A shop
* You need to log in to your Shopify account before starting the setup process, if creating a connection via API.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only use an HTTPS URL with TLS version 1.2 or above.
{% endhint %}

## Setup instructions <a href="#setupinstructions" id="setupinstructions"></a>

### STEP 1: Begin DinMo configuration <a href="#beginfivetranconfiguration" id="beginfivetranconfiguration"></a>

1. In the connection setup form, enter your chosen **Destination schema** name.
2. Click **Continue Setup with Shopify**. You will be redirected to the Shopify app store.

### STEP 2: Install DinMo app <a href="#installfivetranapp" id="installfivetranapp"></a>

1. On the DinMo app page, click **Log in to install**.
2. Log in to your Shopify account.
3. In the Shopify App Store, select the store whose data you want to sync.
4. Depending on whether or not your application is already installed in your Shopify account, do one of the following:
   * If the app is not installed, click **Install**.
   * If the app is already installed, click **Update**.
5. Once you have finished, you will be redirected back to DinMo, and the **Shop name** will be automatically populated.

### STEP 3: Finish DinMo configuration <a href="#finishfivetranconfiguration" id="finishfivetranconfiguration"></a>

1. Click **Authorize** to allow DinMo to access your Shopify account using OAuth.
2. In the **Historical Sync Time Frame** drop-down menu, select the amount of historical data you want to include in your initial sync:
   * Select **Sync all historical data** to sync all available historical data from your source.
   * Select **Sync data from selected date** and choose a date in the **Historical Sync Start Date** field to limit the historical data synced for certain tables. This speeds up the initial sync. For a list of affected tables, see our Shopify connector historical sync time frame documentation.
3. Click **Save & Test**. DinMo will take it from here and sync your Shopify data.

We recommend that you create only one connection for each Shopify store.

## 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://docs.dinmo.io/integrations/dinmo-ingest/shopify/setup-guide.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.
