Connecting Shopify Store with Alendei for Basic Shopify Plan Users

If you have a Basic Shopify Plan, the steps to connect your Shopify store with Alendei will differ from other Shopify plans. First, follow the first 9 steps mentioned in this doc. Then, follow the additional steps below:

1. Copy the API access token, as shown in the image below

2. Now, go to Settings👉Notifications👉Webhooks

To retrieve your API Secret Key, tap settings👉Notifications👉Webhooks

3. Copy the API Secret Key under the title "Your webhooks will be signed with" as shown in the below image

4. Paste this Secret API Key inside the Alendei Platform

After pasting the API secret key, press connect!

That's it! You can now easily set up abandoned carts & other messages for your Shopify store.

However, to successfully capture all Shopify events like Order confirmed, Shopify's Basic Plan users also need to setup webhooks, which we've discussed in the next step.


​

5. Setup Webhooks

In your Shopify Dashboard, go to Webhooks and tap on "Create Webhook."

6. Next, select the Shopify events from the below table

7. After selecting the events, create Webhooks for those events

After tapping on "Create Webhook", here are the details you need to fill:

  • Event: Select the Shopify event you wish to create a webhook for in here.
  • Format: Format will stay JSON for all webhooks
  • URL: Add the same URL for all events.
  • Webhook API Version: Go to dropdown & select this as Stable.

After filling out all the details, tap save to add the webhook.

Repeat the same process to setup more Shopify messaging events.

Note: choose the Webhook API version as "2024-04(Latest)

8. Select your Shopify Checkout

Last, choose your Checkout Platform. In case you are not using any 3rd Checkout, choose default "Shopify Checkout".

Alendei provides options between top checkout gateway including Shopify, Razorpay, Breeze, Shiprocket Checkout, GoSwift, ecom360, GoKwik, and Simpl (upcoming).

However, if you use a different Shopify Checkout gateway, you need to contact us and if the integration is possible, we'll help build the Shopify Checkout gateway integration (this process will include development charges).
