Creating a custom Shopify app

In order to connect your Shopify store with DeployHQ, you'll need to have admin access to your store and create a custom app.

This app will then provide a token for DeployHQ to use. The URL to your Shopify admin portal looks like this: https://admin.shopify.com/store/store-name.

Once there, click on the 'Apps' link in the left-side navigation panel.
