# What is a Shopify token & how do I create one?

## If you have already have a Shopify store, great news! We can transfer product information and images from your Shopify store to your CREOATE store.

### What is a Shopify token?

In short, a Shopify token (also known as an 'Access Token' or 'API Token') is a code of around 38 letters and numbers which you can generate within your Shopify dashboard, and grants our systems access to the information they need to pull data (product information and images) from your Shopify store. 

### Where can I find my Shopify token?

1. Log into the Admin section of your Shopify account.
2. Go to Settings \> App & Sales Channel \> Develop App

3. Click on the '**Create an App'** button

6. Head to the tab **'API Credentials'**.
