Adding API Key & Token
Now you’ll need to enter the API token from your newly created custom app.
From the overview section of your newly created app, go to the API credentials tab and click Install app.
Once you've installed the app, click Reveal token once to copy the API token and paste it into the API Token field in Simplified Checkout.
Checkout Linking
In this final step, we'll connect Simplified Checkout with your e-commerce store!
Choose how you want to connect your checkout.
-
Direct Link: Through our Direct Checkout Link extension, you can generate direct checkout links for each of your products.
-
Redirect Checkout: By adding a small script to your Sh*pify theme code, when your customers click on the checkout button, they will be redirected to your custom Simplified Checkout.
In this example, we'll be using the Redirect Checkout method.
From your Sh*pify Admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Edit code from the three-dot menu.
Search for footer.liquid and click on this file
Head back to the Simplified Checkout setup wizard and click Copy Script.
Please note that this script is uniquely generated for your instance.
Then paste it within the tag in the Sh*pify footer.liquid theme file.
Lastly, click Save and you're good to go!
Tip: You can modify your store settings anytime by navigating to Instances, followed by clicking the gear icon on any instance you want to configure.
Back in Simplified Checkout, click Connect My Store to complete the initial setup.
You'll land in the checkout instances area where you can start customizing your new checkout! In the next article, we'll cover the Instance Settings area.
Start Customization
After creating your instance for the first time, you’ll be presented with this screen.
Click Select Theme
You’ll be presented with the themes panel. You can pick one of the predefined themes or select New Blank Theme. We recommend selecting a theme for your first checkout test to keep it simple.
Tip: You can hover on any card to preview a theme before confirming your choice!
From there, you’ll be presented with the flowboard screen. You can configure the rest of the steps in the order you wish.
We’ve listed some more articles associated in the order we recommend. However, it is possible to configure it in the order you want, though some settings require certain steps to be configured first.
