Custom App Credentials

Hi @ayan4m1! I can see where the confusion is coming from. Apps created in the Dev Dashboard don’t show up in Settings > Apps and Sales Channels > Develop Apps in your store admin - that section is only for legacy custom apps, which are being deprecated January 1, 2026.

When you create an app in the Dev Dashboard, you don’t get an Admin API access token displayed anywhere. Instead, you need to use the client credentials grant, token exchange or authorization code grant flows instead.

This was covered in detail in this thread where Kellan walked through the whole transition from legacy custom apps to Dev Dashboard apps. Worth reading through if you want the full context on why things changed.

The Client ID from the Dev Dashboard is equivalent to the old “API key”, and the Client Secret is the old “API secret key” if you’re mapping between the two systems. Let me know if there’s anything I can clarify for you!
