Migration to Dev Dashboard

Dev Platform
1

How do I update the Storefront API Access Keys and Admin API Access Keys in the new Shopify app dashboard? I used to create apps in the deprecated Admin dashboard inside Shopify Admin.

I mean, I created an app to grant it special permissions and to build features for my Hydrogen serverless store, which I’m developing with React.

What do I need to do to migrate properly and keep the same permissions and configuration setup? I’m used to using an .env file instead of a .toml, for example.

Hey @HOYO,

Using the CLI would be the recommended method for developing new apps. As you can see here, there’s limited ability in the dev dashboard: About Dev Dashboard

For the access tokens, the Implement client credentials grant manually would be the process to follow.

Just to add on a bit to what @KyleG-Shopify said if you wanted to get Storefront access tokens using the new dev platform you would:

  • Create an app (you can do so in the dev dashboard) with the necessary scopes
  • Use the client ID and secret (from the settings page) to get a shop token that can run queries and mutations on the shop. That’s where client credentials comes in to get the shop token.
  • Use the shop token that comes back (with the necessary scopes) in the response there to create a storefront token using the storefrontAccessTokenCreate mutation

Please let us know if you run into any issues!
