Access Token no longer available on Shopify?

[olsp]

I just tried to connect the Shopify Plugin to the Shopify store but can't get the needed credentials.

I created an app via the dev dashboard but can't find the necessary data for

4. Admin API access token: Reveal and copy this value into your .env file, as SHOPIFY_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN.

What I do get via the dev dashboard is Client ID and Secret but no Admin API access token.

From what I understand, the dev dashboard is rather new and also a new API version is available (2025-10). Is the plugin not yet compatible with the changes made by Shopify or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @olsp

Thank you for your message.

When creating your develop app in Shopify your Admin API access token can be retrieved from the API credentials tab.

Shopify have just recently updated their PHP SDK (which this plugin relies on) with 2025-10 compatibility, we are currently testing and updating this plugin with that version.

We hope to get a release out soon, in the meantime you can use the 2025-07 version which the plugin is compatible with and will see no difference in performance.

Hope this helps, thanks!

Hi @nfourtythree,

thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, I can't see the screen like on your screenshot. I assume you are not under https://dev.shopify.com where new apps are created? It says, that new apps can't be created the "old" way after January 2026. So I don't want to use this option since it's already marked deprecated.

Hi @nfourtythree,

I have also created an app through the dev dashboard and the only API credentials available are Client ID & Secret. In order to have access to the Storefront API, this has to be specifically requested when creating the app, this doesn't return a Storefront API specific token.

Hi all

Just to keep everyone up-to-date we are working on a new version of the plugin which will be compatible with creating apps from the Dev Dashboard.

We are trying to get this out as soon as possible and we will post any updates related to that in this thread.

As a question on this topic, the few test stores we have still show access to creating a custom develop app in the current methodology. Do your stores not show the option to create a legacy app in Settings > Apps and sales channels > Develop App?

Thanks!

Thanks for the update. It seems I could create a legacy app, but I prefer not to. I don't want to start something new that's already "deprecated". Sooner or later I will have to switch to the new system. Since my current project is not super urgent, I prefer to wait until the plugin is compatible with the Dev Dashboard.

Thank you for taking care of this
