  2. Take your store ID "f7e1c6-37" and submit it via the form below.
  3. Click here to start the installation of the Rules Shopify app. 
  4. Enter the name of your store in the format 'teststore.myshopify.com'. The name should not contain any prefixes, such as "http://", as shown in the image below.
  5. Read the instructions and approve the installation of the Rule app in Shopify, click 'Install unlisted app'
  6. The next step is to create an API key, which you can do in 'Settings' > 'Developers' > 'Create new key'
  7. Paste Rule's API key into the Shopify Settings tab
  8. Click 'Save'.


Data will start appearing in Rule immediately after the next order. We recommend that you make a test call to Rule for all your flows to see what data is collected and to which tag it is sent.
