Shopify data classification integration

Automate data classification by integrating MineOS with Shopify

How It Works

MineOS connects to your Shopify store with an admin API access token and scans your customer records to detect the personal data they contain.

Note: This article covers data classification. Setting up Shopify for privacy requests, including the choice between the Shopify delete, Shopify anonymize and Shopify GDPR endpoint integration types, is covered in the Shopify DSR integration article. Data classification works the same way with any of these types.

Before You Start

• You need to be the store owner.
• [Optional] Enable Preview mode to view sample PII values alongside classification results. You must enable Preview mode before running the scan.

Setting Up

In Step 2, mark the Scan this source using Data Classifier checkbox in the Set up integration wizard before you click Finish.

Step 1: Create a custom app in Shopify

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps and click Develop apps.
2. Click Allow custom app development, read the information provided, and click Allow custom app development again.
3. Click Create app and name it MineOS.
4. Open Configure admin API scopes and add:
   • Customers: read_customers (add write_customers if you'll also use Shopify for privacy requests)
   • Orders: read_orders
5. Click Save.
6. Open API Credentials and click Install app.
7. Reveal the admin API access token and copy it.

Step 2: Connect in MineOS

1. Log in to MineOS. On the left sidebar, click Inventory, then click Add data source. Search for Shopify and add it.
2. Open the Shopify system and go to the DSR & integrations tab. If the system already has an integration, click Add instance.
3. Under Action for fulfilling requests, select Integration, then choose your integration type in the Integration Type dropdown.
4. In the Set up integration wizard, paste the admin API access token and enter your Shopify store URL, for example https://your-shop.myshopify.com.
5. Click Finish.

You're done! MineOS has been connected to your Shopify store.

Tip: If the connection fails, check that the API scopes and store URL are correct.
