🤝 3. Hello System

DCKAP Integrator makes systems talk to each other. So far, we have experimented with tools inside the workflow. Now it is time to connect to real systems and see data flow in action.

In this chapter, we shall experiment with:

  • Shopify — a popular e-commerce platform

  • SFTP — a secure file transfer protocol for reading and writing files

Let’s set up the systems and collect the credentials first.

How to Create a Trial Shopify Store?

What is Shopify?

Shopify is a platform that lets you build and run an online store. Think of it like renting a fully-equipped shop space — but on the internet. The trial account lets you explore everything for free before committing.

What You'll Need Before You Start

✅ A valid email address

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Go to the Shopify Website

💡 You should land on Shopify's home page with a "Start for Free" button.

2

Start Your Free Trial by clicking Start for Free

Let us keep it simple. Enter your email address and enter a strong password of your choice. Skip entering personal information and Skip Customized Setup. You'll land on your Shopify Admin Dashboard — this is your control center.

🎉 Hooray, You're In!

Add Product

Choose Products from the left menu and click on Add Product. Add title and price and save. Example: Pen - 10 $

6.4 Click on Release. A window will pop-up. Click on Release.

Note Down Client Credential Information

Go to Settings on the left. You will find Client ID and Client Secret. Copy and have them handy for future use.
