How do I integrate my account?
There are now two options to integrate your Shopify account with Lexer. We'll run through both in this article. You have the option to integrate using the Shopify app, or through the hub itself.
We’ll start with integration via the Shopify app as it’s a bit quicker and easier. If you would like to skip ahead to integration via the hub, click here.
The Lexer App, now on the Shopify app store!
We have released an app to the Shopify App Store that allows you to quickly integrate Lexer with your Shopify account. This is great news for you if you use Shopify, it means your integrations have become even quicker and easier!
Do I have to use the Shopify app store?
No, there will be no change to current integrations. You can also still integrate using the hub if you prefer.

- Open up the Lexer app on the Shopify app store, click here.
- Click Add app.
- To grant the necessary permissions, click Install app.
- Enter your hub login details.
- Once you have successfully logged into the hub, you will see a pop up. You can then select the hub you would like to connect to the Shopify account, and add all of the groups you would like to have permission to this particular hub.
- If successful, you will see a prompt, “Shopify connected successfully”. Click, “Got it”, and you are all done!
Option 2: Integrating my account through the hub?
