    • Enter your Shopify Storefront Access Token. It should look like this: 4beffe41538252a1dde4a6a881857782.
  5. Enter your Store Name:

    • Find the Store Name field and enter your Shopify domain’s base URL (e.g., {store_name}).
    • Retrieve this element from the URL of your Shopify Admin, typically found as {store_name}.myshopify.com/admin.
  6. Save your settings:

    • After entering the necessary information, click the Save button to finalize the integration settings.

Completing these integration settings allows the iR Engine to access and load all the items available in your Shopify store, including 2D and 3D models. This integration is essential for placing your products into any of your virtual scenes.
