2. Select your store

## Step 4: Store/Share Credentials

You can find the client credentials by visiting the app **Settings** page. You will need both the “Client ID” and “Secret”.

You will also need your store URL in the following format: your-store-url.myshopify.com. You can find your-store-url by visiting the store Admin page. The Admin landing page URL will look similar to the following:

:::BlockQuote
https\://admin.shopify.com/store/\{\{your-store-url}}/orders
:::

The portion of the URL after store, is your store name that you will want to provide.

## Step 5: Share your client credentials with Chord team

Your app's ***Client ID & Secret*** along with your Store's ***Shopify subdomain*** needs to be shared with the Chord team. These values will be used to facilitate either Data Ingestion or the support of server side webhook events. Please reach out to ***help\@chord.co*** if there are any questions.
