# Set up BizPrint for your Shopify store with Auto Order Printer

Section: Shopify

> Connect your Shopify store to BizPrint with the Auto Order Printer app, so your orders can print on your own printers.

This page shows you how to connect your Shopify store to BizPrint with [Auto Order Printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#auto-order-printer), the BizPrint app for Shopify. It is for Shopify store owners and the people who set up printing for them. Auto Order Printer prints with the [BizPrint desktop app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-desktop-app), so your [printers](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer) must be connected to a computer that runs it.

When you finish, your store is connected to BizPrint and has a printer location: a set of print settings that says which printer to use and what the printout looks like.

## Before you start

Before you start, you need:

- A BizPrint account, which you manage in the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-dashboard). See [Create your BizPrint account](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-account/).
- A [station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station): a Windows, Mac or Linux computer that runs the BizPrint desktop app and is connected to your printer. See [Create a station in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-a-station/), [Install the BizPrint desktop app on Windows, Mac or Linux](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/install-desktop-app/) and [Connect the BizPrint desktop app to your station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/connect-desktop-app/).
- The web address of your Shopify store.

The computer must stay on and connected to the internet and to the printer to receive [print jobs](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job).

## Install Auto Order Printer

1. Install the Auto Order Printer app in your Shopify store from the Shopify App Store.
2. Open your Shopify admin.
3. Click **BizPrint: Auto Order Printer** under **Apps**. The app opens inside Shopify.

Until setup is finished, the app shows a banner, **Finish Setup to Start Printing Automatically**. You can click **Launch Quick Start Guide** in it to follow the same steps on the BizPrint website.

## Create an application for your store

An [application](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#application) is the connection between your store and BizPrint. It has its own [Public Key and Secret Key](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#public-key-and-secret-key). You also give it a [webhook](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#webhook) address from the app, so BizPrint can tell your store about print jobs. See [Add the webhook address to your application](https://docs.getbizprint.com/shopify/set-up/#add-the-webhook-address-to-your-application).

1. Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard in your web browser.
2. Click **Applications** in the menu.
3. Click the plus (create) icon next to the **My Applications** heading. The **Create Application** screen opens.
4. Type a name you will recognize in the **Name** field, for example your store name.
5. Type the web address of your Shopify store in the **URL** field.
6. Open the **Platform** list.
7. Choose **Shopify**.
8. Open the **API Version** list.
9. Choose **REST API**.
10. Leave the **Webhook URL** field empty for now. You add it in [Add the webhook address to your application](https://docs.getbizprint.com/shopify/set-up/#add-the-webhook-address-to-your-application).
11. Read the note on the screen and tick its checkbox, if a checkbox appears. On some plans it appears when you have used all the applications your plan includes, and **Create** stays unavailable until you tick it. For plan details, see <https://getbizprint.com/pricing/>.
12. Click **Create**.

The page for your new application opens. It shows the application’s **Public Key** and **Secret Key**, each with a copy button.

> **Caution**
>
> Treat the **Secret Key** like a password. Never email it, post it in a chat, or share it with anyone who does not need it. Copy it straight from the dashboard into the app.

## Enter the keys in Auto Order Printer

1. Open **BizPrint: Auto Order Printer** in your Shopify admin.
2. Click the **Application** tab. It shows **Application API Keys**.
3. Copy the **Public Key** from your application in the BizPrint dashboard.
4. Paste it into the **Public Key** field in the app.
5. Copy the **Secret Key** from your application in the BizPrint dashboard.
6. Paste it into the **Secret Key** field in the app.
7. Select **REST API** under **API Version**. Do not choose **Legacy API \[Not recommended]**.
8. Click **Save Changes**.

## Add the webhook address to your application

The app shows an address in its **Webhook Url** field (only for the **REST API** version). BizPrint needs this address in your application to finish the connection.

1. Copy the whole address from the **Webhook Url** field on the **Application** tab of the app.
2. Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard.
3. Click **Applications** in the menu.
4. Click your application.
5. Paste the address into the **Webhook URL** field.
6. Click **Update** next to the field.

Your store is now connected to BizPrint.

## Create your first printer location

1. Click the **Printers** tab in the app.
2. Click **Create your first printer location**.
3. Type a name for the printer location in **Description**, for example “Front counter”.
4. Select your printer in the **Printers** box. Each printer shows whether it is online or offline. If your printer is missing, check that your station is connected and that the printer is added to it.
5. Choose a template under **Template**, for example **Customer Order Receipt**.
6. Change the other settings if you want to, for example add your logo under **Appearance** with **Upload**.
7. Save the printer location.
