Adding interactive video to your Shopify website is so simple with our GhostRetail Shopify App.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Once the app is installed, on the far left of your screen there are 3 icons. The bottom icon will be the App Embed section. Click here and ensure that the GhostRetail App has been toggled 'On.'

1. To connect your Shoppable Video account to Shopify, go to your Admin Dashboard at admin.ghostretail.com. Sign in with your account credentials.

2. Once you have signed into your Ghost Admin Dashboard, navigate to the Settings page and under 'API Key' select Generate. Copy this key.

Important Note: This key can only be seen once and you won't be able to see it again once you exit the window.

Copy the API Key right away and keep the API window open during the entire app installation process.

3. Navigate to the Shopify App Store and install the GhostRetail App.
