Why is the Shopify OAuth app not triggering OAuth flow with the Connect SDK and displaying an API key form instead?

Hello! I have an issue I need help with

• Subject: Shopify OAuth app not triggering OAuth flow - shows API key form instead Hi Pipedream team, I’m integrating Shopify via your Connect SDK and having an issue with OAuth configuration. **Setup:**OAuth App ID: oa_7AiDXY
• OAuth App configured for: “Shopify (OAuth)” (only Shopify OAuth option in dropdown)
• Client ID & Secret: Added from Shopify Partner App
• SDK version: @pipedream/sdk@2.1.0
• Issue: When calling connectAccount() with oauthAppId, the OAuth flow never appears - it always shows an API key form instead.
• **What I’ve tried:**App slugs: shopify, shopify_admin, shopify_developer_app, shopify_partner, shopify_oauth
• Verified OAuth app ID is correctly passed to SDK (confirmed via browser DevTools - iframe shows oauthAppId=oa_7AiDXY in URL)
• QuickBooks OAuth works perfectly with identical pattern

Code:await client.connectAccount({
  app: 'shopify_admin', // Tried multiple slugs
  token: connectToken,
  oauthAppId: 'oa_7AiDXY',
  onSuccess: ...,
  onError: ...
});

Question: What is the correct app slug to use with “Shopify (OAuth)” OAuth apps? The iframe URL shows app=shopify_admin&oauthAppId=oa_7AiDXY but still displays API key form. Thanks!

Hey , you can use the app slug shopify for Shopify OAuth.

You can check out the Pipedream Connect Demo here (I have re-selected the Shopify OAuth app for you): One SDK, thousands of API integrations

You can switch to the Code/Debug tab to understand how it is setup

Hi thanks for the response, this is a helpful interactive tool. However, when I click on the “Connect Shopify (OAuth)” button, this modal pops up.

This is the same modal that pops up on the app Im working on, it clearly asks for a Client ID & Secret, which is NOT Oauth and that is the core of the problem Im having. I cannot get the Pipedream => Shopify OAuth flow to trigger, but instead I always get asked Client ID & Secret

Another thing to note, Ive setup a Shopify-Oauth account in Shopify. The OauthAppId on the modal is DIFFERENT than the OauthAppId I have setup in pipedream.

Despite deleting and creating new Shopify Oauth accounts in Pipedream, the Modal that pops up to trigger the Oauth flow ALWAYS shows oa_g5KiBG and not oa_M4ikZp
