First, go to your store admin interface and click on Apps on the sidebar.

Next, Click on "Develop Apps"

Now start a new App with "Create an App"

Name the app anything - this is not critical to the function of this plugin, but be sure its at least identifiable in what its function is. Click "Create App".

Now, you want to select "Configure Admin API Scope"

Next you want to filter the selection by using the phrase "discounts" and then enabling `read` and `write` permissions for both `discounts` and `price_rules` and click "Save".

Now click on "Api Credentials" and select to "Install App"

![](https://28907275-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTYpTOTvxCBAB2lWnWYhw%2Fuploads%2FnN4XjssO6ri0wDyiLt0V%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-05-06%20at%203.49.27%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=1989ec04-dd3b-4111-a6b3-9e4782cc2861)

Finally, you will see a modal with an input to "Reveal token once". Select this and take this string and paste it into the proper field on Mintplex.

You're done! Removing and un-installing the app from Shopify will break the functionality of this plugin so please only do so once you are totally finished with the discount plugin.
