Overview

To authenticate with Shopify SCIM, you need one key piece of information:

  1. SCIM API Token - A token generated from your Shopify organization settings to authenticate SCIM requests.

This guide will walk you through the steps to generate and use this token to connect your Shopify account.

​
Prerequisites:

  • You must have an Enterprise Shopify Plus account.
  • You must have a verified domain and a configured SAML Authentication for your organization.
  • The logged-in user must have the necessary admin privileges to generate the SCIM API token.

​
Step 1: Generating Your SCIM API Token

  1. Log in to your Shopify admin and navigate to Settings > Users.
  2. Select the Security tab.
  3. In the SCIM Integration section, click Generate API Token.
  4. Click Copy to copy the generated API token to your clipboard.

Important: Store your API token securely, as it will be required to connect your Shopify account.

​
Step 2: Base URL for SCIM API Integration

When connecting your identity provider, you may need to provide a Base URL for Shopify SCIM. Use the following: https://shopifyscim.com/scim/

This URL is required by most identity providers to integrate with Shopify’s SCIM API.

​
Step 3: Connect Your Shopify Account

To authenticate with Shopify SCIM:

  1. Navigate to the Shopify authentication form in your identity service provider.

  2. Enter the following credentials:

    • API Token: Paste the token generated in Step 1.
    • Base URL: Use https://shopifyscim.com/scim/.

  3. Test the connection to verify the credentials.

  4. Click Connect to complete the authentication process.

​
Additional Notes

  • Once connected, you can use SCIM to:
    • Create and update users.
    • Assign or update user roles.
    • Deactivate users.
  • Make sure the users are associated with a verified domain for your organization.
  • For detailed SCIM integration steps with identity providers like Okta, OneLogin, or Entra, refer to the Shopify Help Center.

Keep your SCIM API token confidential and do not share it publicly. If the token is compromised, generate a new one immediately.
