# Install on Shopify

> Install Galantis WhatsApp from the Shopify App Store, grant the required permissions, and launch into the in-app onboarding wizard.

Galantis WhatsApp is a public Shopify app. Installation is the standard Shopify flow — review permissions, click install, and you land back in your Shopify admin with the Galantis app launched. The whole step usually takes under 2 minutes.

<Note>
  There are two ways to connect: the **full WhatsApp Platform** (campaigns and automations) or a **simple chat button**. If you are not sure which you need, read [Choose Your Connection](/galantis/whatsapp/getting-started/choose-your-connection) first.

## What happens during install

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Shopify App Store listing">
    Use the install card above or visit [apps.shopify.com/galantis-whatsapp](https://apps.shopify.com/galantis-whatsapp) directly. Sign in to the Shopify account that owns the store you want to install on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the permissions Shopify shows">
    Shopify displays the data scopes Galantis requests — customers, orders, products, checkouts, script tags. Each one powers a specific Galantis feature. See [Required permissions](#required-permissions) below for what each scope unlocks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Install app">
    Shopify provisions the install, grants the permissions, and redirects you to the Galantis app inside your Shopify admin.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The Galantis in-app onboarding wizard launches">
    Once you land in Galantis, the onboarding wizard appears on the dashboard. Its first step launches **Meta's Embedded Signup modal** to connect WhatsApp — see [Connect WhatsApp](/galantis/whatsapp/getting-started/whatsapp-connection) for the modal walkthrough. From install to a connected dashboard typically takes about 5 minutes for merchants who already have a WhatsApp Business Account.

## Required permissions

Galantis requests these Shopify permissions during installation. Each one is tied to a specific feature — denying any disables the feature that depends on it.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Customers & consent" icon="user">
    **Read and write customers** — Syncs customer contact profiles and marketing consent state into Galantis. Consent status (`marketing_state`) is pulled from Shopify and kept in sync via webhook so opt-ins captured at checkout or in your customer account appear immediately in Galantis audiences.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Orders" icon="bag-shopping">
    **Read and write orders** — Required for order-based automation triggers (New Order Placed, Order Cancelled, Order Shipped), revenue analytics, and customer segment rules based on purchase history.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Products & collections" icon="box">
    **Read products and collections** — Required for the Catalog module. Product and collection data is synced into Galantis and optionally pushed to Meta for product message templates and catalog campaigns.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Checkouts" icon="cart-shopping">
    **Read checkouts** — Required for the Abandoned Checkout automation trigger. Galantis polls for incomplete checkouts every 10 minutes and matches them to opt-in customers.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Script tags" icon="code">
    **Read and write script tags** — Required to inject the storefront chat widget (Inbox) and the Back-in-Stock subscription widget into your Shopify theme. No manual theme code editing is needed.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  All permissions are required for the platform to function end to end. You can install Galantis with a subset and still explore the dashboard, but features tied to denied scopes will be inactive until you re-authorize. See the [Shopify permissions reference](/galantis/whatsapp/integrations/shopify/permissions) for the full breakdown.
</Note>

## What the in-app onboarding wizard does

After install, the wizard guides you through:

1. **Connect WhatsApp** — launches Meta's [Embedded Signup modal](/galantis/whatsapp/getting-started/whatsapp-connection) to attach (or migrate, or create) your WABA and phone number
2. **Sync your Shopify catalog** — optional during onboarding, can be skipped and configured later — see [First catalog sync](/galantis/whatsapp/getting-started/first-catalog-sync)
3. **Invite team members** — optional; roles and seats can be configured later under **Settings → Team**

<Tip>
  Skip steps you're not ready for. The wizard remembers progress and you can resume from the dashboard.
</Tip>

## Uninstalling Galantis

If you ever need to uninstall: in your Shopify admin, go to **Settings → Apps and sales channels**, find Galantis WhatsApp, and click **Uninstall**. Shopify revokes all granted permissions automatically. Your Galantis workspace data is retained according to standard retention policy in case you reinstall later.
