# Connect the Shopify App to Studio Hub

Connect the store when you want Studio Create, a shared multi-store account, or Studio-level teams.

## Existing Shopify App installation

1. Sign in to the Studio account that should own the store.
2. Open **Stores** and select **Connect a store**.
3. Enter the store's full `.myshopify.com` domain.
4. Select **Create connect code**, then copy the single-use code.
5. In the Shopify App, open **Connection**.
6. Paste the connect code and select **Connect store**.
7. Return to Studio and refresh the store list.

## Installing the Shopify App after creating the code

Create the store-bound code in Studio first, then install the Shopify App on that same store. A fresh installation can link to the account automatically. If it does not, use **Connection** and paste the code.

## What changes after connection

![A Shopify store connected to its Selvette account](/files/CmgTZYAALYKtoJvMuSNB)

* The store, Studio, and any sibling stores use one credit balance.
* One active recurring subscription owns billing for the account.
* A Shopify-owned subscription remains managed in that Shopify store.
* Studio Create uses the same plan; no second plan is required.

Connect codes are single-use and expire. If a code is rejected, create a fresh one for the exact store domain.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Selvette will not connect two accounts that both have active recurring plans. Cancel one plan and wait for it to lapse before retrying.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.selvette.com/shopify-app/connect-to-studio.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
