Install & connect Live Events
Summary: Install Live Events from Shopify, approve the permissions it requests, and open it from your Shopify admin.
Before you begin
- You need a Shopify store and a Shopify account with permission to install apps.
- Installing a Shopify app is a standard Shopify flow. If you run into anything store-level (account access, billing, app management), see Shopify Help.
Steps
- Open Live Events from the Shopify store's app listing and start the install.
- Review the permissions Live Events requests and approve them to continue. Live Events asks to:
- Read your orders, products, inventory, and locations, so it can show sales, stock, and venues.
- Write inventory and locations, so it can create venues and inventory locations and keep stock in sync.
- Read and write publications, so products can be made available to your event sales channel (POS).
- After approving, Live Events opens embedded in your Shopify admin. You'll land on the Dashboard, with a welcome panel and a Pages grid linking to Locations, Event Groups, the Event Calendar, Settlements, Analytics, and Barcodes.
- From the welcome panel you can jump straight into Create an event or Add a location, or use the Pages grid to explore. Dismiss the welcome panel once you're oriented.
No separate account or login is required — Live Events connects to the store you installed it on.
