##### <span style="color: #003366;">**Installing Shopify in Hosted Pages**</span>

When you install this sales channel via hosted pages, you will need to provide the same required information as above. Once you've saved this information, the channel will establish an automatic connection to the platform on its own.

For a comprehensive guide on setting up your hosted page, please refer to our dedicated documentation page available [**here**](https://documentation.despatchcloud.com/books/user-menu/page/hosted-pages).
