# Shopify Plugin Integration

Shopify is completely cloud-based and hosted, which gives you the flexibility to access and run your business from almost anywhere. The Shopify plugin allows you to integrate with Verifone's Hosted Checkout.

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Before installing the Verifone Hosted cart, you must meet the following requirements:

* Prerequisites related to the Shopify platform:
  * Creating a store in [Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/about);
* Prerequisites related to using Verifone Hosted cart in conjunction with the Shopify plugin:
  * Create a [Verifone account](broken://spaces/dzivQyj8aHN5Kvmx8apX/pages/xtNZm2bMCANroETthpG2);
  * Merchant Supervisor role assigned (in order to check the roles assigned to your account, log in to Verifone Central using the URL you received in your welcome emails and go to *Administration* → *Users*).
  * A [Secure Card Capture key](/online-payments/api-integration-methods-auth-and-endpoints/secure-card-capture-key.md) is generated in Verifone Central, on the organization your user is associated with.
  * An [API key](/online-payments/api-integration-methods-auth-and-endpoints/api-authentication.md) is created on the user.

To use the Verifone Hosted cart via the Shopify plugin, you will need to [install](/online-payments/plugins/shopify-plugin-integration/installation.md) and [configure the Verifone settings](/online-payments/plugins/shopify-plugin-integration/automatic-setup.md).
