# Getting started

Choose a path through HeyCrust and verify the data you connect.

## Choose your path

App owners connect Shopify apps, inspect revenue and lifecycle data, build Flows and operate affiliate programs. Affiliates join programs and manage their own referrals and payout requests. Developers connect the implemented backend interfaces and MCP tools.

## Before you connect

Have access to the Shopify organization and the specific app you are connecting. A Shopify app identifier, HeyCrust app identifier and GA4 property identifier serve different purposes. Use the values requested by the relevant form.

## Verify the result

Open the app's Source observations and the affiliate program's Tracking tab. Receipt recency, source history, collection coverage and referral matching are different checks. A configured credential alone does not prove the complete referral journey.

## Continue

Use [API reference](/docs/api), [MCP](/docs/mcp) or [Help and reference](/docs/help) for the interface or issue you are working on.
