# Manage connected stores

> Connect, sync, reconnect, and disconnect Shopify stores.

Manage the Shopify stores in your organization from **Settings > Stores**. From
here you connect new stores, check their status, and reconnect or disconnect
them.

## Connect a store

Use **Connect store** to install Atlios on a Shopify store. You are sent to
Shopify to approve access, then returned to Atlios. For the full first-time
setup, see [Connect Shopify](/guides/connect-shopify).

## Sync store data

Before Atlios can scan a store, it reads the store's structure, such as its
metafields and metaobjects. This sync runs when you connect a store, and you can
run it again to pick up changes you made in Shopify. The stores list shows each
store's sync status.

## Reconnect a store

If a store's connection expires or its permissions change, reconnect it to
restore access. Reconnecting sends you back to Shopify to approve access again.

## Disconnect a store

<Warning>
  Disconnecting a store removes it from Atlios along with its scans and issues.
  This cannot be undone. Reconnect later if you want to track the store again.
</Warning>

Disconnect a store when you no longer want Atlios to track it. This frees up a
store slot against your plan's store limit.

<Note>
  Connecting and disconnecting stores is available to owners and admins. See
  [User roles](/reference/user-roles).
