# Install on the real store

> One link from the Dev Dashboard; your store's data syncs in by itself.

OPENSUBS PLATFORM

5 min

**1. Copy the install link**

* In the Dev Dashboard, open the app's **Distribution** page and copy the install link. Never generated one? Enter the live store's `.myshopify.com` domain and click **Generate link**.
* You'll see an install link scoped to your app; this link *is* how a custom app reaches a real store.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Checkpoint:** install link copied.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **On Shopify Plus?** The same screen offers "Allow multi-store installs for one Plus organization." Leave it unchecked for one production store; check it if sister stores in your organization will run OpenSubs too. Either way, dev stores stay fair game; the app's access carries wherever it installs.

**2. Install on your live store**

* Open the link, confirm your live store, and approve the access screen (the same grants you approved when you created the app).
* You'll see the OpenSubs admin open inside your real store's admin. Home greets you with a short checklist: **Migrate from another app** (optional) · **Create a selling plan** · **Connect email and SMS** · **Build a cancellation flow** · **Brand your customer portal**. That checklist is the next page, [Configure your store](https://docs.opensubs.com/platform-v2/live-for-new-orders/configure-your-store.md); the optional Migrate item has [its own pages](https://docs.opensubs.com/platform-v2/migrate/what-actually-moves.md), for when you're ready.
* Meanwhile the app builds its mirror of your store: your real products, customers, and orders appear on their own. The sync plumbing set itself up at install; there is nothing for you to configure.
