Installing Dream MRP from the Shopify App Store takes a few minutes. This guide walks through every path — whether you're brand new to Dream MRP or already have an account.
When you click Add app in the Shopify App Store, Dream MRP checks whether your store's email address already belongs to a Dream MRP account. Depending on the answer, you'll follow one of two paths:
Click Add app on the Dream MRP listing in the Shopify App Store. Shopify will redirect you to the Dream MRP authorisation page.
Dream MRP asks for permission to read your orders, products, and inventory. Approve the scopes to continue — Dream MRP only reads data it needs for planning.
Dream MRP looks up the email address on your Shopify store. If it finds an existing account, you'll choose what to do. If not, it starts the account creation flow.
Your Shopify store is connected to Dream MRP. Orders sync automatically, and you can begin building Bills of Materials and running MRP calculations.
If your Shopify store's email address doesn't match any existing Dream MRP account, we send you a Microsoft invitation email. This creates your secure Dream MRP account using Microsoft Entra — the same identity platform used by thousands of enterprise organisations worldwide.
You don't need to choose a username or password. Your Dream MRP account is secured by your Microsoft identity, which means you can sign in with any Microsoft-compatible account — including your personal Microsoft account.
The invitation email comes from Microsoft Invitations on behalf of Dream MRP App. Check your spam folder if you don't see it within a few minutes.
The invitation is sent by Microsoft's identity platform on Dream MRP's behalf. The sender will show as Microsoft Invitations on behalf of Dream MRP App. The organisation listed is Dream MRP App and the domain is dreammrpapp.onmicrosoft.com.
The email contains a single Accept invitation button. Clicking it takes you through a brief Microsoft sign-in, after which you'll be redirected straight to your new Dream MRP account — with your Shopify store already connected.
Only accept this invitation if you initiated the install from the Shopify App Store. If you weren't expecting it, you can safely ignore it.
If Dream MRP recognises your store's email address, you'll be shown a choice page before you sign in. You can see the email address that was matched, so you know exactly which account it belongs to.
You have two options: add the store as an integration to one of your existing Dream MRP organisations, or create a brand-new organisation billed separately through the Shopify App Store.
Your email address your@email.com already has at least one organisation in Dream MRP. How would you like to connect this Shopify store?
Choose this if you already use Dream MRP (with Xero, QuickBooks, or another Shopify store) and want to add this new Shopify store to the same organisation. The store's data — orders, products, inventory — will flow into your existing MRP setup.
If you have multiple Dream MRP organisations, make sure you select the correct one after signing in. The store connects to whichever organisation is active when you land on the Integrations page.
This option uses your existing subscription. No additional Shopify billing is created.
Choose this if you want to keep this Shopify store completely separate from your existing Dream MRP setup — for example, a second business, a different brand, or a store you manage for someone else.
A new Dream MRP organisation is created and billed through the Shopify App Store subscription. You can switch between organisations inside Dream MRP at any time.
Billing for this organisation is handled by Shopify. It appears as a recurring charge in your Shopify subscription billing.
Not sure whether to add to an existing organisation or create a new one? The table on the right covers the most common scenarios.
If you're still unsure, the safest starting point is usually add to existing — you can always move to a separate organisation later.
Check your spam or junk folder first. The email comes from Microsoft Invitations on behalf of Dream MRP App. If you still can't find it, restart the install from the Shopify App Store — a fresh invitation will be sent.
Microsoft invitation links expire after a few days. If yours has expired, simply reinstall Dream MRP from the Shopify App Store and a new invitation will be generated.
If you connected to the wrong organisation, you can disconnect the integration from the Dream MRP Integrations page and reinstall from Shopify to start the flow again.
Dream MRP requests write access to inventory so it can update stock levels when purchase orders are fulfilled. Orders and products are read-only.
Yes. You can connect multiple Shopify stores to a single Dream MRP organisation, or have each store in its own organisation. Repeat the install process from the App Store for each additional store.
Dream MRP searches all organisations across all regions for your email. If you see an unexpected match, it's possible a colleague used the same email address to create an account. Contact support if you're unsure.
Install Dream MRP from the Shopify App Store and be up and running in minutes.
