Install the Windows Agent

Download the package

Open Tally Connect → Setup in Shopify Admin and select Download Tally Connect for Windows. If the button says the installer is not configured, contact the app operator.

Create a pairing code

Select Create pairing code. The eight-character code is single-purpose and expires after 10 minutes. Create a new one if setup is delayed.

On the Windows computer where TallyPrime runs, enable HTTP/XML access on 127.0.0.1:9000 and load the company you want to connect. The setup wizard will not consume the pairing code until the cloud, TallyPrime, and loaded company checks pass.

Run the installer

Run the downloaded TalleyConnectSetup-<version>.exe as the same Windows user who runs TallyPrime. Confirm the official publisher for a production package, follow the prerequisite checks, and enter the one-time pairing code. No Shopify password, API key, Tally password, Node.js, or developer tool is required.

Confirm the heartbeat

Wait for Connection established, then return to Shopify Setup. The Agent should appear online with a recent heartbeat. Finish company binding, mappings, the disposable ₹1 voucher test, and the live-write safety gates in Shopify.

Runs in the background

The installer creates a restartable per-user scheduled task and starts the Agent immediately. TallyPrime still needs to be running for reads and writes.

Run diagnostics

From PowerShell, as the same Windows user:

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Talley Connect\TalleyConnectAgent.exe" diagnose --json

The command checks local configuration, protected credentials, cloud readiness, Tally reachability, the loaded company, and the detected Tally release. The redacted rotating log is at:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Talley Connect\agent.log

Reinstalling

Reopen Tally Connect Setup from the Windows Start Menu to run diagnostics, repair the Agent, or re-pair the same computer. To move a Shopify store to a different computer, revoke the old connector in Shopify first, then install on the replacement computer with a fresh pairing code. Only one active computer is allowed for each store.
