# Drive your first practice store

Create a store with modeled history, connect your agent, and drive it through one bounded simulation. The store hands you a receipt at the end.

## Use this when

Use this when you want the shortest path from a new [practice store](/help/definitions.html#definition-practice-store) to inspectable evidence.

## Before you start

Have an agent or Shopify Admin client that can send one authenticated GraphQL read.

## Steps

- **Create a practice store.** Choose a scenario for the commerce behavior you want to simulate.

- **Confirm connection with one authenticated read.** Point the client at the store Admin URL and token.

- **Start a run.** Choose who controls Store time and open the observation window.

- **Run the agent.** Let it read and, when appropriate, make one bounded state-changing call.

- **Open the receipt.** Review recorded behavior, modeled change, and proof boundaries.

## Success looks like

The receipt opens with the expected store, agent/run identity, recorded calls, and an explicit evidence boundary.

## If it fails

If the first read is not recorded, stop: recheck the Admin URL, send the whole per-store token as `X-Shopify-Access-Token`, and retry the read before starting another run.
