What is Shopify?

Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create online stores. It also includes a built-in blogging system. Our platform integrates directly with Shopify's blog, allowing you to:

Automated Blog Publishing

Drive Traffic

Populate your Shopify blog with relevant, SEO-optimized content to attract more visitors.

Save Time

Automate the content creation and publishing process, freeing up time for other tasks.

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect your Shopify store

1

Create a Custom Shopify App

To allow our platform to publish articles, you need to create a private app in your Shopify admin:

  1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel
  2. Go to Settings → Apps and sales channels
  3. Click on Develop apps (usually in the top right)
  4. Click Create an app
  5. Enter an App name (e.g., "AI Blog Publisher" or "SEO Tool") and select an App developer (usually yourself)
  6. Click Create app

Creating a custom app provides secure API access specifically for this integration. For more details, see the Shopify Custom App Documentation .

2

Configure API Scopes

Grant the necessary permissions for the app to manage blog content:

  1. After creating the app, go to the Configuration tab.
  2. In the Admin API integration section, click Configure.
  3. Scroll down to the search box or find the Store content permissions.
  4. Check the boxes for:
    • write_content
    • read_content
  5. Click Save at the top right.

Permissions Explained

These permissions allow our platform to read your existing blogs (to get the Blog ID) and write new articles (including title, content, images, tags). We do not require access to orders, customers, or other sensitive data.

3

Install App & Get Credentials

Install the app and copy the necessary API credentials:

  1. Navigate to the API credentials tab for your custom app.
  2. Click the Install app button at the top right. Confirm the installation if prompted.
  3. Once installed, the Admin API access token will be revealed. Copy this token immediately – Shopify will only show it once.
  4. Keep this token safe. You will need it in the next step.
  5. You also need your Shop Name (e.g., `your-store` from `your-store.myshopify.com`)
  6. Finally, find your Blog ID:
    • Go to Online Store → Blog posts in your Shopify admin.
    • Click on the name of the blog where you want to publish articles (e.g., "News").
    • Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. It will look something like `/admin/blogs/123456789`.
    • The number at the end (e.g., `123456789`) is your Blog ID. Copy this number.

Security Note

Your Admin API access token is sensitive. Treat it like a password and do not share it publicly.

4

Connect in Our Platform

Enter the collected credentials into our platform:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations (or the equivalent section) in our platform.
  2. Find the Shopify section and enter the following:
    • Your Shopify Shop Name (e.g., `your-store`)
    • The Admin API Access Token you copied
    • The Blog ID you copied
  3. Click Test Connection or Save Credentials.
  4. Optionally, enable Auto-Publishing if you want generated content to go live automatically.

Connection Established!

Once connected, you can start publishing articles directly to your specified Shopify blog.

Publishing to Shopify

Learn how to publish content to your Shopify blog

After creating or generating content, publish it to Shopify manually:

From the Article Editor

  1. Open an article you wish to publish
  2. Click the "Publish" dropdown or button
  3. Select "Publish to Shopify"
  4. Confirm the target blog (if multiple are configured)
  5. Click "Publish Now"

From the Articles List

  1. Navigate to your list of articles
  2. Find the article to publish
  3. Click the "Actions" or "..." menu
  4. Select "Publish to Shopify"
  5. Confirm the action

Integration Examples

Example Shopify API interaction (Simplified)

When publishing, our platform sends data structured similarly to this example to the Shopify Admin API to create a new blog article:

POST /admin/api/2023-10/blogs/{blog_id}/articles.json
{
  "article": {
    "title": "Boost Your Store's SEO in 5 Easy Steps",
    "author": "AI Assistant",
    "tags": "SEO, E-commerce, Shopify",
    "body_html": "<h2>Introduction</h2><p>Improving your store's search engine visibility is key...</p><!-- more html content -->",
    "published": true,
    "image": {
      "src": "https://your-image-cdn.com/path/to/image.jpg",
      "alt": "SEO Boost Illustration"
    }
  }
}

Note: This is a simplified representation. The actual API interaction involves authentication headers and specific versioning. We handle the complexities of the Shopify API for you.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions

Connection Issues

If you encounter errors connecting your Shopify store:

  • Verify your Shop Name is correct (e.g., `your-store`, not `your-store.myshopify.com`).
  • Ensure the Admin API Access Token was copied correctly and hasn't been revoked. Remember, Shopify only shows it once upon installation. You might need to generate a new one if lost.
  • Double-check the Blog ID is the correct number for the blog you want to publish to.
  • Confirm the custom app in Shopify is installed and has the required `read_content` and `write_content` API scopes enabled.

Publishing Errors

If articles fail to publish to Shopify:

  • Check the error message provided by our platform or Shopify for specific details.
  • Ensure the selected Blog ID exists and is accessible.
  • Verify the API token is still valid and has `write_content` permission.
  • Image publishing issues might occur if the image URL provided is inaccessible or invalid. Ensure images are hosted publicly.
  • Rarely, Shopify API rate limits might be exceeded. If errors persist, wait a few minutes and try again.
