The Shopify connector posts articles to one blog in your store — the "News" blog every store starts with, or any blog you've created since. We request the content scopes (`write_content`, `read_content`). We can create and read blog articles. We cannot see orders, customers, or payment data. ## Before you start * You need to be **store owner** or staff with permission to install apps. * The store needs an **active plan**. Shopify refuses app installs on paused, frozen, or cancelled stores — you'll be redirected to the reactivation page instead of the permission screen. * Your store needs at least one blog: **Shopify admin → Content → Blog posts → Manage blogs**. * Have your **permanent domain** handy — the `something.myshopify.com` one, not your custom domain. ## Step 1 — Enter your store domain **Project Settings → Integrations → Shopify → Connect**. Connect Shopify dialog with a Shop Domain field Your permanent domain, e.g. `seosorted-demo.myshopify.com`. Just the store handle (`seosorted-demo`) also works — we complete it for you. A full admin URL is fine too; we trim it. Your **custom** domain (`shop.seosorted.ai`) is rejected with *"Enter your permanent Shopify domain…"*. Shopify's OAuth only accepts the `.myshopify.com` host. Find yours in **Shopify admin → Settings → Domains**, under "Shopify-managed domains" — or just look at the URL while you're in the admin. ## Step 2 — Approve the install Click **Connect** and Shopify shows its permission screen. Shopify Install app screen for seosorted requesting access to staff data and store data Approve, and you're returned to the Integrations tab. ## Step 3 — Pick a blog The card shows **Setup required — pick a blog**. Shopify card showing Connected with Setup required — pick a blog and a Finish setup button Click **Finish setup**, choose the blog to publish into, and save. Stores usually have one ("News"); pick the one your theme actually renders. Configure Shopify dialog with a Publish to blog dropdown set to News ## Step 4 — Publish Open an article, click **Publish**, choose **Shopify**, then **Publish now**. Publish dialog showing Published with a myshopify.com blogs URL The article appears in **Shopify admin → Content → Blog posts**, visible and dated. Shopify Blog posts list showing Publishing Automation Checklist, visible, in the News blog Articles are created **published** (visible immediately) with: | Article field | Lands in Shopify as | | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Title | Article title | | Body | Article content (HTML) | | Meta description | Article excerpt/summary | | Author persona, or your workspace name | Article author | The success dialog links to the `myshopify.com` URL, which redirects to your custom domain. On a development store — or any store with password protection on — that link asks for the storefront password before it renders. ## Common problems You entered a custom domain or something that isn't a store handle. Use `yourstore.myshopify.com`. The store's plan is paused, frozen or cancelled. Shopify redirects app installs to reactivation until billing is active again. Reactivate the store, then connect. Your staff account lacks app-install permission. Ask the store owner to run the connection, or have them grant you the permission. The store has no blog yet. Create one in **Shopify admin → Content → Blog posts → Manage blogs**, then reopen the setup dialog.
