How to Connect Your Shopify Store
Publish AI-generated blog articles directly to your Shopify store with one-click authorization.
Before You Start
- 1A BlogAmplify account (free to create)
- 2A Shopify store with admin access
- 3At least one blog created in Shopify (Online Store → Blog posts → Manage blogs)
Step-by-Step Guide
Log in to BlogAmplify
Sign in to your BlogAmplify account. If you haven't created one yet, sign up here first.
If this is your first time, you'll be guided through the onboarding wizard. The integration step is at the end (Step 5). If you've already completed onboarding, go to Settings → Integrations from the sidebar.
Select Shopify as your platform
On the integration page, you'll see four platform options. Click the Shopify card to select it.
Enter your Shopify store URL
Enter your Shopify store URL in the format mystore.myshopify.com or https://mystore.myshopify.com. You can find this in your Shopify admin URL bar.
Click "Connect with Shopify" to begin the OAuth authorization flow.
Authorize BlogAmplify in Shopify
You'll be redirected to Shopify's authorization page. This page shows the permissions BlogAmplify is requesting:
- Read and write content — required to create blog articles and upload images
Click "Install app" to authorize. You'll be redirected back to BlogAmplify automatically.
Select your blog
After connecting, BlogAmplify will load all blogs from your Shopify store. Select the blog where you want articles to be published from the dropdown.
If you don't see any blogs, you'll need to create one in Shopify first: Go to Shopify Admin → Online Store → Blog posts → Manage blogs → Add blog.
Set the author name
Enter the author name that will appear on published articles (e.g. "John Smith" or your company name). Click Save.
This is optional — if left blank, the store name will be used as the default author.
Complete setup
Click "Complete Setup" (during onboarding) or simply navigate away (from the integrations page). Your Shopify connection is now active. BlogAmplify will publish articles directly to your selected blog whenever you generate and approve content.
Troubleshooting
"No blogs found" after connecting
Your Shopify store needs at least one blog before BlogAmplify can publish. Go to Shopify Admin → Online Store → Blog posts → Manage blogs and create a blog (e.g. "News" or "Blog"). Then return to BlogAmplify and refresh the page.
Authorization fails or redirects to an error page
Make sure:
- Your store URL is correct (include
.myshopify.com) - You are logged into the correct Shopify account
- You have store owner or admin permissions
- Pop-ups are not blocked by your browser
Articles publish but don't appear on the storefront
Check these common causes:
- The blog must be visible in your Shopify theme navigation. Go to Online Store → Navigation and add the blog to your menu.
- Make sure your theme supports the blog section. Some themes require manual setup.
- Check if the article is set to "Published" status in Blog posts.
Featured image is not showing on the article
BlogAmplify uploads featured images via URL. Ensure your Shopify store can fetch external images (not blocked by any app or firewall). If the issue persists, try re-publishing the article from the BlogAmplify editor.
"Shopify API error" when publishing
This usually means the access token has expired or been revoked. To fix:
- Go to Integrations in BlogAmplify
- Click Disconnect
- Reconnect using the same steps above
