Publish to your Shopify blog automatically
For stores that want their blog to bring in search traffic. Articles are published to a blog on your store through Shopify's Admin API, and they can link to your product and collection pages.
How to connect
- 1
Add your website. Content Autopilot reads it and plans the first two weeks of articles.
- 2
Open Settings, go to the Publishing tab and choose Shopify.
- 3
Fill in the 3 required fields below and press Connect. The connection is tested before it is saved, and you are told what Shopify answered if it fails.
- 4
From then on, each article is published there on its scheduled day. Switch on "Hold articles for my approval" first if you want to read each one before it goes out.
What you will be asked for
- Store domain
- Admin API access token
- Shopify admin → Settings → Apps → Develop apps. Needs write_content.
- Blog ID
- The number at the end of the blog's URL in Shopify admin.
Worth knowing first
- Create the token in Shopify admin under Settings, Apps, Develop apps. The only permission it needs is write_content.
- The blog ID is the number at the end of the blog's address in Shopify admin.
- We publish blog articles only. We do not change products, collections or theme files.
What arrives
One article a day by default: a title, a slug, the body with headings and links to your own pages, a meta description, and a cover image when images are switched on. The same article is always published to your hosted blog too, so there is a copy with a sitemap and structured data whatever your CMS does with it.
