Shopify Integration
Automatically publish AI-generated blog posts from Next-Blog-AI directly to your Shopify Online Store blog.
One-click connection
Next-Blog-AI uses Shopify's official OAuth flow. You never need to create API keys or paste tokens manually — just click “Connect with Shopify” and approve the app in your Shopify admin.
How it works
- Connect your store — In your project dashboard, go to Integrations and select Shopify. Enter your store domain (e.g.
your-store.myshopify.com) and click Connect with Shopify. - Authorize the app — You'll be redirected to Shopify to approve the connection. Next-Blog-AI only requests
read_contentandwrite_contentpermissions — the minimum needed to manage blog articles. - Choose a target blog (optional) — If your store has multiple blogs, specify the Blog GID (e.g.
gid://shopify/Blog/123456789). If left blank, Next-Blog-AI publishes to your store's default blog. - Publish — When you publish a post in Next-Blog-AI (manually or via a schedule), it is automatically pushed to your Shopify blog as a new article. Updates to the post sync back to the same Shopify article.
What gets published
Each Shopify article created by Next-Blog-AI includes:
- Title and body — The full blog post content as HTML.
- SEO metadata — A meta title and meta description optimized for search engines.
- Featured image — The AI-generated hero image is uploaded as the article's featured image.
- Author name — Set from your project's Publisher Name (configurable in project settings).
- Tags — Blog post keywords are applied as Shopify article tags for discoverability.
Requirements
- A Shopify store on any plan (including development stores).
- At least one blog in your Shopify Online Store. If you haven't created one yet, go to Online Store → Blog posts in your Shopify admin and create a blog.
- A Next-Blog-AI account with a website project configured.
Managing the connection
Testing the connection
After connecting, click Test on the Shopify card in your Integrations page. This verifies that the stored OAuth token is still valid and your store is reachable.
Disconnecting
To remove the Shopify connection, click the disconnect button on the Shopify card. This revokes the stored credentials. Posts already published to Shopify remain in your store — they are not deleted.
Reconnecting
If your OAuth token expires or you see an authentication error, simply disconnect and reconnect. The new connection will pick up existing posts and continue syncing.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Post not appearing in Shopify | Check all blogs in your Shopify admin (not just the default). If you have a Blog GID set, make sure it matches the blog you're looking at. |
| 401 Unauthorized error | Your OAuth token has expired or been invalidated. Disconnect and reconnect Shopify from the Integrations page. |
| Wrong author on Shopify article | Set Publisher Name in your project settings. This is the name used as the article author in Shopify. |
| OAuth redirect error | Ensure the redirect URL in your Shopify Partner app settings matches your deployment URL exactly (including protocol and port). |
Data and privacy
Next-Blog-AI requests only the minimum Shopify permissions needed to publish blog content:
- read_content / write_content — Read and create blog articles.
We do not access customer data, orders, products, financial information, or any other store data. Your OAuth token is encrypted at rest and never shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
