How do I publish PostSprout articles to my Shopify blog? #
Open Settings and connect your store using Connect with Shopify when that option is available. Finish the Shopify authorization, test the connection and choose the destination Blog. Set Publish Target to Shopify blog and save it. Only the blog owner can change the publishing connection.
When to use it #
Use this connection for articles on your Shopify store's blog. Importing public Shopify products under Brand is separate from connecting a store for publishing.
Steps #
- Open Settings, then Shopify Blog Connection. Under Connect with Shopify, enter your store's
your-store.myshopify.comdomain and choose Connect with Shopify. Complete the Shopify authorization.
- If PostSprout shows a pending store installation, choose Finish connecting to link it to your current blog.
- Choose Test Connection to load the store's blogs. If the store has no blogs, the connection test creates a News blog.
- Select the destination Blog and choose Save. Set Publish Target to Shopify blog and choose Save Target.
If you already use a custom Admin API token, the same card has Shop domain and Admin API access token fields. A saved token can be used for testing without pasting it again. Use the app connection when it is available and you do not have a custom token.
Settings #
| Option | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Connect with Shopify | Starts the store authorization flow. |
| Shop domain | Identifies the store, using its myshopify.com domain. |
| Admin API access token | Supplies a custom token. Leaving this empty keeps an existing token. |
| Blog | Chooses which Shopify blog receives articles. Test the connection to load choices. |
| Publish Target | Select Shopify blog to use this destination. |
Common problems and fixes #
“Invalid shop domain. Expected your-store.myshopify.com” means the domain does not match the required store format. Enter the store's myshopify.com domain.
A store installed through Shopify authorization cannot be switched by editing the saved domain. Use Connect with Shopify to connect the other store.
If a saved custom token belongs to a different store, enter a token for the new store before testing it. Check both the selected blog and Publish Target if articles do not appear where you expect.
