Connect your store
1
Open Videntic settings
In Videntic, open Settings → Integrations → Shopify.
2
Enter your store URL
Paste your Shopify store URL (e.g.
your-store.myshopify.com or your custom domain).3
Authorize Videntic
You’ll be redirected to Shopify to approve Videntic’s requested permissions. Review and click Install.
4
Confirm
You’ll be redirected back to Videntic. The integration card will show Connected with the store name.
The Shopify integration is per-website. If you track multiple Shopify stores in Videntic, connect each one separately from its website settings.
What happens when you publish a draft
When you click Publish to Shopify from inside a draft in Videntic:- Videntic creates a new article in your default blog (
newsby default, or the first blog if you’ve renamed it). - The article is created as an unpublished draft — it is not live on your storefront.
- The title, body, SEO fields, and schema markup are populated.
- You get a link to open the draft directly in Shopify for a final pass.
Data Videntic reads from Shopify
To keep Sira’s output consistent with your store, Videntic reads:- Products — titles, descriptions, pricing, and product types.
- Pages — static pages (About, Contact, etc.) to understand brand context.
- Articles — existing blog posts and authors.
- Blogs — your blog sections, used to decide where drafts go.
Data Videntic writes to Shopify
Only article content. Specifically:- Creating new articles as drafts.
- Updating articles Videntic previously created (if you edit a Videntic-originated draft in Videntic and re-push).
Troubleshooting
“Permission denied” on install Your Shopify role is missing Edit articles. Ask a store admin to grant you the permission or install the integration under an admin account. “Store not found” after clicking Connect Check the spelling of the store URL. Use the.myshopify.com form if your custom domain is giving errors — it’s the most reliable.
Draft didn’t appear in Shopify after clicking Publish
Check Content → Drafts in Shopify under your default blog. If it’s missing, look at the draft in Videntic — if the integration status is Disconnected, reconnect it and retry.
Draft appeared but formatting is wrong
Shopify strips some HTML attributes (like inline styles) on creation. This usually doesn’t affect readability, but if a layout breaks, edit the article in Shopify’s rich-text editor — the underlying structure is intact.
Disconnect
Open Settings → Integrations → Shopify and click Disconnect. Videntic stops publishing to your store and revokes the Shopify access token. Articles already published remain in your store — disconnection does not delete anything.Related
