# Shopify

> Connect a Shopify store, review an Article, and verify its publication.

A Shopify connection lets you send Articles from Videntic to a store's blog. Your Project needs a Plan with CMS publishing access; check [Plans](/billing/plans) or the access shown in your Project if you are unsure.

## Connect your store

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the store domain">
    Find the store's `.myshopify.com` domain in Shopify, even if shoppers use a custom storefront domain. You can enter that domain or paste the full Shopify admin URL; Videntic normalizes an admin URL for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Project's integrations">
    In Videntic, open your Project's **Settings → Integrations**, then select **Shopify**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Shopify">
    Enter the `.myshopify.com` domain or full Shopify admin URL and select **Connect Shopify**. Review the requested access in Shopify and approve the installation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the connection">
    Return to Videntic and confirm the Shopify card shows **Connected** and the expected store domain.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Each Project connects to its own store. If you manage several stores, open each Project and check its connection before sending content.

## Review and publish an Article

1. Open the Article in Content Studio and check its facts, product references, links, and images.
2. Get the required editorial approval before sending it. Open the publishing dialog, select the connected Shopify store, and check that it is the intended destination.
3. Select **Publish** only when the Article is ready to go live. The Shopify publishing flow sends the Article as published content; there is no **Save as Shopify draft** option in this dialog.
4. Open the resulting Article in Shopify and at its live URL. Check the blog, formatting, images, links, product details, and publish status. Correct any problem promptly in the appropriate editor.

The available destination and update actions depend on the connected store and the Article's current state. Check the confirmation shown by Videntic before sending or updating content. If your team requires a CMS draft approval step, use a workflow that supports one; the Videntic Shopify Publish action is a live delivery action.

## Best practices

* Before sending a real Article, confirm the intended store and blog, then check the result there immediately after publication.
* Check generated product claims and prices against the live store. They may change after the Article was drafted.
* Review the Article in Videntic before publishing, then inspect the live Shopify page, especially when its layout, structured data, or images matter.

## Fix connection problems

**The store domain is rejected:** Use the `.myshopify.com` domain or a full Shopify admin URL, not the customer-facing custom domain.

**Shopify does not authorize the connection:** Ask a Shopify administrator to review the app installation and your store permissions.

**An Article is missing:** Check the store shown on the connection card and inspect the Article's publishing result in Videntic. Reconnect if the store no longer shows **Connected**.

To stop using the connection, open the Shopify integration card and select **Disconnect Shopify**. Review any content already sent to the store in Shopify; disconnecting is not a content deletion action.
