Integrating with Shopify

Connecting RankPill to your Shopify store is a powerful way to turn AI-generated content into published blog posts that drive traffic to your online store. The integration allows you to push fully formatted articles—complete with images, meta descriptions, and proper structure—directly into your Shopify blog. This eliminates the tedious work of copying and pasting, preventing typos and formatting errors while letting you schedule posts in advance or publish them instantly.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Admin access to your Shopify store
  • At least one blog set up in your Shopify store

Connecting Your Shopify Store

Step 1: Open the Dev Dashboard

Go to dev.shopify.com/dashboard and log in with your Shopify account.

Step 2: Create a New App

Click “Create app” and give it a name (e.g. “RankPill”).

Step 3: Configure API Scopes and Release

Set the access scopes to read_content and write_content, then click “Release” to create a version.

Step 4: Copy Your Credentials

Go to your app's Settings page on the Dev Dashboard. Copy your Client ID and Client Secret.

Step 5: Install the App on Your Store

Go to “Home” on the Dev Dashboard and click “Install” to add the app to your store.

Step 6: Connect in RankPill

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Shopify in your RankPill dashboard
  2. Enter your store URL (e.g., your-store.myshopify.com), Client ID, and Client Secret
  3. Click “Connect” — RankPill will validate and fetch your available blogs
  4. Select which blog to publish to
  5. Click “Complete Setup”

RankPill will handle token exchange and refresh automatically using your credentials.

Store URL Format

When entering your store URL, you can use any of these formats:

  • your-store.myshopify.com
  • https://your-store.myshopify.com
  • your-store (we'll automatically add .myshopify.com)

If you're using a custom domain, you must use your original .myshopify.com URL for the API connection.

Selecting Your Blog

During the setup process, you'll choose which blog to use for your articles. Shopify stores can have multiple blogs like “News” (default), “Blog”, “Articles”, or custom blog names you've created. Select the one where you want your AI-generated articles to be published.

Once connected, RankPill automatically maps your article fields to Shopify's structure: title, content (HTML), meta description, slug (handle), and featured image. You can then publish immediately, schedule articles for future publication, or enable autopilot for fully automated content publishing.

Updating Published Articles

After publishing an article to Shopify, you can update it directly from RankPill. Simply make your changes in the RankPill editor and click the “Update Article” button. Your changes will be pushed to your Shopify store automatically.
