Publishing to Shopify

What it does

Nexus publishes articles to the client's Shopify blog as drafts, with the SEO title and description set and the schema in the body.

Set it up

1. ✋ In the client's Shopify admin: Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → create an app, grant read_content and write_content, install it, and copy the Admin API access token (it starts with shpat_). Not the API secret key (shpss_).
2. "Connect Shopify with this token for example.myshopify.com: [token]."
3. A store with several blogs: "Use the News blog on Shopify."

Use it

• "Publish [title] to Shopify as a draft."
• "Update [title] on Shopify."

Troubleshooting

• The message says "That's the API secret key." Copy the Admin API access token from the same page instead.
• Images are missing. Generated images that live in Google Drive are left out; add them in the Shopify article editor.

Prompts

• "Connect Shopify with this token for example.myshopify.com: [token]."
• "Use the News blog on Shopify."
• "Publish [title] to Shopify as a draft."
• "Update [title] on Shopify."
