Shopify integration

OverSerp publishes articles to a Shopify blog through the Admin API, using a custom app that you create in your store.

Requirements

• A Shopify store with at least one blog (Online Store → Blog posts)
• Permission to develop apps in the store (store owner or staff with app development rights)

Step 1: Create a custom app

1. In Shopify admin go to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps.
2. If prompted, allow custom app development.
3. Click Create an app and name it OverSerp.

Step 2: Set the API scopes

Open Configuration → Admin API integration and enable:

• read_content
• write_content

Save.

Step 3: Install the app and copy the token

Click Install app, then reveal the Admin API access token and copy it. Shopify shows it only once.

Step 4: Find your blog ID

Go to Online Store → Blog posts → Manage blogs and open the blog you want to publish to. The number at the end of the URL is the blog ID, for example .../blogs/91234567890.

Step 5: Connect in OverSerp

1. Open your site → Integrations → Shopify.
2. Enter your store URL (https://yourstore.myshopify.com), the access token and the blog ID.
3. Choose Publish (visible) or Draft (hidden).
4. Save and run the test.

What gets published

Linking to products

Add your best collection and product URLs to the site's house rules, for example “Link to /collections/running-shoes when discussing shoes”. OverSerp also uses pages found in your sitemap for internal links.

Troubleshooting

“Blog ID is required” or 404: double-check the blog ID and that the token belongs to the same store.

403 / missing scope: add write_content and reinstall the app so the new scope applies.

Published URL looks wrong: links are built as /blogs/news/handle. If your blog handle isn't news, the article is still published correctly; only the stored link differs.
