Publish reviewed articles to a Shopify blog

Prerender Buddy delivers reviewed articles to the Shopify blog you select. It supports unpublished article drafts and explicitly confirmed publication.

This connection handles blog articles. It does not edit products, collections, checkout or theme files. It uses a configured store Admin API token; a managed one-click PB OAuth app installation is not part of this connection.

Use the store's original myshopify.com domain, such as garden-journal.myshopify.com. The connection form uses that domain even when the storefront has a custom domain.

Provide a store Admin API access token with the blog-writing access accepted by PB: write_content or write_online_store_pages. The token must be able to read the available blogs and write articles. An app client secret is not a store access token.

Use Shopify's current access-token guidance for your app and store setup. Its article API reference describes the article write permissions. Token issuance and expiry depend on the Shopify app's authentication method; renew access and check the connection when needed.

Create the destination blog in Shopify first if it does not exist.

1. Open your website in PB Sites, open Publishing and select Shopify.
2. Enter the store domain and Admin API access token.
3. Choose Load Shopify blogs and select the intended blog.
4. Enter the article author name to display.
5. Choose Save destination and Check connection.

Review the selected blog before saving. This becomes the website's publishing destination and replaces any other active destination for that PB website. Keep the token private.

Open a full article from Article Generation. Check its facts, product claims, links and fit with your store before approving it.

Sending a CMS draft creates or updates an unpublished Shopify article. Explicitly confirmed publication makes the approved article public in the configured blog.

PB adds a stable article identifier to the generated handle. Check the article's actual public URL, including any redirect from the original store domain to the custom domain.

For a later release, use a separately confirmed PB publication schedule. Setting an editorial calendar date alone does not publish.

Shopify does not provide a staged draft version of an already published article through this PB connection. PB therefore blocks a draft delivery that would change or unpublish a live article.

Review and reapprove the changed article, then confirm publication to update it. Check any uncertain previous delivery in Shopify before starting a new one.

If blog discovery fails, verify the original store domain, token validity and granted blog permissions. Confirm that the selected blog belongs to the same store.

A successful connection check establishes access, not that the article is live. If the API reports publication but the storefront differs, inspect the article's published state, the blog template and the final redirected URL.

Disconnecting PB does not delete Shopify articles. Revoke or replace the app's store access separately when required.
