Prerequisites
- A Shopify store (any plan)

By default, Shopify does not allow Custom Apps. You need to enable this setting first.
- In your Shopify Admin, go to Settings (bottom-left gear icon).
- Click Apps and sales channels.
- Click Develop apps (top right).
- If prompted, click "Allow custom app development" and confirm.
Step 2: Create a Custom App
- On the App development page, click "Create an app".
- Enter the app name:
LLMSight - Select the app developer (your account).
- Click "Create app".
Step 3: Configure API scopes
- After creating the app, click the "Configure Admin API scopes" tab.
- Search for and enable these scopes:
write_content(allows creating and updating blog articles)read_content(allows reading blogs and articles)
- Click "Save".
Step 4: Install the app and copy the token
- Click the "Install app" button and confirm the installation.
- After installation, you will see the Admin API access token. Click "Reveal token once".
- Copy this token immediately. Shopify will only show it once. If you lose it, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the app.
shpat_. Store it somewhere safe. You will paste it into LLMSight in the next step. Step 5: Connect Shopify in LLMSight
- In LLMSight, go to Connectors from the sidebar.
- In the CMS Connectors section, click Connect next to Shopify.
- Fill in:
- Store Domain: Your Shopify domain, e.g.
yourstore.myshopify.com - Admin API Access Token: The
shpat_token you copied in Step 4
- Store Domain: Your Shopify domain, e.g.
- Click "Connect". LLMSight will verify access to your store.
Once connected, you can publish content from the Content Hub. Articles will appear in your default Shopify blog (usually "News").
Troubleshooting
"Connection test failed"
Make sure you are using the myshopify.com domain, not a custom domain. The Store Domain field should be something like yourstore.myshopify.com, not yourstore.com.
"403 Forbidden"
The API token does not have the required scopes. Go back to your Custom App in Shopify Admin, check that write_content and read_content scopes are enabled, save, then reinstall the app to get a new token.
Articles appear in the wrong blog
By default, LLMSight publishes to the first blog on your Shopify store (usually "News"). If you want to publish to a different blog, you can manage blog categories from the Content Hub publish options.
