Connect your Shopify store

Install BlogTend from the Shopify App Store and it is ready to write — no sign-up. Every finished article lands under Content, Blog posts on your store, draft or live, and is refreshed in place next time.

Available on theShopify App Store

Before you start

A Shopify store, and you are signed in as the store owner or a staff account that can install apps.
A blog on your store to publish to — Shopify creates one named News by default, or you can add your own under Online Store, then Blog posts.

Installing from the Shopify App Store

Find BlogTend on the Shopify App Store and select Install.
Shopify asks you to approve the permissions BlogTend needs: reading and writing blog content, and reading and writing files for the images it uploads.
BlogTend opens inside your Shopify admin, already connected. Your BlogTend account is created from the store owner's email, and an email follows with a link to set a password for the full dashboard.
Optionally, choose a different blog or author name under Blog & author. Articles go to your first blog until you do.
Already use BlogTend with another email? Select Move this store to your account at the bottom of the page and sign in.

Writing an article

Write from the embedded page inside Shopify admin for a single article, or open the full BlogTend dashboard for automations, bulk generation and internal linking — both write to the same store.

Drafts vs live

Send an article as a draft and it appears unpublished under Content, Blog posts — read it, edit it and publish it whenever you like. Send it live and it publishes immediately.

Refresh in place

A refresh rewrites the same blog post — same URL, no duplicate — so the page keeps its history instead of competing with a copy of itself.

Plans and billing

An account created from inside Shopify is billed and managed on your Shopify pricing page — payment method, plan changes and cancellation all happen there. An account that already had a blogtend.com subscription before installing keeps that subscription unchanged.

Disconnect and uninstall

Removing the site from BlogTend's Sites page stops publishing and forgets the credential, but the app stays installed in Shopify. To fully remove BlogTend, uninstall the app from your Shopify admin — that also revokes its access immediately.

Questions

Does BlogTend see my orders or customers?

No. The Shopify app only asks for permission to read and write blog content and files. It never requests access to your orders, customers or products.

Where do the articles show up?

As posts on the blog you chose, under Content, then Blog posts, in your Shopify admin. They use whichever theme template your storefront already uses for blog posts.

Can I write from inside Shopify, or do I need the full BlogTend dashboard?

Either. The embedded page inside Shopify admin covers writing and publishing one article at a time. The full BlogTend dashboard adds automations, bulk generation and internal linking.

I already had a BlogTend account. What happens if I install the Shopify app?

If the store owner's email is the one on your BlogTend account, BlogTend asks you to sign in once and adds the store to that account. If it is a different email, the store starts on a new account of its own — select Move this store to your account at the bottom of BlogTend's page in Shopify, sign in, and the store joins your existing plan, articles and sites.

What happens to my plan if I installed from Shopify?

It is billed and managed on your Shopify pricing page, not on blogtend.com. If you were already a blogtend.com subscriber before installing, that subscription keeps working as it always has.

I uninstalled the app in Shopify. What happens?

Publishing stops immediately and the access token is deleted. Nothing already published to your blog is removed. Installing the app again picks up where you left off, on the same account.
