Connecting Shopify

What you'll need

• A Shopify store you can admin.
• An existing blog (Online Store → Blog posts → Manage blogs).

Step 1 — Create a custom app

1. In Shopify Admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps.
2. Click Create an app. Name it "AI Domination."
3. Under Configuration → Admin API integration, request these scopes:
   • write_content (create blog posts)
   • read_content (verify connection)
4. Install the app in your store.
5. Copy the Admin API access token.

Step 2 — Find your blog ID

In the Shopify Admin URL bar, open the blog you want posts to land in. The ID is the number in the URL: /admin/blogs/{BLOG_ID}.

Step 3 — Connect in AI Domination

1. Settings → Integrations → Shopify.
2. Paste store domain (yourstore.myshopify.com), admin API token, and blog ID.
3. Click Test connection.

Notes

• Custom-app tokens don't expire — but if you uninstall the app in Shopify, the integration breaks. Re-install and rotate the token.
• The token is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
