Rank Prompt writes articles to one blog of your Shopify store through an app of your own store. Each article carries its search engine listing (SEO title and meta description), summary, tags, author name, featured image and structured data. A changed URL handle keeps a redirect from the old address.
You can publish now, schedule a date, save a hidden draft, update a published article and remove it.
A Shopify store with a blog (Shopify creates News by default)
Access to the store's Dev Dashboard, to create an app
A Rank Prompt plan with publishing (Starter or higher), and the owner of the brand
In the store's Dev Dashboard, create an app, give its version the write_content scope, release it and install it on the store.
In the app's Settings, copy the Client ID and the Client secret.
In Rank Prompt, open Integrations > Publish Content. In the More platforms card, click Shopify, or + (Connect a platform), pick Shopify and click Continue.
Enter the store's myshopify.com address (Shopify shows it under Settings > Domains), the client ID and the secret, and click Continue.
Choose the Blog and the Author name, then click Connect.
If the online store is password protected, the form says so: articles publish, but nobody can read them, search engines included, until the password is removed (Online Store > Preferences).
Open an article, click More actions (the three dots) and Publish. Pick Your Shopify and choose Publish, a date under Schedule, or Save as draft.
