When connecting your assistant to your online store as the first step in creating your assistant, you can choose from several different platforms. This page will walk you through the process of connecting your assistant to each of the supported platforms.
Shopify
To connect your assistant to your Shopify store, choose the Shopify integration type in the first step of the creation wizard. You will then be asked to provide your Shopify shop URL. This is the shop URL of your Shopify store. It should look something like your-shop-name.myshopify.com
. Do not include the https://
part of the URL. There are a few ways to find your Shopify store URL. One way is to go to your Shopify store admin and look at the browser address bar. It should show your default Shopify domain in the format your-shop-name.myshopify.com. Another way is to view the page source code of your online store and look for a meta tag with property=“og:url”. The content attribute of this tag will show your store URL. Please note that this is not necessarily the URL that your store is hosted at.
Once you provided your Shopify shop URL, click the "Install" button. This will take you to a new window where you will be asked to authorize Monoloq to access your Shopify store. Click the "Install app" button to authorize Monoloq.
