Set a default author name for published articles.

​
Publishing Articles

​
Manual Sync

  1. Open the article in Sight AI
  2. Click “Sync to CMS”
  3. Select Shopify as the target
  4. Choose the blog (if you have multiple)
  5. Confirm and publish

​
Autopilot Publishing

When Autopilot is enabled, articles automatically publish to your selected Shopify blog.

​
What Gets Synced

  • Title — Blog post title
  • Content — Full HTML content
  • Featured Image — Main post image
  • In-Body Images — Images within content
  • Summary/Excerpt — Post excerpt
  • Handle — SEO-friendly URL slug
  • Author — Post author name
  • Tags — If configured

​
SEO Features

Shopify articles synced from Sight AI include:
  • SEO-optimized title
  • Meta description (from summary)
  • Clean URL handle
  • Proper heading structure
  • Optimized images with alt text

​
Active CMS

Sight AI supports only one active CMS integration per site at a time. When you connect Shopify and set it as your active CMS, articles are published to your Shopify blog instead of any previously active CMS. You can switch to a different CMS at any time from the Integrations hub — your Shopify configuration and previously published posts are preserved.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Connection Failed

  • Verify your store URL format (store-name.myshopify.com)
  • Check that the API token has correct permissions
  • Ensure the custom app is installed
  • Try regenerating the API token

​
Articles Not Appearing

  • Check the publish status (may be set to Hidden)
  • Verify the correct blog is selected
  • Look in Online Store > Blog posts in Shopify admin

​
Images Not Showing

  • Check that your Shopify plan supports file uploads
  • Verify image file sizes are within limits
  • Try re-syncing the article

​
Disconnecting

To disconnect Shopify:
  1. Go to Integrations
  2. Click Shopify
  3. Click “Disconnect”
Previously published blog posts remain on your Shopify store.
