Shopify Integration guide

Turn Shopify product images into a SiteSeam Reel

Follow the complete workflow—from preparing a Shopify product gallery through authorizing the connection, importing approved images, and reviewing the finished Reel.

10 documented steps

Confirmation screens are called out explicitly. SiteSeam copies only the product images you approve and does not change the Shopify store or catalog.

  1. 01

    In Shopify

    Create the product in your Shopify catalog

    Create or open the product in the intended Shopify store. Use a clear title, description, and SKU so it is easy to identify from SiteSeam.

    Confirmation

    Confirmation screen

    Verify that Shopify is connected

    SiteSeam confirms the connection and marks Shopify as connected. If access needs attention later, the same card guides an owner or admin through reconnecting.
