Instant works by exchanging data with Shopify: importing product and collection data and exporting finished pages to Shopify's theme. Read more in our article on the connection between Instant and Shopify.
To enable Instant and Shopify to work together, you need to Install Instant's Shopify app and then create the connection between Instant and Shopify.
Install Instant's Shopify App
Note: If you have already installed Instant's Shopify app, you can continue with the steps under "Connect Instant to Shopify."
If you signed up for Instant through our website, you need to install the Shopify app before you're able to connect Shopify to your Instant site. To do this:
Go to the Builder and click Publish in the top right corner.
Click Connect. You will be redirected to Instant's app page in the Shopify app store.
Install Instant's Shopify app from the Shopify app store. You'll be redirected back to Instant.
Go to the site you want to connect with Shopify and follow the instructions below.
Connect Instant to Shopify
If you have the Instant app installed on Shopify, you only need to connect Instant and Shopify to each other:
Go to the Builder and click Publish in the top right corner.
Make sure that your Shopify ID is listed under "Connecting to:"
Click Connect.
And that's it! You can now publish your Instant pages to Shopify and display product/collection text and images from Shopify in Instant.
