Why connect your store first

We strongly recommend installing Meowgic before starting store-related work. Once connected, you can:
  • Use Task to review orders, products, and inventory, inspect your theme, and apply authorized changes after confirming what will change.
  • Use Apps to create store features, then follow the second part of this guide to integrate them into your theme.
For example, an operator can ask Task to analyze orders, while a personalized-product seller can create a product options Block and add it to a product page. You can start directly with Tools or use Task to plan from information you provide.

Install Meowgic and connect your store

Have your Shoplazza store account ready and confirm that you have permission to install apps. We recommend signing in to the Meowgic account you want to use before installation, so the store information syncs to that account. If the store is already connected, select it in Task without installing Meowgic again.

2

Install Meowgic

Click Add app, then click Install app on the installation page. Review the permissions listed on the installation page and follow its prompts to authorize and complete installation.
3

Check the account in the Meowgic tab that opens

After you complete installation in your store admin, the browser automatically opens a Meowgic tab. If you are already signed in to Meowgic, the store information syncs automatically to that account.If you are not signed in, sign in first, then check the store connection.
4

Confirm that the store is available

In Meowgic, click New task, describe the store information you want to read or analyze, and select the Shoplazza store where you installed Meowgic. Check that its name and platform are correct. To check the connection, you can ask Task to read information without changing store data.
When you can select the target Shoplazza store in Task, you can continue working with that store.
Installing Meowgic connects your store. It does not automatically add features you create to your theme. You do not need to create, publish, or integrate an app to use Task.

Choose what to do next

Start using Task

Ask your AI team to analyze or work on store tasks. If you only need Task, you can start here.

Integrate an app you created

Already created a storefront feature that shoppers should use? Continue with the theme integration guide below.

Integrate an app into your theme

The following steps apply when you have created an app and want to add a Section, Block, or similar feature to Shoplazza storefront pages. Dashboards and internal tools that run independently do not need to be added to a theme. Have the published app version and target theme ready. After editing an app, publish it again before integrating that version into your theme.
Integrate and test in a draft or duplicated theme first. For manual integration, keep the original theme file. Before uploading or publishing the updated theme, check that existing customizations are preserved.

Prepare your app

Open your app, click Publish in the upper-right corner, and select Install to your store.
Select Shoplazza as the target platform to begin the integration process.

Choose an integration method

Meowgic supports two integration methods:
  • Automatic integration: If your Meowgic account is connected to a Shoplazza store, you can select a target theme and let Meowgic complete the app theme integration.
  • Manual integration: Download your theme file from Shoplazza and upload it to Meowgic. Meowgic AI will integrate the app into the theme automatically. Once complete, download the updated theme file and import it back into your Shoplazza store.

Automatic integration

On the app integration page, select your connected Shoplazza store and target theme, then follow the prompts to complete integration. Open the associated page template in the Shoplazza theme editor, enable and configure the feature, then preview it using the checklist below. For manual integration, continue with the theme file workflow below.

Manual integration

On the integration page, you can view the current app version and target platform. You can also switch between versions to review their integration history.
Open your Shoplazza admin and download your store theme file.
Upload the theme file to Meowgic. Once the upload is complete, click Start to begin the integration.
Meowgic AI will analyze the theme files and embed your app in the appropriate location. Once the integration is complete, Meowgic will generate an updated theme package. Click Download theme file to save it.
Return to your Shoplazza store and upload the updated theme file.
After the theme file has been uploaded, click Edit theme, then open the page template associated with your app.
When you create or edit an app, Meowgic AI uses your conversation and app details to determine the most suitable location in the theme.For example, if you asked for a countdown timer to appear in the product information area, the app will only be available within product page templates.
After opening the relevant page template, the Meowgic app will already be embedded in the theme. Select the app to enable it and begin configuring its settings.
After configuration, preview the theme using the checklist below. Confirm that the feature and existing store functions work before saving and publishing the theme. Return to the Meowgic integration page to view all integrations and modification records associated with the current app version.

Preview, test, and publish the theme

Check the following in the Shoplazza theme editor and store preview:
  • The feature appears in the correct page template and location.
  • Settings, main interactions, and mobile layout work as intended.
  • Relevant flows, such as product options, image uploads, or add-to-cart, complete successfully.
  • Existing navigation, product displays, cart behavior, and customizations still work.
After these checks pass, save and publish the theme. Publishing a Meowgic app and publishing a store theme are separate actions.
Open the target storefront page and confirm that you can see and use the feature. This verifies that it is available to shoppers in that theme.

Update and manage

After editing an app, preview and publish it again. Check the published version, target store, and theme on the integration page, then complete integration for that version. Automatic integration uses the connected store and theme. Manual integration requires downloading and uploading the updated theme file, then checking and publishing it again. Do not treat the latest code in the editor as confirmation that your store is updated. Check the integration records and storefront behavior to confirm the intended version is active.

Continue adjusting the integration

  • If you encounter an issue while configuring the Meowgic app in your store, or need to make further adjustments, describe the issue or request directly to Meowgic AI from the integration page. Meowgic AI can update the integration for you. You only need to return to the main app editor when making major changes to the app’s admin system or core functionality.
  • If your app is related to products, such as color options, an online customizer, or gifting features, Meowgic will integrate it according to the requirements you provided while building the app. After the initial integration, you can continue asking Meowgic AI to add cart parameters, modify the cart design, or adjust its interaction logic.
  • You can also use Meowgic AI to customize and redesign your store theme.
  • Explore more features and integration possibilities as you continue building with Meowgic.

Troubleshooting

If Meowgic is installed in your platform admin but the store is unavailable in Task, check which store you installed it in and which account is used in the Meowgic tab that opened. If you were already signed in, the store information syncs to that account.Check that your platform admin shows Meowgic as installed. Avoid deleting or reinstalling the app as the first step. If the store remains unavailable, send support the platform, store name, and screenshots of the completed installation and current connection state. Do not send passwords or authorization tokens.
Check the target store, integrated version, theme, and page template. Confirm that the feature is enabled and that the theme is saved and published. Use the target theme’s preview, not only the Meowgic app preview.If the feature is still missing, send support the app version, integration records, target theme and page template, and a theme preview screenshot.
