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 SHOPLINE 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.

1

Confirm the store and open the installation page

Sign in to your SHOPLINE admin and confirm which store you want to connect. Open the SHOPLINE App Store link above, or search for Meowgic in your platform’s App Store.
2

Install Meowgic

Click Install. 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 SHOPLINE 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 SHOPLINE 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 SHOPLINE 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, then select Install to your store.
Choose SHOPLINE as the target platform to start the integration flow.

Choose an integration method

You can integrate your app in two ways:
  • Automatic integration: If your Meowgic account is already connected to your SHOPLINE store, you can pick a target theme and let Meowgic complete the app theme integration.
  • Manual integration: Download your theme file from SHOPLINE and upload it to Meowgic. Meowgic AI applies the integration, and you then download the updated theme file and upload it back to SHOPLINE.

Automatic integration

Choose a store that is already linked to your account.
Select the theme you want to update in that store.
Right now, you can only edit draft themes. Direct updates to live themes are not supported.
After the integration finishes, click Edit theme to open the SHOPLINE theme editor directly.
When you open the page template linked to this app, the Meowgic app is already embedded by default. Select it to enable it and start configuring.

Manual integration

On the integration page, you can view the current app version and target platform. You can also switch versions to review their integration history.
Go to your SHOPLINE admin and download your store theme file.
Upload the theme file, then click Start to begin integration.
Meowgic AI analyzes your theme file and embeds the app for you. When integration is complete, it generates an updated theme file. Click Download theme file to save it.
Return to SHOPLINE and upload the updated theme file.
After the upload finishes, click Edit theme, then locate the page template tied to the app you created.
When you create or edit an app, Meowgic AI uses both your conversation context and app details to decide the best placement in your theme. For example, if you asked to place a countdown app in the product info area, it will only appear in product page templates.
Once you open the app’s template, the Meowgic app is already embedded by default. Select it to enable it and start configuration.
After configuration, preview the theme using the checklist below. Confirm that the feature and existing store functions work before saving and publishing the theme. Back on the Meowgic integration page, you can review all integration runs and related change records for the current app version.

Preview, test, and publish the theme

Check the following in the SHOPLINE 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 run into issues while configuring your Meowgic app in SHOPLINE, or want further adjustments, describe what you need directly on the integration page. Meowgic AI can apply the changes automatically. You usually only need to return to the app editor when the app’s admin settings or core behavior changes significantly.
  • If your app covers product-related scenarios, such as color options, product customization, or gift features, the system integrates based on the requirements you defined during app creation. After integration, you can keep refining behavior with Meowgic AI, such as attaching custom parameters on add-to-cart or adjusting cart styles and interactions.
  • You can also use Meowgic AI to design your theme.
  • Explore more features and use cases as your store evolves.

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.
