Prerequisite You need a Shopify store on a Shopify theme (Online Store) and permission to install apps on it. Running a custom storefront on Hydrogen or another framework? Use the Shopify headless integration instead.

How to connect Shopify to Growi

The Growi Shopify app tracks the sales your campaign creators drive, creates their discount codes in your store, and can add a creator signup form to your site. Setup takes a few minutes and needs no code.

​
1. Install the Growi app

Install Growi: Creator Management from the Shopify App Store:

Growi on the Shopify App Store

Open the listing and click Install.
Shopify asks you to approve the app’s permissions. Growi reads orders, products, customers and discounts to attribute sales to creators and pay commission, and writes discounts so each campaign creator’s code exists in your store.
Already have a Growi account? Make sure the store URL saved on your Growi brand is your .myshopify.com domain (for example yourbrand.myshopify.com) before you install. Growi matches the install to your brand by that domain, or by the store’s primary domain. If neither matches, the install opens a separate Growi account.
After you approve, Shopify sends you to Growi, where you sign in or finish creating your account.

​
2. Turn on the Growi app embed

The app embed loads Growi’s tracking on your storefront. It records which creator sent each visitor and applies their discount code at checkout.
  1. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
  2. Next to your live theme, click Customize.
  3. In the left sidebar, open App embeds (the puzzle-piece icon).
  4. Turn on Growi App Embed and click Save.
Sales are only attributed while the app embed is on. If you change or duplicate your theme, turn it on again in the new theme.
Growi also adds a Shopify web pixel for checkout events. It is installed with the app and needs no setup.

​
3. Add the creator signup form (optional)

To let visitors apply to become creators from your store:
  1. In the theme editor, open the page where the form should appear.
  2. Click Add section (or Add block) and choose Affiliate Signup Form under Apps.
  3. Click Save.
Applications land in Growi under Creators → Applications.

​
4. Add creator storefronts (optional)

The Growi Creator Storefront block shows a creator’s picks on your store when a shopper arrives through their link. Add it the same way, from Add section → Apps in the theme editor.

​
5. Check that it works

  1. In Growi, open Stores → Shopify. The store shows as connected.
  2. Open a creator’s link from one of your campaigns in a private browser window.
  3. Place a test order with their code. It appears in Growi under the campaign’s sales within a few minutes.

​
Troubleshooting

The store’s .myshopify.com domain didn’t match the store URL saved on your existing brand. Save the .myshopify.com domain on your brand, then reinstall the app, or contact support to move the store over.
Check that Growi App Embed is on in your live theme (step 2), and that the order used the creator’s link or code.
Codes are created when a creator joins a campaign that uses discount codes. Make sure the app is still installed and its permissions were approved.
