First, find Miappi on the Shopify app store and click download app, then review the permissions required in order to enable the app to work before clicking Install app. A Miappi Profile will then be set-up using your Shopify credentials.

Once you have registered an account with Miappi, you will be taken to the Miappi Dashboard, the place where you will make your UGC shoppable.

Note: By installing the Miappi App, products in your Shopify store will automatically be imported into your Miappi dashboard, making it easy to match to your inventory

If you haven't done so already, book a time with a product manager at Miappi who will provide you with a product demo and work with you to agree the best license for your particular use case.

In the event that you already have a Miappi profile set up, to begin connecting your profile to your existing Shopify account you will need to:

1. Navigate to the Monetize tab in the left-hand menu.

2. Click on Platforms in the navigation menu at the top of the page.

3. Select the Shopify platform.

4. Insert your official domain name for your Shopify account (As a note, this should look like xxxxxx.myshopify.com).

​Getting your Miappi Profile ready

If you haven't already done it as part of your sign-up, you will need to authenticate one or more social media feeds in order to start collecting images and videos from social media. That process happens on the Curate/Feeds page.

​
​

Every time you match a piece of UGC to one or more of your products, that content will be displayed automatically in the corresponding Miappi gallery.
​
If preferred, you can make use of Miappi’s Folder feature to display manually curated UGC galleries instead.

5. Tag your product with “Miappi-folder-” followed by the folder number, to display that folder of UGC
​
​

Please note, this will only work if this is the only Miappi tag selected on that product page. For example, including “Miappi” and “Miappi-folder-3306” will cause the gallery not to show.
