Paste one Access Token — your store blog fills itself.
A Shoplazza store has native Blogs and Articles, and DraftSEO writes to them over the Open API. You create a private app inside your own store admin, tick its permissions and paste the Access Token it hands back — no marketplace listing and no approval to wait for. Each article lands in the blog you picked and is served from your own website at /blog/your-article-handle. One note before you create the app: Shoplazza cannot change an app’s permissions afterwards, so tick them all while you are there.
| Connection | Private-app Access Token — Store Admin → Apps → Manage Private Apps → Create App |
|---|---|
| Permissions | Pages / Blogs / Articles + Products, read and write — set at creation; Shoplazza cannot add one later |
| Article address | /blog/{article-handle} — on your own website; singular “blog”, no blog name in the path |
| Image hosting | Shoplazza’s own CDN — Shoplazza fetches each picture itself; nothing hot-linked |
| Publish modes | Auto · draft · scheduled |
Who does what
Nothing — once the token is pasted, articles appear in your store’s blog and your storefront serves them. Prefer to read first? Send them as drafts and press publish in your store admin.
Your store keeps the pictures, so no outside link can break them.
Setup
In your store admin open Apps → Manage Private Apps → Create App, and give it a name and a developer email.
~1 minute
Set Pages / Blogs / Articles to read and write, and Products to read and write. The first is what lets DraftSEO write articles; the second is what lets your store take over hosting the images. Shoplazza cannot change an app’s permissions after the app is created, so an app missing one has to be replaced by a new app.
~1 minute
Connect a site → Shoplazza → paste the Access Token and your store address, the one ending in .myshoplaza.com — one z, even though the brand name has two.
~1 minute
Choose which blog articles go into, or let DraftSEO create one for you, then type the address your store is reachable at. Type it carefully: it is what every article link uses, and it is the website this connection counts as, so it cannot be changed later without reconnecting the store.

FAQ
One private app. In Store Admin open Apps → Manage Private Apps → Create App, give it Pages / Blogs / Articles set to read and write and Products set to read and write, then copy the Access Token it generates. Tick both while you are there: Shoplazza cannot change an app’s permissions once it exists, so an app missing one has to be replaced with a new app.
The one ending in .myshoplaza.com — a single z in shoplaza, even though the brand name is spelled with two. That is the address DraftSEO uses to reach the API. Your own website address is a separate field, and that one is what your article links are built on.
On Shoplazza’s CDN. DraftSEO gives Shoplazza a link to each picture, Shoplazza fetches it and serves it from then on, so a published article points only at your store. Worth knowing where that is: Shoplazza is a China-based company, based in Shenzhen, so images uploaded to a Shoplazza store are stored and served by a Chinese vendor’s CDN.
yourwebsite.com/blog/your-article-handle — singular “blog”, with no blog name in the path. The plural form, /blogs/a-blog-handle, is a blog’s own index page rather than an article.
The same article is updated, so its address never changes. If the article belongs to several blogs it stays in all of them, and the publish date, the author and anything else your team set are kept exactly as they are.
Shoplazza allows 100 characters in an article title and 255 in the excerpt. DraftSEO shortens anything longer instead of letting the publish fail, so a long headline never costs you the article. Your store needs no blog beforehand either — DraftSEO creates one if there is none.
No card required. Images re-hosted on your store’s CDN.
