Learn how to set up the Shopify integration for live selling on Maestro.
important update regarding our Shopify integration:
Shopify recently made dramatic changes to their API that remove support for the frictionless purchase flow that we at Maestro had built. We have been in touch with the Shopify team to try and work on a solution that allows us to keep our integration in place, however it is not something they are willing to do.
Due to this, our Shopify integration will be disabled until we come up with an alternative solution that works within these new parameters Shopify has put in place. While we do not have an exact timeline in place, we are hoping to have Shopify back up and running in the fall.
We’ll keep our information updated as we make progress and will provide a timeline for restoration as soon as we can. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance with a workaround, don’t hesitate to reach out.
The Maestro Live Shopping app from Shopify allows you to sell your products to viewers in-stream by seamlessly integrating your existing store as a panel.
You can highlight a specific product or collection so viewers can complete their purchase without ever leaving the stream.
Here's how it works.
1. Get the Maestro App on Shopify
Start the installation process by adding the Maestro App to your Shopify Store.
Please note that you will need to be a Shopify admin to complete this step.
2. Follow the Installation Process
Input the required information as prompted. When asked for your Maestro URL, be sure to use the following format:
https://maestro.tv/yoursite
Please note that this is not your live URL.
3. Log into Maestro When Prompted
Once the URL is input, you will be redirected to your Maestro page to log in. Make sure you log in as an admin.
4. Confirm the Connection
Click "Yes" on the confirmation dialogue to connect your store to the Maestro site. You will be taken back to Shopify to confirm the installation, where you will accept a $0 recurring subscription.
5. Add the Shopify Panel, Block, or utilize Overlays!
With the integration setup, you can now navigate to "Panels > Catalog > Shopify" to add your Shopify store to your Maestro site.
You can also add the Shopify Block via the Editor on any Page on your Maestro site.
We also have a Shopify overlay, where you can fly a specific product over the video feed where users can buy the product directly.
Once the integration is complete, you can visit the Shopify Panel or Block within Maestro to configure which Product or Collection is actively featured.
Note: To configure which products are available for use on Maestro, make sure they are "Available on Maestro Shoppable Livestreams." This is known as a "Sales Channel" within Shopify.
Additional Information
- Maestro takes a 5% cut of the net transactions from live commerce sales
- You can only have one Shopify store connected to your site at once
