Everything included in the Shopify integration

A complete, native integration — not a workaround or manual export.

One-Click OAuth Connection

No API keys to copy or manage. Connect your Shopify store securely via OAuth 2.0 in under 60 seconds. Works on all Shopify plans including Shopify Plus.

Minimum Permission Scopes

We only request read_products and write_products scopes. Your customer data, orders, financial information, and payments are never accessible.

Real-Time Sync to Shopify

Approved alt-text changes sync directly back to your Shopify product images via the Admin API. Changes go live on your storefront in seconds — no manual steps.

All Product & Image Types

Supports all Shopify product types including simple products, variants, and collections. Processes main images, gallery images, and variant-specific images.

Multi-Store Management

Connect and manage multiple Shopify stores from a single AltiSeo dashboard. Perfect for agencies managing client stores or brands with multiple storefronts.

SEO Health Score per Store

Track alt-text coverage and SEO performance independently for each connected store. See which stores need attention and prioritize your optimization efforts.

What Shopify merchants say

We had 8,000 products with zero alt-text. AltiSeo processed everything overnight. We started ranking for image searches we'd never appeared in before. Revenue from organic image traffic is up 34%.

MR
Marcus Rodriguez
Shopify Plus Merchant

I was skeptical about the quality of AI-generated alt-text, but AltiSeo genuinely impressed me. The descriptions are better than what our copywriter was producing — and 100x faster.

Shopify integration FAQ

Does AltiSeo work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. AltiSeo works with all Shopify plans: Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Shopify Plus. The OAuth integration and API access are the same across all plans.
What images does AltiSeo process?
AltiSeo processes all product images accessible via the Shopify Admin API — including main product images, gallery images, and variant-specific images. Collection images are not currently included.
How does the sync work exactly?
When you click 'Apply' in AltiSeo, we call the Shopify Product Images API to update the alt attribute for each image. Changes are reflected on your storefront within seconds of the API call.
Can I disconnect my store?
Yes. You can disconnect any store from AltiSeo Settings → Stores at any time. This revokes our access token and deletes your encrypted credentials from our servers.
Will applying alt-text affect my Shopify store's performance?
No. Alt-text updates are metadata changes and don't affect page speed, image loading, or any other performance metrics. Changes go live immediately but are invisible to store visitors.
Do you support multi-store or multiple storefronts?
Yes. You can connect up to 10 Shopify stores on the Agency plan. Each store is scanned and managed independently. Pro plan allows up to 3 stores.
