How do I connect Shopify to Mindstamp?
Ask us. Mindstamp connects your store on request, and Shopify has no card on the Integrations page. Contact us with your store’s myshopify.com address, then give an interaction the Add to Cart click action. See how the Shopify integration works for each step.
Which Mindstamp plan includes Shopify?
Every plan includes Shopify, set up on request. Mindstamp quotes extra stores per account. See pricing.
Do viewers need to give an email to buy?
No. Add to Cart needs no viewer name or email in Mindstamp. Viewers finish the purchase in Shopify’s checkout, which opens in a new window.
Does Shopify send orders back to Mindstamp?
No. Shopify sends no order or purchase data to Mindstamp. Each cart that Mindstamp creates carries three attributes: Mindstamp Video, Mindstamp Play ID, and Mindstamp Interaction ID. Mindstamp also saves the checkout link in the {{checkout_url}} variable.
Which Shopify plan do I need?
Shopify’s pricing page lists headless storefronts on Basic, Grow, and Advanced (one each) and on Plus (25). If you create a Storefront API token yourself, Shopify issues it through its Headless channel. We found no clear Shopify statement for the Starter plan, so name your plan when you contact us. Mindstamp builds carts through the Storefront API and checks your store during setup.
Does Shopify have shoppable video built in?
Not that we could find in Shopify’s documents. Product pages can show a video, and embedded videos must come from YouTube or Vimeo. Mindstamp puts a Shopify cart inside an interactive video that can also ask questions and branch. See shoppable video for ways to use it.
