Paperboy for Shopify
Paperboy has no Shopify connector, so it runs your blog on a subdomain you point at it with one DNS record. The first article is free.
Hosted blogHosted blog on a subdomain, or a webhook you connect
Short answer as of October 29, 2026
Not directly: as of October 29, 2026, Paperboy has no Shopify connector, so it publishes to a hosted blog on a subdomain of your store's domain, such as blog.yourstore.com. Shopify documents an Article resource for creating blog posts through its Admin API, so a relay you build could carry Paperboy's webhook into your store's own blog.
Set up
How it connects: Hosted blog on a subdomain, or a webhook you connect.
Paste your site address into Paperboy and get the first article free. You read it before you pick a plan.
In the site's Publishing settings, choose "We host your blog" and type the address you want, such as blog.yourdomain.com.
Add the CNAME record Paperboy shows you. If Shopify manages your domain's DNS, add it in the domain's DNS settings in Shopify; if your registrar or Cloudflare does, add it there.
Press "Check my DNS record". When it passes, the blog is live on your address, with a sitemap and an RSS feed. Until then it sits at a Paperboy address.
In your Shopify theme's navigation menu, add a Blog link that points at the new address.
Type CNAME
Name blog (for blog.yourdomain.com)
Value the target Paperboy shows you
Then press "Check my DNS record" in Paperboy.Paperboy shows the exact values in your dashboard. Nothing here is a real key.
What you get
What lands on your site, every time an article passes its fact check.
The article body as HTML: an H2 and H3 outline, tables or numbered steps where they make the answer easier to scan, and inline links to the sources it cites.
Server-rendered pages on your own subdomain, with a canonical address, a sitemap.xml and an rss.xml at the blog's root.
Your brand color and logo, read from your site when Paperboy scanned it. Article pages carry a link back to your main site.
A short FAQ of three to six questions, written into the page, plus Article and FAQPage JSON-LD.
Two to four links to your own pages (picked from the pages Paperboy read on your site) and one call to action link to the address you chose.
No images inside the article body today. The hosted blog adds a 1200 by 630 share image for each article; other methods do not.
Nothing is written into your Shopify blog, products or theme.
Honest limits
What Paperboy does not do here, so there are no surprises after you sign up.
The posts live on a subdomain, not under /blogs/news in your store. Shopify's own blog and Paperboy's blog will be separate places.
Articles do not link to your products on their own. Paperboy links to pages it read on your site and to one call to action address you choose, so set that to a collection or product page.
Paperboy does not call Shopify. To land posts in your Shopify blog you would build a relay that checks the webhook signature and creates an article through Shopify's Admin API. We have not built or tested one.
Cart, checkout and theme code do not exist on the hosted blog.
