To connect Uhuu with Shopify, start by setting up your product personalization front-end. Once ready, you can notify the Uhuu Store API of any personalized products ordered.

The process will essentially look like this:

Create your uhuu template and prepare product personalization
Add Uhuu product personalization to your Shopify front-end
Add Shopify webhooks to inform uhuu store api on new personalized product orders

Shopify Front-End Setup

Connect Uhuu with Shopify using Liquid templates to offer personalized products.

Add "Custom Liquid" section to Shopify product's template.

Copy Uhuu personalize code to your custom liquid section

<form method="post" action="/cart/add"><input name="id" value="{{ product.variants.first.id }}" type="hidden" /><input id="uhuu_session_id" type="hidden" name="properties[Personalize ID]"/></form>
<script src="https://uhuuio.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/[uhuu-project]/connections/shopify/handshake.js"></script>
<embed src="https://[uhuu-project].vercel.app/de/shopify/my-friends-ocean?variantId={{ product.variants.first.id }}" width="100%" height="1200"/>

Once completed, the Uhuu Personalizer will be connected to the Shopify cart, adding a personalized ID property to each item.

Uhuu Personalize code on your custom liquid section.
