Install llms.txt on Shopify

Shopify won't let you upload a plain text file directly to the store root, but there are two reliable workarounds.

Before you start

You'll need:

The llms.txt file from our checker.

Admin access to your Shopify store.

From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
On your live theme, click Actions → Edit code.
Under Templates, click Add a new template.
Choose template type page, format liquid, name it llms.txt.
Paste the llms.txt content into the new file. Remove all Liquid template tags so only plain text remains.
Save. Visit https://yourstore.myshopify.com/pages/llms.txt to confirm. Note: Shopify serves it at /pages/llms.txt, not /llms.txt.

Go to Content → Files in your Shopify admin.
Upload your llms.txt file.
Copy the public URL Shopify generates.
Important: this URL will be on Shopify's CDN, not your store root. AI crawlers may not find it. Method 1 is preferred.

Root path limitation: Shopify does not allow files at the literal store root. /pages/llms.txt is the closest you can get on most plans.
Liquid tags in content: If you paste content with curly braces, Shopify will try to parse them as Liquid. Strip any {{ }} or {% %} patterns.
