How to add llms.txt on Shopify
To add llms.txt on Shopify, publish a plain text file at /llms.txt through your theme or a file-routing app, include a short site summary plus links to priority public pages, and verify it returns HTTP 200. Before publishing, make sure trusted AI crawlers can access your store through robots.txt and edge security rules. llms.txt is an orientation file, not a replacement for crawl access or quality content, and it does not guarantee AI citations.
Shopify setups often fail when security apps or Cloudflare rules block AI bots while llms.txt exists. Treat llms.txt as the second step after technical access is confirmed.
Add llms.txt on Shopify in five steps
- Prepare a short markdown file with title, one-line summary, and priority links.
- Publish the file at /llms.txt using your Shopify-compatible method.
- Open https://yourstore.com/llms.txt and confirm 200 status without auth.
- Check robots and edge rules so GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot are not blocked by policy.
- Update the file when pricing, product URLs, or key docs change.
You'll get an HTML report on /llms.txt reachability and AI crawler access on your store.
