Shopify + Medium, set up for you
Shopify Medium Integration, Wired the Way Your Team Works
A Shopify Medium integration works in one direction today. Medium closed its API to new integrations, so Hyve's Post to Medium only works with a token issued before 2025. PugSync imports Medium posts into your Shopify blog with images hosted and auto-sync, and embeds only display posts. We check your token, set canonical URLs and test, from $390.
- Direction chosen: import to Shopify, or post to Medium with an old token
- Canonical URLs set to the Shopify article
- Images and formatting checked after import
- Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record
Over 450 Stores Built Since 2015. Here Is What That Means for Your Medium Link.
A decade spent in hundreds of Shopify stores shows in small decisions: what to key each record to, when to retry, who wins a conflict. Those decisions make a website or content platform integration steady and dependable.

How We Wire Medium to Your Store, Step by Step
Think of the build as a short chain: event, check, write, log. Each link is tested on its own and again as a whole, with real orders, before we ask you to approve anything.

From First Call to Live Sync: Our Shopify Medium Integration Process
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Brief and scope
We ask what you sell, how Medium is used and which events matter. A short review of your orders and posts shows where the flow should start and what it must never do.
- 2
Access and connection
Access is narrow and approved by you, using an application key or a connected account. A live read proves the connection works before any build begins.
- 3
Map and rule
Title, tags, canonical link and status are matched across both tools, and we record who wins each conflict and how blanks are treated.
- 4
Build in a copy
A copy comes first: test data only, a visible plan and, where helpful, a recorded run.
- 5
Test on real cases
We run a new article, a launch and an approved draft, then refunds and edits, and verify each outcome against what the store shows.
- 6
Go live and hand over
On your approval the flow is switched on and monitored through its first runs, and you receive notes, a diagram and a quick video tour.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Medium Integration
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Secrets kept in a vault
Tokens and keys are stored in a secure vault, never pasted into notes or chat.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.
Nothing sent without approval
Every customer-facing message is reviewed with you first, then switched on.
Narrow access, in your name
Access is as narrow as possible, granted through an application key or a connected account, and every account remains yours.
Failures raise a flag
When a run fails, a named person is told which order and why. Silence is never taken as success.
Build in a copy, never live
The flow is built and tested against test data. Your live orders and posts are untouched until you approve.
Interactive price calculator
Choose Your Medium and Shopify Package
Start with the scope that matches your store, then adjust for volume, direction and history. You see the fixed price before you pay.
Request a custom quote
If your Medium setup depends on custom code, a private API, an on-premise system or more than one store, send us a short brief and we will quote it as a fixed-price project.

Experience since 2015

A direct line to the builder
Your messages reach the builder who has your flow open, so trigger and field questions get clear answers.
Tested on your real cases
Your real scenarios are the test plan: a new article, a launch and an approved draft.
We live inside Shopify
Daily work on orders, refunds and metafields gives us Shopify depth that Medium menus alone do not.
What we need to get started
Getting Started: What We Ask For
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
Already selling? Send the store address and accept the request we raise. You stay the owner, we see only what the role permits, and you can remove us at any time.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can start in our own Partner account, set up the store and the Medium link, then transfer ownership to you. A Shopify plan is chosen at the end.
Or share a staff login
If it is simpler, a staff login will do. We prefer the collaborator route because it is revocable in one click and no password changes hands.
Your Medium access
Set up the account and invite us, or have us create it under your email. You stay the owner either way, and access runs through an application key or a connected account.
Sample records
Two or three representative records from each side are enough. They show us the true shape of your data.
A decision-maker
Tell us who approves the plan and the test, and which rule should win when Medium and Shopify disagree.
We never need your owner password or payment details. Access is limited, logged and removable at any time.

FAQ
Medium Integration FAQs
Straight answers on price, scope, timing and what we need from you.
How much does Shopify Medium integration cost?
Single Workflow costs $390, Core Workflows $790 and Full Integration $1490. Order volume, data direction, existing Medium data and add-ons change the total, and the calculator shows it before you pay. Most projects land between about $390 and $2090, with delivery from 3 to 14 working days.
How long does the Medium integration take?
Single Workflow takes 3 to 5 working days, Core Workflows 5 to 9 and Full Integration 8 to 14. The usual variables are how much history you want loaded and how quickly you approve the test results. The Sooner and Fastest options shorten the schedule when a launch date is fixed.
Is there a native Medium integration?
No. Queries such as "shopify to medium sync" lead to the same build.
Can I post Shopify articles to Medium?
Only with a pre-2025 integration token. Related searches such as "pugsync hyve post to medium shopify", the answer is the same.
Can I import Medium posts?
Yes, with PugSync. You may also see it searched as "medium shopify"; the work is the same.
What about SEO?
Set the Shopify article as canonical. If you came here from "shopify medium banner size", the answer is the same.
Do embeds publish?
No, they only display. People also search for "shopify medium risk"; the work is the same.
What is the fallback?
Manual copy-paste or import. Related searches such as "shopify medium chargeback risk", you are in the right place.
Can you set it up?
Yes. People also search for "shopify medium image banner size"; the same build answers that too.
