# How to connect Shopify to Koala AI

**At this time, our Shopify integration is not available for new users due to the changes on Shopify's side. However, you can click Export > Copy then simply paste it into Shopify. We understand it takes a few extra clicks and we're sorry about the inconvenience.**

**Our development team is looking into how we can make this easier for new users.**
