Getting Started

Installing Mashup

Mashup is distributed through the Shopify App Store. To install it, search for "Mashup" in the App Store or visit our listing directly from mashupai.io, then click Add app. Shopify will ask you to confirm the permissions Mashup needs (read and write access to themes, products, files, and a few related scopes — we explain why each is needed under Privacy and Data). Once you approve, Mashup will appear in your Shopify admin under the Apps menu.

Installation typically completes in under thirty seconds. There is no separate signup, no second password to remember, and no card on file until you choose a paid plan. Every new shop begins with a seven-day free trial of the Pro plan, which is enough credit to build and publish several full product pages while you decide whether Mashup is the right tool for your store.

Opening Mashup for the First Time

After installation, click Apps in your Shopify admin sidebar, then click Mashup. The app opens inside the Shopify admin frame — you stay logged in to Shopify, and Mashup inherits your store context. Nothing happens in a separate browser tab, and you never need to copy and paste API tokens.

The first screen you see is the Dashboard. We cover it in detail in the next section.

Setup Guide

At the top of the Dashboard, the Setup Guide card walks you through the small handful of one-time configuration steps that make Mashup work properly with your specific store. These are:

1. Confirm your store language. Mashup uses this to choose the right alphabet and writing direction for generated copy. If your customers read in Hebrew or Arabic, switching this here is what enables right-to-left layout across every template.
2. Pick a default Shopify theme. This is the theme Mashup will publish pages to by default. You can override it on every individual publish, but setting a default saves a click each time.
3. Pick a default product source. If most of your products come from one source — your own catalog, or Amazon, or AliExpress — pick it once here and Mashup will pre-select it on each new build.
4. Optional: install the Mashup storefront block. This is a small Shopify theme block we use to render the pages we generate. It is installed automatically the first time you publish, so most merchants never have to touch this step manually.

The Setup Guide collapses once you complete every step. You can reopen it any time from the gear icon in the Dashboard header.

Your First Page

Once setup is complete, click Build AI pages to open the AI Page Builder. The flow is:

1. Pick a language and writing direction.
2. Pick a product source (Shopify, Amazon, AliExpress, or custom URL).
3. Paste a link or browse your Shopify catalog.
4. Wait about ten seconds while Mashup imports the product.
5. Choose a template from the grid.
6. Tag a few images so Mashup knows which ones are hero shots, which are user-generated content, and which are review screenshots.
7. Review the generated page in the Design Studio. Pick a palette. Tweak any text you want to change.
8. Pick a Shopify theme to publish to.
9. Click Publish.

The whole loop typically takes between four and ten minutes for your first page, and two to four minutes once you have done it a few times. You can build a page and decide not to publish — drafts are saved to My Pages so you can come back later.
