Connecting your Shopify and Canva accounts

Updated this week

The Shopify Connect for Canva app requires installing an app in both your Shopify and Canva accounts.


Connect your Shopify store to Canva

  1. Start by installing the Canva Connect app in Shopify.

  2. Copy the unique authorization code provided to you in the Canva Connect app in Shopify.

    1. This code is unique per user. If multiple people have access to the Shopify account, each user will receive their own authorization code.

  3. Click Install Shopify Connect app, then select either Use an existing design or Create new design.

    1. This will bring you into the Canva Design Studio, where you can access the Shopify Connect app.

    2. The Shopify Connect interface will automatically open after entering the Design Studio.

  4. Click Open, and follow the prompts until you can Paste your authorization code and click Connect to link your accounts.

  5. The account sync will begin, linking your Product, Collection, and Files images from Shopify into the Canva app.

Now that your accounts are linked, you can search for your products and collections within Canva. You can easily drag your titles, images, and videos into your Canva designs. Additionally, you have the option to publish your new designs back to your Shopify products, collections, or files.

Note:

If you've connected your Shopify and Canva accounts before March 12th, 2026, the connection status may appear as Not connected.

This status shows your usage of your personal authorization code. If you are using the legacy shared code, your connection will stay active, but you can reconnect to update your status.
