Store settings
Each connected store has its own settings. Open the store, then click Store Settings in the store menu. Only owners and admins see it.
The header shows the store name, its platform and whether it is Connected. The page has eight tabs:
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| General | Store details, sector, publishing options, markets and the "Powered by Clione" line |
| Credentials | The platform keys Clione uses to read and write your store |
| Schema Injector | Installs the FAQ and agent-links script (BigCommerce) or checks the structured data on your storefront (Shopify) |
| Integrations | Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4 and product feeds |
| Widgets | What is really installed in your BigCommerce storefront |
| API Keys | Keys for headless storefronts, the FAQ widget and AI agents |
| Agent readiness | What an AI agent finds when it looks at your store |
| Danger Zone | Remove the store |
General
Store details
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Store Name | The name shown in your dashboard. |
| Platform | BigCommerce, Shopify or WooCommerce. Read-only. |
| Store URL | On Shopify, your .myshopify.com domain. On BigCommerce and WooCommerce, the public URL of your store. |
| Storefront Type | Classic (Stencil on BigCommerce, Online Store / Liquid on Shopify) or Headless (Catalyst, Hydrogen or a custom frontend). |
| Headless Frontend URL | Only for headless stores: the URL your customers actually visit. Clione checks your signals there. |
| Currency | Detected from your store. Read-only. |
Click Save Changes to apply.
Store sector
The sector your store sells in. Clione detects it after the first sync and marks it Detected automatically until you confirm it or pick another. Clione uses it to ask the right questions about your products and to write for the people who buy in that sector.
Push meta_title to categories, collections, and pages
Off by default: Clione doesn't overwrite the title of your categories, collections or pages unless you turn this on. Products always get their meta title published; this setting doesn't affect them.
Markets (Shopify)
Turn on the languages you sell in. For each one, Clione writes a translated title, description, FAQs and structured data, and your storefront serves the right language per market. The card shows how many markets you use out of your allowance, an organization-wide pool: one per store your plan allows, plus one per Extra store add-on, plus your Extra market add-ons. On other platforms the card says per-language signals aren't supported yet.
Enriched product description (Shopify, Beta)
When a shopping agent searches your Shopify catalog, it reads your product description, not your meta tags or structured data. Turn this on and Clione adds what it knows about each product (who it suits, why to choose it, what to know before buying) in a block below your own description.
- Your own description is never replaced. Clione only rewrites its own block on each publish.
- Turning it off removes the block on the next publish.
- Unlike meta tags and structured data, this text is visible to your customers on the page: publish one product and check it before publishing the whole catalog.
Branding
The Show "Powered by Clione" in the FAQ widget switch adds a small line at the bottom of your FAQ widget. It is one setting for the whole organization, so it applies to every store.
- On Starter and during the trial the line is always shown and the switch is locked.
- On Growth, Pro and Agency you choose.
Credentials
The platform keys Clione uses. A status badge tells you where you stand: No credentials saved, Saved — not verified, Connected or Invalid credentials.
| Platform | Fields |
|---|---|
| BigCommerce | API Access Token and Store hash |
| Shopify | Client ID and Client Secret from the Shopify Dev Dashboard. Older stores can still use an shpat_ token instead. Storefront password (optional) is only for password-protected storefronts, so Clione can check your live pages. |
| WooCommerce | Consumer key and Consumer secret of a WooCommerce REST API key with read/write permissions |
Saved secrets are never shown again. Leave a field empty to keep its current value; fill it in to replace it. Click Test connection to check the keys, and Save Changes to store them.
Setup guides: Connect Shopify and Connect BigCommerce.
Schema Injector
- BigCommerce — installs a small script on your Stencil storefront that renders your approved FAQs, their styles and the links AI agents look for, with a status, a Preview JSON-LD and Uninstall. Your JSON-LD is not part of the script: it is written server-side through BigCommerce's widgets when you publish. On a headless BigCommerce storefront the tab explains why the script can't work there and points you to the
@clione/seopackage. Full guide: Install the Schema Injector. - Shopify — there's nothing to install here: you turn on the Clione SEO theme app embed once in your theme editor. The Schema Status card checks your live storefront the way a crawler would and tells you whether the structured data is actually being served. The embeds need the Clione Shopify app; a store connected with its own Dev Dashboard app gets sync, enrichment and the meta title and description, but not the embeds. See Connect Shopify.
Integrations
- Google Search Console — brings the last 28 days of search performance per URL into each entity's detail page.
- Google Analytics 4 — counts the sessions and revenue AI assistants send to your products, categories and pages.
- Google Merchant Center feed — a supplemental feed URL that adds Clione's enriched title, description and highlights on top of the feed you already send. See Google Merchant Center feed.
- ChatGPT product feed — Clione uploads your catalog every day to the SFTP account OpenAI gives you. See ChatGPT product feed.
The two product feeds are included from Growth up. More on each integration in Integrations.
Widgets
On BigCommerce, this tab compares what is really installed in your store's Page Builder with what Clione has enriched, and shows anything missing or empty. If something is missing here, crawlers don't see it on your storefront either.
On Shopify the tab only explains that the work is done by two theme app embeds, Clione SEO for structured data and Clione FAQ for the visible FAQ accordion; the Schema Injector tab checks whether they are live.
API Keys
API keys let headless storefronts, the FAQ widget and AI agents read your enriched data.
To create one:
- Optionally give it a Key name.
- Pick a Key type: Browser for keys that ship inside your storefront pages (the FAQ widget, embed scripts), or Server for a server that fetches Clione data while rendering (Hydrogen, Next.js, Nuxt).
- Fill in Allowed domains, separated by commas. Wildcards such as
*.example.comwork. Leaving it empty allows any origin, which isn't recommended in production. - Optionally Scope to store, or leave it for all stores.
- Tick the Permission scopes it needs.
products:readis what the storefront embed uses; tick it if unsure.mcp:publiclets an AI agent read this store through the public MCP endpoint, read-only; a key with it must be scoped to one store, so pick this store under Scope to store. - Click Generate API Key.
The full key is shown once: copy it then. Afterwards the list shows only its prefix. From the list you can edit a key's allowed domains, Revoke it, Reactivate it or Delete it for good.
Every key in the organization, from every store, is also listed in Organization → API Keys, where owners and admins can delete any of them.
Developer reference: API authentication.
Agent readiness
A checklist of what an AI agent finds when it looks at your store on its own domain, with how many checks pass and the agent-readiness sub-score from your latest Pulse scan. Click Re-check to run it again.
Danger Zone
Schedule deletion
- Click Remove Store, then Yes, Schedule Removal.
- Clione emails you a confirmation link. Nothing is deleted until you click it.
- While you haven't confirmed, the tab shows the scheduled date, Cancel Deletion and Resend confirmation email.
Once you confirm, Clione rolls back the enriched data it published to your live storefront (meta tags, JSON-LD, signals) and permanently deletes the store's data after 30 days. During those 30 days Clione support can still restore the store.
Troubleshooting
I can't see Store Settings — Only owners and admins see it.
The credentials badge says Invalid credentials — The keys were rotated or revoked on the platform. Create new ones, paste them in Credentials and click Test connection.
The Schema Status card on Shopify says Not detected — Turn on the Clione SEO app embed in your Shopify theme editor, then click Recheck homepage. If your storefront is password-protected, add the Storefront password in Credentials.
I didn't get the deletion email — Check your spam folder, then click Resend confirmation email.
