Embedding Google Docs directly into your Shopify store can significantly improve the shopping experience for your customers. Whether you want to display product manuals, size guides, or detailed specifications, embedding Google Docs lets you share important information without requiring visitors to download files or leave your site.

This guide shows you exactly how to embed Google Docs on your Shopify store in just a few simple steps.

What You’ll Need

2. Click “Add app” to install it on your store
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation
4. Activate the app according to the setup wizard

Step 2: Set Your Google Doc Sharing Permissions

Before embedding, ensure your Google Doc is properly shared:

1. Open your Google Doc
2. Click the “Share” button in the top right corner
3. Select “Anyone with the link” or “Public” for the viewing permission
4. Copy the link to your Google Doc

Step 3: Embed the Google Doc on Your Shopify Store

Now for the magic part:

1. Go to your Shopify admin panel
2. Navigate to the page, product, or blog post where you want to embed the document
