How to Use Layerre with Shopify

5 min read

Shopify stores need product cards, sale graphics, and social media content for every product. Layerre connects to your Shopify store via Make or Zapier to generate visual assets automatically from your product data.

What is Shopify?

Shopify is the leading e-commerce platform for building online stores. It manages products, orders, customers, and inventory. Its REST and GraphQL APIs, combined with automation platform integrations, make it straightforward to trigger design generation from store events.

Use Cases: Shopify + Layerre

New product → product card images

When a new product is published in Shopify, Layerre generates branded product card images in multiple sizes for social media, email, and marketplace listings.

Price changes → sale graphics

When a product goes on sale (compare-at price set), Layerre generates sale badge images with the discount percentage and updated price automatically.

Order confirmation → personalized thank-you card

After a customer places an order, generate a personalized thank-you image with their name and the product they purchased. Include it in the confirmation email.

Collection updates → collection banner images

When a new collection is created or updated, Layerre generates the collection banner image with the collection title and featured products.

How It Works

  1. 1Design product and marketing templates in Canva with dynamic layers for product data
  2. 2Import templates into Layerre
  3. 3Set up a Make or Zapier automation triggered by Shopify events (new product, updated product, new order)
  4. 4Map Shopify product fields (title, price, image URL, description) to Layerre template layers
  5. 5Save generated images back to Shopify media library or to a cloud storage folder
