Kive for Shopify is a Shopify App Store app that links a store to a Kive workspace, imports products as AI product models, and adds the generated images back to the product in Shopify.
Each imported product becomes an AI product model built from up to four of its existing images, so generated shots stay accurate to the real product. Ask Agent to find gaps in your product pages, add missing angles or create lifestyle shots across the catalog, with your preferred presets keeping everything consistent.
The results go straight back to Shopify. No downloading and re-uploading each image. The app is free to install from the Shopify App Store, and workspaces that install it start with 200 free credits.
Plans, permissions and connected stores
Free to install from the Shopify App Store. Workspaces that install it start with 200 free credits, and generating uses credits after that.
Starting the connection from Kive instead, in Settings → Integrations, needs a paid plan (Basic, Pro or Enterprise) and workspace admin access.
Shopify permissions are read and write on products and files. Kive writes only when you add an image back to a product.
Any number of stores can connect to one Kive workspace. Each store gets its own section in Organize → Products.
Product models use up to four existing product images, so shape, label and packaging survive generation.
Generations started from Shopify use the same workspace credits as generations started in Kive.
From your catalog to your product pages
1. Install
Install Kive from the Shopify App Store and pick the Kive workspace your store belongs to.
2. Import
Import products from the Shopify section in Organize → Products, or ask Agent to pull them in.
3. Create
Generate studio shots, lifestyle scenes and missing angles with your presets, so every product looks like the same brand.
4. Publish
Push the results straight back onto the product in Shopify.
Create without leaving Shopify
Every product in your Shopify admin gets a Create with Kive action. It opens the Kive creator with that product selected: pick a studio, set the aspect ratio and quality, and generate. Each result can be downloaded or added straight to the product’s images.
Open advanced tools in Kive takes you to the full Create page, with everything you made from Shopify already in your library.

Shopify app vs Import from URL
Kive can also read products from any online store with Import from URL. If your store runs on Shopify, install the app instead: it reads the catalog through Shopify’s API, so store security settings never get in the way and results can go back to the product.

Common questions
Installing from the Shopify App Store works on any plan, and a workspace that installs the app starts with 200 free credits. Generating images uses credits after that, the same as in Kive. Starting the connection from Kive’s Settings → Integrations instead needs a paid plan (Basic, Pro or Enterprise) and workspace admin access.
Shopify asks for access to read and write products and files. Kive reads product titles and images to build product models, and writes only when you choose to add a generated image back to a product. It does not change prices, inventory, orders or customer data.
Yes. You can connect several Shopify stores to the same Kive workspace, and each connected store gets its own Import from Shopify section in Organize → Products. Import the products you need from each store, then generate images for all of them from one workspace.
No. Every product in your Shopify admin gets a Create with Kive action that opens the Kive creator with that product selected. Pick a studio, set the aspect ratio and quality, generate, and add the result straight to the product’s images without switching tabs.
Import from URL reads your storefront the way a visitor would, so bot protection, password protection or an unusual page layout can block it. The Shopify app reads your catalog through Shopify’s API, so product titles and images come across exactly as you set them up, and results can go back to the product.
No. Generations started from the Shopify admin use your Kive workspace credits, the same as generations started in Kive. The credit cost per image depends on the quality mode and number of variants you choose, and it is shown before you generate.
