Getting started

Postli helps Shopify merchants track which social posts drive sales. This guide walks you through the initial setup — from installing the app to publishing your first post with a tracked short link.

1. Install Postli

1. Find Postli on the Shopify App Store and click Add app.
2. Authorize the install when Shopify prompts you. Postli will open inside your Shopify admin.
3. Choose a plan. The free tier gives you a taste of link tracking and social publishing; paid plans unlock higher limits and multi-touch attribution.

2. Complete the onboarding wizard

On first launch, Postli shows a step-by-step setup wizard. Each step has a direct action button and a “skip” option — you can always come back later.

1. Welcome — a quick overview of what Postli does.
2. Connect a social platform — opens the Integrations page. Click Connect on any platform card and approve the permissions on the provider’s consent screen.
3. Create your first short link — opens the Links page. Enter a destination URL (e.g. a product page) and click Create link.
4. Set up conversion tracking — opens Settings. Enable conversion tracking and (if needed) add the tracking snippet to your theme.
5. You’re all set — head to the Dashboard.

3. Your first post in 60 seconds

1. Go to Posts → Create post.
2. Write your caption in the composer. Use the AI Assistant button to generate or optimize copy if you like.
3. Attach images or video from your media library, or upload new files.
4. Under Link, select the short link you created earlier (or create a new one inline).
5. Unlock the platforms you want to publish to by toggling them on. Each platform tab lets you override the caption, media, and schedule independently.
6. Set a Schedule date and time (or publish immediately).
7. Click Save & schedule. Postli publishes at the scheduled time and tracks engagement automatically.
