How to add Medium Feed to a Shopify store

Embed Medium Feed on Shopify

01

Create a Medium Feed app for Shopify on Common Ninja

First, create a Shopify Medium Feed app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Medium Feed and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Medium Feed app

When you're done creating the Medium Feed app, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Medium Feed Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Medium Feed app to your Shopify store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the app embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Shopify store.

04

Paste the code to your Shopify website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Shopify store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Shopify’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Medium Feed Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Medium Feed app on your Shopify store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Medium Feed app on your Shopify app. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Shopify store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Medium Feed app to your Shopify store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Shopify store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Medium Feed widget when you publish articles on Medium and want that writing to support your site without manual updates. Embedding a live feed of recent posts shows visitors that you share in depth content and keeps pages feeling current. This is useful for founders, product teams, and brands that treat Medium as a main content home. Instead of duplicating posts, you point traffic from your site to those articles while still presenting them in a branded context. Seeing your topics and consistency can build credibility, help with discovery, and encourage visitors to follow you on Medium for future pieces.
