llms.txt

10-20 minBeginner

llm.txt is a text-only site map proposal for AI agents. On Shopify, you can implement this by uploading a file to the 'Files' section or creating a Liquid template.

Prerequisites

  • Shopify Admin Access
  • ChatGPT/Claude to generate the content
Easy Recommended

Static File Method (Easiest)

Upload a static text file.

1

Generate Content

1

Copy your sitemap URLs from yourstore.com/sitemap.xml.

2

Ask AI: 'Convert this list to a clean llm.txt format with Markdown links'.

3

Save as llm.txt on your computer.

2

Upload to Shopify

1

Go to Shopify Admin > Content > Files.

2

Upload llm.txt.

3

Copy the resulting URL (it will be cdn.shopify.com/...).

4

Create a Redirect in 'Online Store > Navigation > URL Redirects' so yourstore.com/llm.txt redirects to the CDN URL.

Best Practices

Do

  • Use the Redirect method for simplicity
  • Update manually when collections change

Don't

  • Expect Shopify to serve the file at root without a redirect

Verification Checklist

  • Go to yourstore.com/llm.txt (should redirect or load content)

Pro Tips

  • Since Shopify forces a CDN URL for files, the 301 redirect is the standard way to 'host' root files like security.txt or llm.txt.
