Shopify automatically generates an RSS feed for you, but it’s limited to the blog section of your website.

To access the RSS feed, replace yourwebsite.com it with the actual URL of your Shopify store.

https://yourwebsite.com/blogs/article.atom
e.g.
https://modelsandsurf.com.au/blogs/article.atom

How to create RSS Feed for any other section

If you’re wondering how to serve RSS feeds for other sections of your website, follow the guide, where you will learn how to create a custom template, apply it to a page and provide RSS feeds from any section.

Limitation

As Shopify is a SaaS product, at the moment of writing, there is no possibility to change the header content-type; Therefore, even if you can display a correct RSS feed, some readers will reject it.

Create the RSS template (liquid)

Create a new template:

  • Go to Shopify Admin.
  • Navigate to Online Store > Themes.
  • Find the theme you want to edit, click Actions, then Edit code.
  • In the “Templates” directory, click Add a new template.
  • Create a template of the type page and name it something like rss.
