2. Step 2: Configure Your API Key
3. Step 3: Configure Primary Settings
4. Step 4: Connect Your Products with Mimeeq

Step 1: Install the Mimeeq Shopify App

If you haven't already done so, install the Mimeeq App from the Shopify App Store. When you first access the Mimeeq App, you'll see a welcome dashboard with notification banners reminding you to add your API key and configure email notifications, along with four quick setup steps that guide you through the essential configuration process:

1. API Key - connect your Mimeeq account to Shopify
2. Primary Settings - configure core functionality
3. Products Sync - synchronize your products with Mimeeq
4. Notifications - set up notification preferences

Step 2: Configure Your API Key

The API key allows Shopify to connect with the Mimeeq service on your behalf.

Where to Find Your API Key

1. Go to your Mimeeq Admin Panel
2. Navigate to Settings > Account Settings
3. Find your API key and click Copy

How to Add Your API Key

1. In the Mimeeq App dashboard, click on the API Key card or navigate to it from the menu
2. Click the Edit button
3. Paste your API key into the field
4. Click Save

Step 3: Configure Primary Settings

Click on Primary Settings from the Quick Setup section or navigate to it from the menu. The settings are organized into several sections:

Cart Configuration

Pricing Configuration

How to find your Price List Group ID:

1. Go to your Mimeeq Admin Panel → Settings → Pricing
2. Find your market-specific price list
3. Copy the Group ID and paste it to Price List Input Field

Dynamic Fields Settings

Available Variables

Use these variables in your templates by wrapping them in curly brackets (e.g., {productName}):

Properties Passed to Products

Here's what information is always automatically passed to newly created products or variants:

Step 4: Connect Your Products with Mimeeq

When connecting product configurations from Mimeeq to your Shopify products, there are two methods you can use:

Method 1: Manual Product Setup (For Existing Products)

If your products already exist in Shopify and you want to map the configurator to a product page with Shopify that you've already created, you would need to do this manually.

Manually Mapping Mimeeq Products When Using the Create New Product Method

If you're using the "Create new product" method, you'll need to add the embed shortcode to your existing Shopify products:

1. Navigate to the product in Shopify
2. Scroll to the bottom and click Product metafields
3. Find the "Mimeeq Embed Shortcode" field
4. Copy the embed shortcode from your Mimeeq app and paste it here

Manually Mapping Mimeeq Products When Using the Create Variant Method

If you're using the "Create product variant" method, you'll need to create a mapping so Mimeeq knows where to create the new variants:

1. Open product page in Shopify where you want variants to be created
2. Click More actions (three dots) in the top right
3. Select Create product mapping (Mimeeq icon)

4. Enter the Product ID which you copy from Mimeeq
5. Save the mapping

Method 2: Sync Products from Mimeeq (For New Stores)

If you're starting with a new store, a faster way is to use the sync from Mimeeq. This will create new products which you can edit later, but all the mapping will already be in place.

How to Sync Products

1. Navigate to Products Sync from the Quick Setup section or menu
2. Select your synchronization mode:

• Add only new and active products (Recommended) - only syncs products not previously synced
• Override all - overwrites any changes made since last sync

3. Click Synchronise products
4. Wait for the sync to complete

When you sync products from Mimeeq, they'll be set up with all the information in the metafields ready to use in your storefront.

Understanding Metafields

Setting Different Starting Configurations

You can create multiple entry points in your store with different starting configurations. For example, if you offer a chair in three popular materials, you can create separate product listings that each load the configurator with a specific material pre-selected.

How to Set a Starting Configuration

1. Go to the product in Mimeeq Admin
2. Click Preview
3. Configure the product with your desired starting options
4. Click More Options → Copy Config Code
5. For Standard Configurators: Paste the code into the "Mimeeq Configuration Code" metafield
6. For Modular Configurators: Paste the code into the "Mimeeq Configuration Shortcode" metafield

This ensures that when customers click on that specific product listing, the configurator loads with your pre-selected options already applied.

Managing Variant Limits

Shopify has a 100-variant limit per product. Mimeeq manages this automatically by:

• Creating new variants for unique configurations
• Reusing variants when configurations and prices match
• Deleting and recreating variants when prices change
• At 99 variants, removing the oldest modified variant to make room for new ones

Step 5: Configure Notifications

Set up notification preferences to stay informed about errors. For detailed instructions, see our separate guide: How to Set Up Error Notification Emails.

Add Mimeeq to Your Storefront

After configuring the app settings, you'll need to add the Mimeeq configurator to your storefront theme. See our guide: Shopify App Theme Extension - Configure Your Storefront
