Storefront content
Content Shepherd
Blog posts, announcements, and support articles from the store admin.
Content Shepherd is where storefront articles live: blog posts, announcements, endorsements, and support pages. Publish them in the same admin as the catalog, and the storefront reads them from a public API.
- Articles for blog, endorsement, announcement, and support
- Person and video components on articles
- Public blog index and slug routes for the storefront
- SEO fields when Optimization Shepherd is installed
- Edited in the store admin, not a separate CMS
- Same host and database as the catalog
Content next to the catalog.
Guides, announcements, and support pages do not need another publishing tool. Write them in the store admin and let the storefront fetch the public blog routes.
- One article type with a purpose: blog, endorsement, announcement, or support
- Public list and detail endpoints
- No second CMS to keep in sync

Content Shepherd uses Optimization Shepherd for SEO on articles. Install both when posts should carry the same meta treatment as products.
