Welcome to Covet.pics! šŸŽ‰

Hey there! We're excited to have you on board. This quick guide will help you get up and running with beautiful galleries in no time.

Installing the App

If you haven't installed Covet.pics yet:

  1. Head to Shopify's App Store
  2. Search for "Covet.pics"
  3. Click Get and then Install App
  4. Follow the prompts to complete installation

Creating Your First Gallery

When you first open Covet.pics, you'll see two options for adding content:

Option 1: Connect to Instagram (Recommended)

This pulls your existing Instagram content into beautiful galleries:

  1. Click the Add Instagram Account button
  2. You'll be taken to the Configure Channels tab
  3. Click the Authenticate Facebook Account button
    • Don't see this button? You might already have a Facebook account connected!
  4. Follow Facebook's authorization steps
  5. Once connected, you'll see your Instagram accounts listed

Now you can add content in two ways:

A) Pull from Your Instagram Feed

  1. Click the Add + button next to your Instagram account
  2. In the popup, select your feed from the dropdown
  3. Choose how you want to handle images:
    • Feed Photos: Images you've posted on your Instagram
    • Tagged Photos: Posts where other accounts have tagged you
  4. For each, select either:
    • Automatic: All images are automatically added to your gallery
    • Manual: Images are hidden until you approve them

B) Pull from a Hashtag

  1. Click the Add Instagram Hashtag button
  2. Enter your hashtag (without the # symbol)
  3. Choose Automatic or Manual approval
    • Pro tip: For popular hashtags, use "Manual" to avoid unwanted content!

Note: Hashtag pulls can only collect images posted in the last 24 hours, but will continue to save new posts going forward.

Option 2: Manual Upload

Prefer to upload your own images?

  1. Click the Manual Upload button
  2. Either:
    • Drag and drop images onto the upload area
    • Click to browse and select files from your computer
  3. Add as many images as you like

Moderating Your Gallery

After setting up your content sources:

  1. Click Save Gallery in the top right corner
  2. You'll be redirected to the gallery moderation page
  3. If you don't see images right away, wait a few minutes and click Reload Now

Approving & Rejecting Images

Easily control which images appear in your gallery:

  • Reject an image: Hover over it and click Reject
  • Approve a rejected image: Hover over the greyed-out image and click Approve
  • Bulk actions: Use the checkboxes to select multiple images, then use the buttons at the top
