Connect a Shopify store you don’t own — one-click install, no credentials to copy

IntegrationsDashboard

Until now, connecting Shopify meant building your own app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard — which only works when the store belongs to the same Shopify organization as that app. Agencies and freelancers working on client-owned stores could never satisfy that, and hit a "shop_not_permitted" error that nothing in their store or app settings could fix. You can now connect any store by installing the Simplio3D app on it instead: pick the store, and either approve the install yourself or send your client a link they approve in their own Shopify admin — no logins shared, no organization access needed. Existing Shopify connections keep working exactly as they are; nothing to migrate and no action required.

New

  • Dashboard → Integrations → Shopify now asks how you want to connect, and defaults to the install — the option that works for every store.
  • Send an install link to a client: generate it, forward it, and once they approve the store is connected to your Simplio3D account. They never share a Shopify password or add you to their organization.
  • If a connection attempt fails with "shop_not_permitted", the result now explains that there is nothing to fix in your Shopify app and offers a one-click switch to the install.
  • A store that uninstalls the app now shows a clear "Reconnect required" banner with a Reconnect button, instead of silently failing at checkout.
  • Both connection methods behave identically afterwards — same checkout modes, product linking, SKU validation and SKU-matched carts.

Improved

  • The install asks for only two permissions — write_draft_orders and read_products — and the Integrations page lists exactly what was granted.
  • Install links are single use and expire after about an hour, and are refused if opened on a different store than the one they were made for.
  • Disconnecting now says plainly that the Simplio3D app stays installed in Shopify until the store owner removes it.
  • Changing the store on a connected integration no longer leaves the old store’s access in place.

Shrinking an uploaded image no longer tiles it across the model

EditorShare View

In a File Upload option block, a shopper who made their uploaded image smaller saw it repeat into a grid of copies across the 3D model instead of simply shrinking. Scaling up always worked, so the problem only showed up when someone tried to make a logo smaller. Reducing the size now produces one smaller image, at every scale, in the Preview modal and in your published Share view and iframe embeds. Nothing to re-save or reconfigure — the fix reaches every existing project as soon as it ships.

Improved

  • Dragging the Scale, Move or Rotate sliders is much lighter: the image is decoded once per upload and redrawn at most once per frame, instead of re-decoding the texture on every tick.

Fixed

  • Reducing an uploaded image’s Scale now shrinks a single image instead of tiling it. The consumer Scale control no longer overrides the target’s "Tile image across the UV surface" switch — which is what that switch always promised.
  • A shrunken image now sits on genuinely empty surface. JPEGs (and edge-to-edge PNGs) no longer smear their border colour, and PNG transparency is preserved at every scale.
  • Shrinking now keeps the image where it was instead of drifting it toward a corner.
  • Removing an uploaded image restores the original surface instead of leaving a solid white patch behind.
  • Turning "Tile image across the UV surface" on still tiles, exactly as before — and Move, Rotate and aspect ratio all behave unchanged.
