Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMulti Custom Authors allows you to easily add and display your own custom writers on blog articles. This is especially useful for stores that have multiple contributors / writers on their blogs and want to attribute those blog articles to the actual writer, with the option of including an image and a bio about the writer.
Note: Due to Medium closing off their API to new integrations, new stores will not be able to use this app to automatically post Shopify blog articles to Medium. If you have a Medium integration token prior to 2025, it will still work. In other words, unless you have a pre-existing Medium integration which provided you a token prior to 2025, you won't be able to use this app.
