You can increase content credibility and user engagement by displaying author information on Shopify blog posts. While Shopify's standard features are limited to showing only author names, this article explains three methods to display author information, comparing their features, advantages, and disadvantages to help you choose the optimal approach.

What is Author Information?

Example of Author Information Display on Shopify Blog Posts

Author information refers to details about the writer or creator displayed on blog posts and product pages. This helps build content credibility and improve user engagement. Shopify offers several methods to display author information, each with its own characteristics.

3 Methods to Display Author Information on Shopify

1. Using Shopify's Blog Feature

This is the simplest method where you select an author from the blog editing screen under "Online Store" > "Blog Posts". However, this method has limitations:

  • Can only display author names
  • Limited to staff members registered in Shopify

2. Customizing Source Code

This method involves directly customizing the source code to:

  • Add additional information beyond author names
  • Combine with metafields and meta objects
  • Display profiles for non-staff authors
    While this offers the most flexibility, it requires programming knowledge.

3. Using Shopify Apps

Using Shopify apps can solve the limitations of both previous methods regarding information quantity, staff numbers, and programming knowledge. The main drawback is the monthly subscription cost.
