Hey Friends, i want a help from you guys, that i want to implement two files one is robot.txt & llms.txt file for the crawling’s, But in which folder i have to create template but it’s showing the extension must be .liquid or json. I also asked to shopify support team but they don’t want to help me, they are saying we wouldn’t help you in that because we are not developers team. So please suggest me what is the best option to do that.
Hey @Web_Development,
For the robots.txt side of this, we already have built-in support. You can create a robots.txt.liquid template directly in your theme editor. Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code, then add a new template and select “robots.txt.liquid” as the type. The editing robots.txt.liquid help center article walks through the full process, and the developer reference for robots.txt.liquid covers the Liquid objects available if you want more granular control over rule groups.
For llms.txt, we don’t currently have support for serving that file type. It’s also worth noting that llms.txt is a community proposal, not an established standard. No major LLM provider (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) has confirmed they honor these files during crawling, so the practical SEO benefit is unclear right now.
Assuming based on your question that your goal is making your store discoverable and functional for AI agents, our approach to this is through real-time integrations rather than static files. Here are some of those agentic resources that are a good starting point:
