Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”

Install Neo Product Catalog Flipbook and choose a plan first. Free is fine for trying it out.

Create the flipbook

Section titled “Create the flipbook”
  1. In the app, open Flipbooks and click Create flipbook.
  2. On the PDF flipbook card, click Choose PDF.
  3. Click Upload PDF and choose your file. Leave Shopify Files selected, then click Upload. Files over 20 MB go to Managed storage automatically.
  4. Once the upload finishes, click Use this PDF.
  5. Check the preview and title. The title starts with your PDF’s file name; change it on the General tab if you like.
  6. Click Create flipbook in the save bar at the top of the page.

The app returns to Flipbooks and confirms that your flipbook was created. It’s now visible to shoppers. For other ways to choose a PDF and more settings, see Create from a PDF.

Add it to your theme

Section titled “Add it to your theme”
  1. In the app, go to Home.
  2. In the setup guide, open Add flipbooks to your storefront and click Add flipbook block. Shopify opens the theme editor on your product page template and adds the Neo Flipbook block.
  3. In the block’s Flipbook setting, choose the one you just made. If it isn’t listed yet, wait a moment and reload the editor.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Go back to the app’s Home page and click I’ve done it on the same setup step.

Your flipbook now appears on product pages that use that template. To place it on another page or open it in a lightbox, see Add a flipbook to your theme.

Section titled “Copy the public link”
  1. Go to Flipbooks and click your flipbook’s title.
  2. In the Publish section, click the copy button next to Public link.
  3. Share the link in an email, a social post, or your store’s menu.

You can also click I’ve done it on Preview and share your link to finish the setup guide. See Share the public link for more ideas.
