# Generate an llms.txt file for your site Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/llms-txt-for-stores · Last modified 21 August 2026 `llms.txt` is a typical method for giving AI tools and large language models (LLMs) structured, plain text context about your site. This is similar to how `robots.txt` gives instructions to search engine crawlers. [Learn more about llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org/). :::note Serving `llms.txt` requires StoreConnect website v21 or later. ::: Unlike `robots.txt`, StoreConnect does not auto-generate an `llms.txt` file for you. You need to create and maintain it yourself using a [content page](content-pages). ## How llms.txt works `llms.txt` is served through the same mechanism as any other alternate content type on a [content page](content-pages): a **Page** record with a file extension in its **Path** field. There is no dedicated llms.txt feature or setting, so you have full control over the file's content and when it changes. The same mechanism can serve any other on-demand feed an AI tool or answer engine expects, not only `llms.txt`. See [answer engine and generative engine optimization](answer-engine-optimization). ## llms.txt format and content You can use any number of AI tools to generate a basic llms.txt for your site. The output will look something like this: ```markdown # [Your Store Name] > [Your Store Name] is a premium online retailer specializing in [Niche], offering high-quality [Product Category] with fast, worldwide shipping and easy returns. ## Core Categories - [Shop All Products](https://yourstore.com) - [Best Sellers](https://yourstore.com) - [New Arrivals](https://yourstore.com) ## Customer Care - [Shipping Information](https://yourstore.com) - [Returns & Refunds](https://yourstore.com) - [Contact Support](https://yourstore.com) ## Featured Products - [Premium Leather Jacket](https://yourstore.com) - $299.00 - [Handcrafted Ceramic Mug](https://yourstore.com) - $24.00 ``` ## Create your llms.txt file 1. Go to the **Pages** list for the store and click **New**. 2. Set the **Path** field to `llms.txt` (no leading `/`). 3. Replace the default `{{ content_page | render_content_blocks }}` snippet in the **Content Body** field with your llms.txt content. 4. Save the record. 5. Open `https://your-store.com/llms.txt` in your browser and confirm the file returns as plain text, without the header, footer, or theme wrapper. To update the llms.txt later, edit the **Content Body** on this record. :::tip An AI agent connected to your store can draft the `llms.txt` content from your live catalog and create the **Page** record for you. See [build on StoreConnect using AI agents](use-ai-agents-with-storeconnect). ::: ## Writing dynamic content The **Content Body** field is rendered through Liquid, so `llms.txt` content can be generated dynamically (for example, listing current product categories or pulling values from [store variables](store-variables)) instead of maintaining a fully static file. ## Remove llms.txt Delete the **Page** record with the **Path** `llms.txt`, or clear its **Content Body**. Removing the page means requests to `llms.txt` return a 404, and there is no auto-generated fallback. ## llms.txt and stealth mode `llms.txt` and [Stealth mode](stealth-mode) work in opposite directions: `llms.txt` gives AI tools content to read, while stealth mode tells crawlers to stay away. Enabling stealth mode does not take your `llms.txt` page offline. Stealth mode only suppresses robots.txt, the sitemap, and merchant feeds. A custom `llms.txt` content page is not on that list, so anyone who requests the URL directly still receives the file. What changes is that compliant crawlers no longer read or index it: - Stealth mode's robots.txt returns `Disallow: /`, which instructs compliant crawlers not to request any path on the store, including `/llms.txt`. - Every response from the store, including `/llms.txt`, carries an `X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow` header, which instructs compliant crawlers not to index the content. In short, stealth mode leaves the file readable but tells well-behaved AI crawlers not to fetch or index it. If your goal is to block AI crawlers from your store, use stealth mode. An `llms.txt` file cannot do this; it provides information to AI tools, it does not control their access. --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://getstoreconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://getstoreconnect.com/partners) - [News](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/events) - [Feature Comparison](https://getstoreconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://getstoreconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS --- StoreConnect Support — https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/llms-txt-for-stores
