Shopify app embed mode

Shopify introduced Online Store 2.0 themes that are built on a framework that allows merchants to add an app to a theme or update an app, without altering a merchant’s theme code. OptiMonk can now be added to any Shopify store as an app extension so that merchants can enjoy the benefits of Shopify’s updated framework and Online Store 2.0 themes.

In this article, you’ll learn about:

  1. What Shopify app embed mode is
  2. Who Shopify app embed mode is available to
  3. How to enable Shopify app embed mode in OptiMonk

1. What is the Shopify app embed mode?

Shopify app embed mode is a way of adding OptiMonk to your Shopify store. Before the introduction of Online Store 2.0 themes, OptiMonk’s script had been added to the theme code of your store.

The new system, however, packages code in modular blocks, giving merchants more control. Code is not only inserted or removed in an easier way, but this new framework also makes themes easier to support and troubleshoot.

 

2. Who is the Shopify app embed more available to?

Shopify app embed mode is available for all Shopify stores. You do not have to have an Online Store theme 2.0 installed.
