Placements for Inline Widgets
For inline widgets, you can use 3 types of placement to add widget to your site.
Product Page (Auto)
When auto placement is selected, our system will try to automatically place widget at product page after add to cart button. Keep in mind that this method may not work for every themes. If auto placement doesn't work, use Selector or Custom Placement instead.
Product Page (Selector)
Use placement tool to visually insert widgets into your site without any technical work. See guide for selector placement.
If auto placement doesn't work for your site and you are not comfortable dealing with code, we highly recommend you to try using selector placement to insert widget.
Custom Placement
For custom placement, you will need to manually add code snippet to your site. Use this as fallback if all other placement methods doesn't work.
After selecting custom placement and saving widget, look for Show Code button in overview page (it will only be shown if custom placement is selected), click on it and follow installation instructions from there.
Shopify Online Store 2.0 (Optional)
If you are using a theme that supports Online Store 2.0, you can use app block to add widget. Simply select Custom Placement when setting up widget and follow installation instructions from Show Code button in overview page.
