How to install UserWay’s Widget on Shopify
Step 1: Choose Themes
In Shopify’s back-end click on ‘Online Store.’ Then click on the ‘Themes’ option, where you’ll see all the themes that you have. Make sure that we’re going to edit your current theme.
Step 2: Choose Actions
You might find other themes down here, but it has to be active so this is the current theme.
Click on ‘Actions’ and scroll down a little bit and click on ‘Actions’ and ‘Edit Code’ options.
Step 3: Choose ‘theme.liquid’
Select ‘theme.liquid’ because this is the file that you’re going to edit.
Step 4: Paste the Code
Scroll all the way down until we find the body closing tag.
Past the code and click on ‘Save.’
Step 5: Preview and Save
To make sure you’ve done all these steps correctly then preview this site I’m going to open it in a new tab. If you see the widget right here, this means that you’ve installed it correctly.
There’s another way to check if you’ve set up everything correctly. Go back to userway.org and here click on the ‘Let’s Verify’ button. But again if you see the widget on your site that means you’ve done everything correctly.
So what we can do is click on ‘Skip,’ and you get your accessibility statement. This is a template that you can modify, you can add all your details, you can customize it, and bring it to your site.
