How to install widgets on Shopify

We have created a dedicated Shopify app, so it's very easy to start using Getsitecontrol on Shopify. The app will link your site to Getsitecontrol and allow you to create and edit widgets in the Getsitecontrol dashboard with the results being applied in real time. The app needs to be installed only once.

Here’s how to install Getsitecontrol app on a Shopify store:

1. Install the app itself

Log in to your Shopify dashboard, find the Getsitecontrol app and click on Add app.

2. Connect to Getsitecontrol

Confirm that you want to connect your Shopify store to Getsitecontrol by clicking on Install app.

In your Getsitecontrol dashboard, choose the necessary plan to start the trial.

Then in your Shopify dashboard, you only need to confirm it by clicking Approve to proceed.

If you’re not a Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme user, then that’s all you need to do: the app is installed now, and you can start creating the widgets.

But if you are, go right to the next part.

Install on Shopify Online Store 2.0

For Shopify Online Store 2.0, you also need to activate the app itself after installation. In your Getsitecontrol dashboard, you’ll see the App is inactive indicator. Click on it.

After that, the hint popup will appear. Click the Activate app button there.

Then you’ll be redirected to your Shopify dashboard where you need to make sure that our app is enabled. Save the changes there.

After that, go to your Getsitecontrol dashboard and click Verify, so the system could check whether our code works or not.

When it’s done, you’ll see the success popup which means you can start creating the widgets.

Getsitecontrol app in your Shopify dashboard

Find Getsitecontrol in the Apps section in the left panel in your Shopify dashboard. Click the app to switch to your Getsitecontrol dashboard.

That’s it! You have successfully installed the Getsitecontrol app on your Shopify store and logged in to your Getsitecontrol account. Widgets you create in your Getsitecontrol dashboard will be displayed in the store once you activate them.
