How do I add plugins to Shopify?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:35 am

Adding plugins to Shopify is relatively easy. There are a few different ways to do it, depending on what type of plugin you want to add.

If you want to add a plugin from the Shopify app store, there are a few different ways to do this. The easiest way is to go to your shop’s settings, and then scroll down to the “apps” section.

Here, you’ll see a list of available apps. Click on the app you want to add a plugin to, and then click on the “add plugin” button.

If you want to add a plugin from a third-party source, you can do this by visiting the plugin’s website and clicking on the “add to shop” button. Once you’ve added the plugin, you’ll need to enter your shop’s info into the plugin’s settings.

Once you’ve added a plugin, you’ll need to activate it. To do this, go to your shop’s settings, and then scroll down to the “plugins” section.

Here, you’ll see a list of activated plugins. Click on the plugin you want to activate, and then click on the “activate” button.

PRO TIP: Adding plugins to Shopify can be a risky business – plugins can often introduce security vulnerabilities or cause instability. Make sure you know what you’re doing before you add any plugins, and always test them thoroughly before adding them to your live site.

Finally, you’ll need to add a plugin action to your shop’s main menu. To do this, go to your shop’s main menu, and then click on the “menu” button. Here, you’ll see a list of available menu items. Click on the “add new” button, and then enter the plugin’s name into the “title” field.

In the “action” field, you’ll need to enter the code for the plugin’s action. For example, if you want to add a plugin that allows you to add new products to your shop, you would enter “addproduct” into the “action” field.

Once you’ve added the plugin action and the plugin name, you’ll need to click on the “save” button.

Finally, you’ll need to add the plugin to your shop’s website. To do this, go to your shop’s website, and then click on the “plugins” button. Here, you’ll see a list of available plugins. Click on the “add new” button, and then enter the plugin’s name into the “name” field.

In the “url” field, you’ll need to enter the plugin’s website address. In the “description” field, you’ll need to enter a brief description of the plugin. In the “version” field, you’ll need to enter the plugin’s version number. Finally, you’ll need to click on the “add” button.

Congratulations! You’ve now added a plugin to your shop’s website.
