Theme app extensions offer a user-friendly way for merchants to enhance their Shopify themes with dynamic elements, eliminating the need for complex coding or Liquid template modifications.
This integration also enables seamless data syncing with Brevo, allowing merchants to unlock advanced features like event tracking and customer interaction monitoring.
These features include email pop-ups, abandoned cart automations, and more, which provide actionable tools to enhance your store's engagement and efficiency.
With PushOwl's theme app extensions, you can easily incorporate dynamic features such as product reviews, prices, ratings, or even interactive 3D models of their products. These extensions seamlessly integrate with Online Store 2.0 themes, including the default Dawn theme, which serves as Shopify's Online Store 2.0 reference theme.
Additionally, the integration supports event tracking and ensures smooth data transmission between Shopify and Brevo, enhancing the overall functionality of your store.
For example, with PushOwl, merchants can implement email pop-ups for customer engagement and recover abandoned carts directly through the theme.

Shopify suggests using theme app extensions to improve the experience for store owners.
If Shopify decides to remove support for script tags in the future, merchants will not be able to use PushOwl as it currently works. To be proactive, we are encouraging merchants to switch to using theme app extensions before Shopify makes any announcements about discontinuing script tags.
