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.

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.

For example, with PushOwl, merchants can implement email pop-ups for customer engagement and recover abandoned carts directly through the theme.


How do we enable the Theme App Extension?

Ensure you have the latest versions of Shopify and PushOwl installed to guarantee optimal functionality and consistency during theme integration.

If any challenges arise while enabling the extension, the PushOwl support team is ready to assist through their in-app chat or via the provided email contact.

Steps:

  1. On the PushOwl Dashboard, you will see a banner asking you to enable Theme app extensions.

  2. Click Enable Now.

What would happen if you don’t enable the theme app extension?

  • 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.

  • Added Benefits: Seamlessly integrates advanced functionalities like email pop-ups and abandoned cart recovery to greatly enhance store engagement and sales potential.
