How to Install App Shopify: An App That Works on Day One
Many installed apps do nothing because a theme embed was never switched on, a block was never added or a setting was left at its default. Handing the set-up to someone who does it daily means the app works, matches your theme and does not slow the store.
An installed app that does nothing
The app is installed but nothing shows on the store, or it shows in the wrong place with the wrong style. Settings are left at defaults, and an old app's code is still on the page.
An app that is live, styled and tested
The app is installed, connected through the right embed or block, configured to your brief and tested on the page. An old app is removed cleanly and speed is checked before and after.
What is included
What Your App Set-Up Includes
When you ask how to install an app in Shopify and want it working, you get the whole job, not only the install click.
Implementation checklist
- A review of the app's permissions and what it will do
- The app installed from the App Store or your link
- The theme app embed switched on or a block added to the right template
- Settings configured to your brief, with each choice written down
- The app's widget styled to match your theme where the app allows
- Any old or duplicate app removed with its leftover code checked
- A page speed check before and after the install
- A short guide for your team on changing the main settings
Each app has its own plans, trials and fees, which change over time and which we do not quote or pay for. This task covers one app, and apps that need custom code or deep integration are quoted separately.

How it works
How We Handle Your App Installation, Step by Step
Six steps take the app installation from your order to a live, tested result, and nothing changes on the live store until you approve it.
- 1
Purchase
Pick a package, set the options for your app installation and pay at checkout, and the price you see is the price you pay.
- 2
Access
Approve our collaborator request and fill in the short brief, and ownership never changes hands while we work on the app installation.
- 3
Build in a duplicate theme
A separate copy of your theme holds the app installation while we build, which leaves the live store untouched.
- 4
QA
We test the app installation on phones, tablets and desktops against the acceptance criteria before you see anything.
- 5
Handover
When you approve the app installation we move it to the live theme and give you a plain summary of what was done.
- 6
Support
Follow-up questions about the app installation are part of the service, while new work is quoted as a separate fixed-price task.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get App Installation & Configuration Started
We need a way into the store and a few facts about the app installation, and the options below keep both simple and reversible.
Collaborator access
Approve our collaborator request for the app installation from your Shopify admin, and you remain the owner and can revoke access the moment the work is finished.
No store yet? We build it first
Starting from scratch is fine, because we build the app installation in our development store and hand ownership to you at the end, and you pick your Shopify plan only then.
Prefer to share a login?
For the app installation you may share a staff login instead, though the collaborator route is easier to revoke and is what we usually advise.
The app
Tell us which app you want installed, or what you want it to do so we can name the right kind of app.
Your brief
Tell us where it should show, how it should look and any rules.
One decision maker
A named person to approve the app installation helps us finish it within the two revision rounds that come with every package.
If you are not sure which route fits your app installation, tell us in the short form after checkout and we will recommend one.
