Theme Setup

Auction Plus needs two theme pieces to work correctly on your storefront:

  1. The app embed must be enabled.

  2. The right app blocks must be added where you want auctions, offers, or the following button to appear.

What the App Embed Does

The app embed powers the shared storefront features used across Auction Plus, including:

  • Auction bidding on product pages

  • Countdown displays on collection pages

  • The Make an Offer experience

  • Watchlist & wishlist features

If the app embed is off, merchants can still configure settings in Auction Plus, but customers will not see those features on the storefront.

Turn On the App Embed

You can open the Shopify theme editor from several places in Auction Plus:

  • The App Embed button on the dashboard

  • From the Settings > Theme page

  • The Features setup flow for Auctions, Make an Offer, or Following

When to Add App Blocks

After the app embed is active, add the specific app blocks you need:

These blocks are added inside your Shopify theme editor and control where each feature appears.

Theme Compatibility Notes

Some themes support app blocks on product pages and in the header. Others need light theme adjustments.

If a guide tells you your theme does not support a required app block location, contact support@auctionplusapp.com or use the in-app chat and we can help with theme-specific setup.
