There are multiple ways to install Storista widgets in your store. These widgets can be categorized into feed widgets and popup widgets, each tailored for specific use cases, such as enhancing user engagement by displaying curated video feeds or popup content.

Install Widgets Using the Theme Editor.

  • Inside the widget page, click on the "Install" button

  • Make sure "App block" is selected and click on "Install widget"

  • Click on "Got it" and click on a new "Storista Widget" section

  • If you don't use widget targeting, paste the widget ID from Storista and save the changes.

  • Verify that the Widget ID corresponds to an active widget in Storista’s "On-site widgets" section to prevent display issues.

Install widgets with a custom Liquid section.

  • Inside the widget page, click on the "Install" button

  • Inside Shopify, in "Sales channels", open "Online Store"

  • Find theme where you want to install the widget, then click on three dots and select "Edit code"

  • Find folder "sections" and click on "Add a new section"

  • In the popup window, write down file name as "storista" and click "Done"

  • Remove everything

  • Go back to Storista, copy everything from textarea, paste it inside the Shopify code editor, and Save

  • Code for the new sections should start like this

  • Go back to the Themes and click on "Customize"

  • Click on "Add section", then write "storista" and click on "Storista Widget"

  • If you don't use widget targeting, paste the widget ID from Storista and save the changes.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  1. Verify Widget ID: Ensure the Widget ID links to an active widget in Storista.

  2. Replace Incorrect IDs: Use the Theme Editor to update invalid or outdated Widget IDs to resolve errors.

  3. Avoid Using Incorrect Blocks: Confirm the correct widget block type is used to match your store’s functionality (e.g., feed vs popup widgets).
