Installation Guide for SC Product Options

Modified on Mon, 29 Apr at 3:07 AM

Overview

SC Product Options requires our Liquid code in order to run correctly on your store. The code installation ensures that the options will appear on your product pages and that your customer's selections will appear correctly on both the cart and checkout pages of your store.

We offer a few different options to help you complete this installation on your store:

An automatic installer
The ability to request a professional installation from our team
A step-by-step guide on completing this manually

Before you start, we highly recommend creating a Duplicate version of your Shopify theme to ensure you have a copy without our code installation.

Automatic Install

When you first install the SC Product Options app to your store, it will immediately take you to a screen that notifies you of the importance of running an automatic installation on your store.

If you aren't seeing this option, please hover over Need Help? then Theme Installation.

Selecting Begin automatic update will allow you to choose your preferred theme that you would like to complete the automatic code installation on for SC Product Options.

Pro-Tip

We highly recommend creating a Duplicate version of your Shopify theme to ensure you have a copy without our code installation.

After the checkbox is selected to confirm you have a backup version of your theme, you will be able to proceed with the code installation.

It is important to note that if your current theme is not compatible with our automatic installation tool, the app will automatically notify you. If this happens, you can roll back your theme to its previous state.

When the installation has not been completed in full, reverting the changes will automatically create an installation request for our team to assist you further.

Manual Install

Step 1: Add Snippets

From the Shopify admin, select Online Store.
Select Actions.
Duplicate the theme you would like the installation completed on.
Select Edit Code on the duplicated theme.
Under Snippets, find the bold-common.liquid file.

If it doesn't currently exist:

Select Add a new snippet.
Enter the correct snippet name.
Select Create snippet.

Copy and paste the code: bold-common.liquid
