Overview

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:

1. An automatic installer
2. The ability to request a professional installation from our team
3. 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 Bold 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 Liquid 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 Bold Product Options.

After the checkbox is selected to confirm you have a back up 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 rollback 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.
