Installing on Shopify
Add the Yokaify mascot to a Shopify storefront — via the theme editor in about two minutes, on any Shopify plan.
Before you start
You'll need your embed snippet from the Yokaify dashboard (Settings → Sites). It looks like this, with your own site key filled in:
<script src="https://cdn.yokaify.com/widget.js" data-site-key="YOUR_SITE_KEY" async></script>
Install via the theme editor
- In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
- On your live theme, click ⋯ → Edit code.
- Open
layout/theme.liquid. - Scroll to the bottom and paste the snippet on its own line, just before the closing
</body>tag. - Click Save.
Because theme.liquid wraps every storefront page, this single edit covers your whole store — you don't need to touch individual templates.
Shopify-specific notes
- Theme updates:
theme.liquidedits live in your theme. If you switch or update to a new theme, re-add the snippet to the new theme'stheme.liquid. - Checkout pages: Shopify does not allow custom scripts on checkout for most plans, so the mascot appears up to the cart page. That's where hesitation happens anyway — it's the highest-value real estate.
- Duplicate mounts: add the snippet once. If a previous app or a page-builder section already injects it, remove one — two copies will try to mount two mascots.
- Order lookup: once installed, Shopify stores can enable order lookup so the mascot can answer "where is my order?" questions.
Verify it worked
Open your storefront in a private/incognito window — the mascot should appear within a couple of seconds. The dashboard also detects the install automatically and confirms it on the Setup page. Full checklist: Verify your installation.
