Step 1: Downloading and installing the Yatpo app
Installing Yatpo on Shopify is incredibly easy. All you have to do is download the app from Shopify's app market. Once you've downloaded the app, you'll be guided through an installation wizard that takes care of all the heavy lifting for you. In case you prefer a manual installation or encounter any issues during the automatic installation, we're here to help.
Step 2: Manual installation process
If you choose to manually install Yatpo on your Shopify store, the process is relatively simple but may vary in difficulty depending on the theme you're using. In this video, we'll demonstrate how to perform an installation on the default Shopify theme. However, please remember that our support team is always available to assist you if you need any help.
- Locating the theme.liquid file
To begin the manual installation process, you'll need to locate your theme.liquid file, which can be found under the Layout section in your Shopify admin. If you have trouble finding it, you can also use the search function on the left-hand side to quickly locate the file.
- Installing Yatpo's JavaScript
Once you've found the theme.liquid file, open it and copy the code provided in the Yatpo installation article. Paste this code right above the <head> element section in the file. Make sure to replace the "app key" portion of the code with your store's Yatpo app key, which can be found in the store settings section of your Yatpo admin. After making the necessary changes, save the file.
- Implementing the code in the product.liquid file
The next step is to locate the product.liquid file, which is located under the Templates section in your Shopify admin. Again, you can use the search function if needed. Once you've found the file, scroll to the bottom and paste the code from the Yatpo installation article. Save the file after adding the code.
- Implementing the conversion tracking code
To measure Yatpo's success rate and populate the relevant details in your conversion dashboard, you'll need to implement the conversion tracking code. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings, then click on Checkout. From there, click on Order processing and finally click on Additional scripts. Copy the code provided in the installation article and paste it into the box. Don't forget to replace both instances of the "app key" with your store's Yatpo app key. Save the changes.
- Adding the star rating element
While not required, adding the star rating element is highly recommended as it helps establish buyer trust. To add the star rating element to your product pages, access the product template.liquid file, which is located under Settings. Once again, you can use the search function if necessary. We suggest adding the star rating element under the product title on the product page. Locate the product title element and paste the code under it. Use the search function (Ctrl+F or Command+F) to find the product title element quickly. If desired, you can also add star ratings to your collection pages in a similar manner.
That's it! Your Shopify store is now fully equipped with Yatpo. You can start collecting reviews using our automatic review request feature or import existing reviews. For more information, please refer to our comprehensive help center. Thank you for choosing Yatpo!
