The app doesn't show on my theme

In more than 99% of cases Cartsaver works without theme changes. When it doesn’t, the cause is usually another app modifying the same area, or a theme that hasn’t been migrated to Online Store 2.0.

  • From Shopify admin: Online Store → Themes → Customize.
  • In the top dropdown, pick App embeds.
  • Find Cartsaver in the list and confirm the toggle is on (green).
  • Click Save.
  • Cartsaver supports Online Store 2.0 themes only (Dawn, Refresh, Sense, and any theme released after 2021).
  • Legacy Vintage themes won’t show the blocks.

Fix: upgrade to an Online Store 2.0 theme. Shopify’s free Dawn theme is always available as a preview.

These app categories often modify the thank-you page and can clash with Cartsaver:

  • Post-purchase upsell apps.
  • Loyalty / rewards apps that show a badge on the thank-you page.
  • Review-collection apps that prompt on the thank-you page.

Fix: open each of those apps’ settings and look for a “Show on thank-you page” option. Re-order if needed so Cartsaver shows first.

  • Cartsaver uses Shopify’s Checkout UI Extensions (the modern standard).
  • Stores still on Legacy Checkout (pre-2024 and never updated) won’t see the block on the thank-you page.

Fix: enable Checkout Extensibility from your Shopify settings. Shopify auto-upgrades the checkout — no code changes needed.

After enabling the app, your browser may cache an older version of the theme.

Fix:

  • Close and reopen the browser.
  • Try in an Incognito / Private window.

In rare cases, custom CSS on the theme hides the block.

Fix: open Online Store → Themes → Customize → Theme settings → Custom CSS and look for any rules referencing .cartsaver, #cartsaver, or display: none applied to general elements.

If you use a heavily customised theme, the block may need a non-standard placement. Cartsaver still uses standard Theme App Extensions — the theme developer can confirm compatibility.
