Enable the app embed

How-to guide All plans 2 min read

The app loads through a Shopify app embed, so no theme code is edited and turning it off removes the app from that theme right away. Enable it once per theme: after you install the app, and again for every new theme.

Enable it from the app

1. Check App status

   Go to Apps > Globo Mega Menu and find the App status banner at the top of Home. If it says Enable the app embed in your theme to start using the app (1), continue; if the button says Manage in theme editor, the embed is already on.

   

   App status: (1) current status, (2) Activate button

2. Click Activate

   Click Activate (2). The theme editor opens in a new tab on the App embeds panel.

3. Turn on Mega menu

   Find Mega menu (Globo Mega Menu) and turn its toggle on (1). Using several apps? Type Globo in the App embeds search box.

   

   Theme editor: (1) Mega menu toggle, (2) Save

4. Save

   Click Save (2) in the top-right corner of the theme editor. The change doesn’t apply until you save.

5. Confirm in the app

   Go back to the app’s tab. App status refreshes and the button changes to Manage in theme editor.

Two other buttons open the same panel: Activate now in the Setup guide on Home, where you first pick the theme under Choose theme (the button changes to Activated once the embed is on), and Go to app embeds settings, shown after you publish a menu to a theme where the embed is off.

Enable it from Shopify admin

1. Go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on the theme.
2. Click the App embeds icon in the left sidebar.
3. Turn on Mega menu and click Save.

Caution

App embeds are enabled per theme. If you switch, duplicate or publish another theme, check that Mega menu is on there too — otherwise the menu doesn’t show.

Troubleshooting

The embed is on but no menu shows

The app embed only loads the app. You still need to publish a menu to that theme. Wait a few minutes after publishing, then open your store in a private window. Still missing? See The menu doesn’t show.

Which theme does App status check?

App status checks the theme you last published a menu to, or your live theme if you haven’t published yet.
