Installation
Installing the app is quick and mostly hands-off. Adding the checkout and/or theme blocks is not — that part is manual, required, and the actual scope of this work.
1. Install the App
- Install Croissant from the Shopify App Store.
- Authorize the requested permissions. Croissant reads orders, products, customers, gift cards, and returns, and writes discounts and a web pixel.
2. Confirm It Connected
In the background, Croissant creates your five discounts and registers the analytics pixel. Nothing on your storefront changes yet — this step is just confirming the backend came up clean.
- Navigate to the Croissant app in your Shopify admin.
- On its Settings page, confirm the connection reads Connected, with all five discounts and the pixel Active.
- Then check Discounts in your Shopify admin directly and confirm the same five discounts are there. The app page is a summary; the admin list is the source of truth.
3. Add the Checkout and/or Theme Blocks
This is the step the app does not do for you, and the one your work is actually scoped around. Nothing appears on your storefront until you add a block and give it a place to render.
| Block | Plan | Where you add it |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout block | Plus only | Settings → Checkout → Customize |
| Theme blocks (cart, cart drawer, info modal) | Any plan | Online Store → Themes → Customize → App embeds |
On Plus, add the checkout block — it is what applies the discounts, so treat it as required rather than optional. Add the theme blocks on any plan for cart and cart-drawer reach; on Basic, Grow, and Advanced they are the only surface, so at least one is required there too.
- Checkout Block → placement and every setting, in depth
- Theme Blocks → enabling embeds, injection selectors, and matching your theme
