To Install an In-Page App

Shareaholic In-Page Apps are special apps that you let place them exactly where you want in your website layout or template at the location where the app should appear on your page. Our Share Buttons and Related Content apps are both In-Page apps.

If you have not already created an In-Page Shareaholic App, check out the Installing an In-Page Shareaholic App Guide before following the instructions below.

Please note Shopify does include their own Social Share Buttons in the templates, so be sure to disable this setting if you want to use Shareaholic Share Buttons instead.

All Shopify Files will be edited from within the Template Editor, which can be found by going to your Themes page and selecting "Edit Code" from the Actions dropdown on your current theme.
