Enable Cart Reserve App Embed

The Cart Reserve app embed is a code snippet that connects the app to your storefront theme. It runs automatically in the background—no coding required.

The app embed allows Cart Reserve to detect cart and product elements such as add-to-cart buttons, quantity controls, and cart forms.

Why This Step Is Required

Without the app embed enabled, Cart Reserve cannot:

  • Detect cart updates
  • Create or update reservations
  • Apply reservation logic on the storefront

This step is required for all stores.

How to Enable the App Embed

  1. Open Shopify Admin
  2. Go to Sales channels → Online Store → Themes
  3. Click Edit on your active theme
  4. Open App embeds
  5. Locate Cart Reserve
  6. Toggle it On
  7. Click Save

Cart Embed CartReserve

Your active theme is the one currently visible to customers. Make sure you enable the app embed on this theme.

Verification

The app embed is enabled when:

  • Cart Reserve appears as enabled in App embeds
  • Reservation logic runs during cart interactions

If reservations are not being created, verify that the app embed is enabled on the correct theme.

Next Step

Continue with Sync Products from Your Store.
