# Theme integration

Turn on the app's embed in your theme — a one-time step, done once per theme, not per form.

## ⚙️ Turn the app embed on

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open your theme

* In the Shopify admin, click **Online store** > **Themes**
* Find the theme > click **Edit theme** to open the theme editor

{% endstep %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save in the theme editor

Click **Save** in the theme editor, then preview your store to see the app live.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

> **💡 Shortcut:** The **App Status** card on the app's **Dashboard** links straight to the theme editor of the live theme — no need to navigate manually.

## 🧪 Test Before Going Live

You can enable the app embed on a **draft or unpublished theme** first, then use **Preview** to see how the form looks and behaves — without affecting your live store.

> **⚠️ Note:** The **App Status** card on the Dashboard only reflects your **live theme** .
>
> If you've only enabled the embed on a draft/preview theme, the Dashboard will still show **Deactivated** — that's expected, not an error. Clicking the card always opens the **live theme's** editor, not the draft.
