How to Use Grove on an Unpublished Theme

Grove is an app that enhances the functionality of your Shopify store. In this article, we will explore how you can use Grove with an unpublished theme. We will cover everything from understanding themes on Shopify to testing Grove on your unpublished theme and eventually moving it to your live theme.

1. What is Grove?

Grove is an app designed to improve the appearance and user experience of your Shopify store. It offers various features and customization options to make your store unique and appealing to customers.

2. How to Use Grove with an Unpublished Theme

2.1 Understanding Themes on Shopify

Before we dive into using Grove with an unpublished theme, let's understand what themes are on Shopify. A theme is a template that defines how your store looks and feels. Different themes offer different styles, layouts, and user experiences. Grove works with any theme on Shopify, and you can check out the list of recommended themes on our website.

2.2 Recommended Themes for Grove

While Grove is compatible with any theme, certain themes are better suited for optimal compatibility and enhanced features. We have curated a list of recommended themes that work seamlessly with Grove, ensuring the best user experience for your customers.

2.3 Compatibility with Shopify Online Store 2.0

Grove is fully compatible with Shopify Online Store 2.0. This means you can add up to 20 themes to your online store. However, only one theme can be published at a time. A published theme is the live theme that your customers can see on your online store.

2.4 Publishing and Unpublishing Themes

Publishing a theme is a straightforward process. From the Shopify admin panel, go to the Themes section, find the desired theme in the Theme Library, and click Publish. This will make the theme live and visible to your customers.

On the other hand, when you have an unpublished theme, it will appear in the Theme Library under the Unpublished Themes section. You can switch between published and unpublished themes as per your requirements.

2.5 Disabling Apps on Unpublished Themes

When integrating apps into an unpublished theme, it's essential to remember that the apps will still be active and functional on every theme on your site, including your live theme. However, if you're not ready to launch a particular app feature, you can easily disable it.

For example, to disable the rewards program offered by Grove, simply go to the Rewards section and click on the green button to disable the app. Similarly, you can disable specific reward programs within their respective pages in the admin panel.

2.6 Disabling Reward Notifications and Emails

Grove provides various reward notifications and emails to engage and inform your customers. However, when you have an unpublished theme, you may want to avoid sending these notifications. You can disable the reward emails one by one by editing them in the respective section of the admin panel.

Alternatively, you can modify the settings of the Grove app to restrict the rewards program to certain users, such as your team members. This allows you to test the program while keeping it hidden from your customers.

3. Testing Grove with an Unpublished Theme

3.1 Disabling Review Request Emails

While your theme is unpublished, it's advisable to disable review request emails. These emails are sent to customers who complete their purchases. To disable these emails, go to the Review section in the admin panel, open Review Emails, and pause the sending of review requests.

3.2 Testing Grove App on Unpublished Theme

Once you have taken the necessary steps to disable certain features and emails, you can start testing the Grove app on your unpublished theme. Rest assured that this will not affect your customer experience on the live site.

Experiment with different settings, layouts, and designs to ensure Grove is functioning as expected and enhancing the appearance and usability of your store.

3.3 Ensuring No Impact on Live Site

Throughout the testing phase, it's crucial to ensure that any changes or customization you make to the unpublished theme using Grove do not impact the live site. Double-check all settings and configurations to avoid any unexpected issues when the feature is moved to the live theme.

4. Moving Grove to Live Theme

Once you're satisfied with the performance of Grove on your unpublished theme, it's time to move the app to your live theme and launch your programs.

4.1 Publishing the Theme

The first option to move Grove to your live theme is to publish the theme where you have integrated the Grove app. To do this, go to the Themes section of Shopify, find the desired theme in the Theme Library, and click Publish. This will make the integrated Grove app visible on your storefront.

4.2 Requesting Reintegration of Grove App

Alternatively, you can request the reintegration of the Grove app from the unpublished theme to your active live theme. To do this, navigate to the Grove Admin Panel dashboard, click on the Active Theme section, and choose the live theme. Don't forget to click Save.

After selecting your live theme, click on the Request Integration link below. This will send a request to our support team to perform the integration of Grove with your live theme.

4.3 Notification of Integration Completion

Once your request for integration is submitted, our Grove support team will review and process it. We will notify you once the integration is complete, ensuring that the Grove app seamlessly appears on your storefront in conjunction with your live theme.

5. Conclusion
