App Blocks vs. App Snippets: How They Differ and When to Use Them

Updated yesterday

In Shopify, App Blocks and App Snippets are two different ways to integrate and display app functionalities within your store, but they serve different purposes and work differently.

Here's a quick breakdown of the differences between App Block and App Snippet:

  • App Blocks are more user-friendly, flexible, and customizable without needing to edit code, making them ideal for modern themes.

  • Ideal for modern Online Store 2.0 (OS 2.0) themes.

NOTE: Kiwi uses a sizing injector to move the size chart anywhere on the product page. You can learn more here: How to change where size chart shows on product page using Sizing Injection Selector?

  • App Snippets are code-based, static, and require manual placement in the theme, which might be better suited for older themes or specific customizations.


โš ๏ธ NOTE: Please contact our team if your app does not support App block, so we can add the snippets to your theme manually.
