Getting Started: Installing & Activating Your Announcement Bar

How to install Oxify Announcement Bar, turn on the App Embed in your theme, and understand your dashboard.

Two steps before your announcement bar can show up on your store.

1. Install the app

  • Install Oxify Announcement Bar from the Shopify App Store.

  • Approve the permissions.

  • That's it — but nothing shows on your store yet.

2. Turn on the App Embed

  • Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize (on your live theme).

  • Click App embeds in the left sidebar.

  • Turn on Oxify Announcement Bar.

  • Click Save.

Without this step, your bar will never show — even if it's published.

Check it worked

  • Open your Oxify dashboard.

  • Look for Theme store app embed — it should say On (green).

  • Still Off? Make sure you saved the theme editor and edited your live theme, not a draft.

Your dashboard, quickly

  • Announcements summary — how many you have, active vs draft.

  • Analytics — views/clicks, last 7 days vs previous 7 days.

  • App embed status — On/Off badge + button to fix it.

  • Announcements table — publish/unpublish, edit, delete.

Still not showing?

  • App embed On, on your live theme?

  • Clicked Save in the theme editor?

  • At least one announcement actually Published (not just Saved)?

  • Try a private/incognito window in case you dismissed it while testing.
