Before Getting Started 

You will first need to create a pop-up in your Sendlane account. 

Also, be sure to integrate Shopify and Sendlane if your store isn't connected yet!

Locating the Code for your Pop-up

1. Navigate to Pop-ups using the left side navigation bar from your dashboard.
2. Click on the three dots next to the pop-up form that you would like to add to your Shopify store. From the dropdown selection, click on GET CODE

   

3. This will bring up a pop-up of the code you need to add directly to your Shopify Store.

Adding your Pop-up code to Shopify

1. Once you login to your Shopify store, navigate to the Themes section under Online Store. 

   

2. Click on the Actions dropdown in the Live Theme area and select Edit code. 

3. This will bring you to a file that contains all of the code to your Shopify store. Click on the Sections folder and locate the header.liquid file. Open this file.

4. Copy the code for your form from the Published screen. For pop-up and banner form types, paste the code inside the <header> or <footer> tags. For inline forms, paste the code inside the parent tags in your desired location.

5. Click Save and you are all set! Open your Shopify store to view the pop-up that will appear when a contact visits your store.
