# How to enable Subscribee on your theme

Before any customer can see your subscription widget on a product page, you need to activate Subscribee's app embed inside your Shopify theme. This is a one-time step, but it is required. Without it, the widget will not appear on your store, even if your offers are set up correctly.

This is also the most common reason merchants contact us saying their widget is not showing. Save yourself the trouble and do this right after creating your first offer.

## Step-by-Step: Activate the App Embed

### Go to the Subscribee Dashboard

Open **Apps** in your Shopify admin and click on **Subscribee**. On the Dashboard, find the card labeled **"Enable the widget on your store"** and click **Enable widget**.

Clicking this button takes you directly to your Shopify theme editor with the Subscribee App Embed already pre-selected. No searching required.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Turn the Toggle ON

In the theme editor, look for **Subscribee** in the **App Embeds** section on the left panel. Click the toggle to turn it **ON**. The toggle will turn blue when active.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save Your Theme

Click the **Save** button in the top-right corner of the theme editor. Your subscription widget is now live across all product pages that have an active offer linked to them.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Important Notes

{% hint style="info" %}
**Widget still not showing after enabling the embed?** Make sure you saved the theme after toggling it on. Also confirm there is an active offer linked to the product you are testing on. See [Why the widget is not Showing](/subscribee/faq/why-the-widget-is-not-showing.md) for a full troubleshooting checklist.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Using more than one Shopify theme?** You will need to enable the App Embed separately in each theme. The embed setting is per theme, not per store.
{% endhint %}
