Automatically placing App Block on the PDP page

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Main issue: A developer building a Shopify app wants a theme app block on the product detail page (PDP) to appear automatically directly under the size selector, without merchant manual placement.

Key questions:

  • Can theme app blocks be auto-positioned at a specific location (e.g., under the size selector), or must merchants add/place them via the Theme Editor?
  • If not possible with theme app blocks, is there an alternative method to include and auto-place a block/section on PDPs?

Latest update: A follow-up asks whether a solution was found.

Status: No solution or definitive guidance provided in the thread; the question remains open.

Notes: PDP = product detail page. No code or attachments were shared.

We are building a Shopify app which is using theme app block to show a section on the product details pages. This section is supposed to be automatically included underneath the size selector. Is there a way to automatically define a placement or is the expectation for the store owners to manual add the block using theme editor?

Is there another way to include a block on the product details pages which would allow us to do this, assuming that above is not possible?
