How can I limit the number of theme app blocks?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

  • Main issue: Limiting a Shopify theme app block to a single instance. Clicking the app’s deep link multiple times adds duplicate blocks.

  • Context: Theme app blocks are app-provided blocks added to a store’s theme; deep links open the Theme Editor and insert the block. The request is to enforce a one-per-theme limit for a specific app block.

  • Attempts/requests: Another participant asked if a solution existed. No alternative approaches or settings were suggested by others.

  • Current update: The original poster later confirmed they found no fix and could not limit the number of app blocks. No Shopify setting, app configuration, or workaround was identified, and no code or attachments were provided.

  • Outcome/status: No resolution or actionable steps emerged. The question of how to prevent multiple additions via deep link remains unanswered and the discussion is effectively unresolved.

Hi

Is there a way to limit the theme app block?
I only want 1 theme app block from the app that I installed.

Whenever I click the deep link multiple times, the theme app block is being added

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
I’m sorry, I don’t have a fix for this. We can’t really limit the number of app blocks.
