Hi there, I would like to embed the google map embed link to the footer without having to use an app.

I tried it and it displayed it but not in the right spot.
I’d like to display it in either one of these sections:

Go to your Online theme > Themes > Edit code > open footer.liquid file, add a new line in line 87, add this code

{%- when 'custom_liquid' -%}
  
    {{ block.settings.custom_liquid }}
  

Then go to the line around 427, add a new blank line, add this code

{
      "type": "custom_liquid",
      "name": "Custom liquid code",
      "settings": [
        {
          "type": "liquid",
          "id": "custom_liquid",
          "label": "Map",
          "info": "Add embed map code here"
        }
      ]
    },

After that, you can go to Online store > Themes > Customize > Footer > Add block > Custom liquid > add embeds map code.
