Hi There
I was following this tutorial https://shopify.dev/tutorials/add-an-app-snippet-to-your-app, not sure why i can’t see Add Snippet in my Extensions > Online store.
Do you know why?
Topic summary
Integrating an app-provided Liquid snippet/section into a Shopify product page via the Online Store app extension. The app created a snippet and a section with basic Liquid (
{{ product.title }}
), enabled the Online Store extension, installed the app on a test store, and inserted a {% render ‘shopify://apps/…’ %} reference in the product template. Despite this, nothing renders, including when tested on the Sections-compatible Debut theme.A second participant, following Shopify’s “Add an app snippet to your app” tutorial, cannot see the “Add Snippet” option under Extensions > Online store and asks why.
A third participant asks if a solution was found. No fix, decisions, or workarounds are shared; the thread remains unresolved.
Key concepts: Liquid (Shopify’s templating language), snippet/section (theme components used to render app content), and app extension (mechanism for apps to add assets to the Online Store).
References to Shopify dev docs/tutorials are central to the issue. Open questions: why the snippet/section fails to render and why the “Add Snippet” option is missing.
