Bold Memberships requires our Liquid code installation to function correctly on your store.

We offer a few different options to help you complete this installation on your store:

  1. The ability to request a professional installation from our team
  2. A step-by-step guide on completing this manually

Before you start, we highly recommend creating a Duplicate version of your Shopify theme to ensure you have a copy without our code installation.

 

 

Request a Bold Memberships Install

  1. From the Bold Memberships admin, select More.

    From the Memberships admin, click More

  2. Select Liquid Instructions.

    Click Liquid Instructions

  3. Under Option 2, select Yes Please. Install it for me!

    Click Install It For Me

  4. Select the theme you would like us to install the app's code on. You can also specify any additional comments in the Do you have any other questions or comments? text field.

    Select Your Theme

  5. Select Looks Good! Send Away!

Completing these steps will trigger our automatic installer to run on your store.

If your current theme is not compatible with our automatic installation tool, the app will automatically notify you. If this happens, you can rollback your theme to its previous state.

When the installation has not been completed in full, reverting the changes will automatically create an installation request for our team to assist you further.
