Bold Motivator only requires a liquid code installation if you are planning on offering a free gift to your customers while on the Premium Plan, or your theme uses an AJAX cart. With AJAX, a cart will update without going to the actual cart page. The liquid code will be needed to ensure the banner and free gift update correctly.

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

The ability to request a professional installation from our team
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.

Alert

If you are planning on offering free gifts to your customers, you will need to reach out to our Merchant Success team to enable a feature on the backend once the installation has been completed.

Alert

To maintain the security of your Shopify account, we ask that you do not proactively send us a staff account invite for access to your shop. Instead, our team will request collaborator access to your shop.

Manual Install

Step 1: Edit theme.liquid

Under Layout, select theme.liquid.

Copy and paste this code directly above the </head> tag:

{% if product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden == "true" %} <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> {% endif %}

copy and paste this code

Select Save.

Step 2: Edit collection.liquid

Under Templates, select collection.liquid.
Note: If your theme contains sections, you will instead need to select the collection-template.liquid section instead.
Find the following code:
```
{% for product in collection.products %}
```
Note: This line may appear more than once in the theme file. You will need to add the line of code for each instance. Can't find this code? Click here for additional help.

Copy and paste this code directly below each instance:

{% if product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden %}{% continue %}{% endif %}

Select Save.

Step 3: Edit index.liquid

Alert

If your theme does not have an index.liquid file, you can skip this step.

Under Templates, select index.liquid.
Find the following code:
```
{% for product in collection.products %}
```
Note: This line may appear more than once in the theme file. You will need to add the line of code for each instance. Can't find this code? Click here for additional help.

Copy and paste this code directly below each instance:

{% if product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden %}{% continue %}{% endif %}

Paste index code

Select Save.

Step 4: Edit related-products.liquid

Under Snippets, select related-product.liquid.
Note: If the theme does not have the file related-product.liquid, proceed to the next step.
Find the following code:
```
{% for product in collection.products %}
```
Note: This line may appear more than once in the theme file. You will need to add the line of code for each instance. Can't find this code? Click here for additional help.

Copy and paste this code directly below each instance:

{% if product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden %}{% continue %}{% endif %}

Paste related products code

Select Save.

Step 5: Edit search.liquid

Under Templates, select search.liquid.
Note: If you are not able to find this within the search.liquid file, you may find this code in a similarly titled file instead.
Find the following code:
```
{% for item in search.results %}
```
Note: This line may appear more than once in the theme file. You will need to add the line of code for each instance.

Copy and paste this code directly below each instance:

{% if item.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden %}{% continue %}{% endif %}

Paste search code

Select Save.

Step 6: Edit product.liquid

Under Templates, select product.liquid.
Note: If your theme contains sections, you will need to select the product-template.liquid section instead.

Paste this code at the top of the file:

{% if product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden %}{% break %}{% endif %}

Paste product code

Select Save.

Step 7: Edit cart.liquid

Under Templates, select cart.liquid.
Note: If your theme contains sections, you will instead have to look for this code within the cart-template.liquid under Sections.
Find a line that starts with <input, ends with />, and contains value="{{ item.quantity }}". Can't find this code? Click here for additional help.

Copy and paste:

{% if item.product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden == 'true'%} readonly {% endif %}

right before the />.

It will look similar to this:

<input value="{{ item.quantity }}" {% if item.product.metafields.inventory.ShappifyHidden == 'true'%} readonly {% endif %} />

Paste cart code

Select Save.
