If the booking button isn't appearing on your product page and Sesami is set up correctly, you may need a manual installation — especially with third-party or custom themes.
Your theme is a third-party theme not available in the Shopify Theme Store
Your theme is heavily customized
Your theme is a legacy (pre-2.0) Shopify theme
The Sesami app embed isn't compatible with your theme's structure
Before manual installation, make sure you've completed the standard setup first. Most Shopify 2.0 themes work with the app embed without any code changes.
Start with the Sesami Experience Configurator to generate your booking snippet:
Configure your Shop ID, Service ID, experience version, and styling
Copy the generated <sesami-experience> snippet
Place the snippet in your product page template where you want the booking button to appear.
If the service uses Sesami Instant Booking, the snippet is self-contained — paste it and you're done. The full booking flow happens within the widget.
If the service uses Shopify checkout (add to cart), you'll need to integrate the snippet with your theme's cart and checkout functionality. This includes connecting the add-to-cart action and ensuring booking data flows through to the order.
For detailed integration instructions, refer to the Sesami Developer Docs. The dev docs cover:
Add-to-cart button integration
Showing date and time on the cart page
Disabling the add-to-cart button before a time is selected
Customizing the Sesami button style
Hiding the duration field from the product page
Multi-language storefront integration
We recommend using a Shopify theme from the official Shopify Theme Store. These themes follow Shopify's standardized structure and are fully compatible with Sesami's app embed.
