If you are using any Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme that supports the app blocks, you need to make sure Sesami blocks are activated on your theme so your customers can book appointments from the storefront:
Step 1: Embed the Sesami app:
- In the Shopify navigation menu, click on Online Store > Theme > Customize
- At the left side of the page, click on the icon "App embeds" and enable Sesami
*This will load Sesami resources on your storefront and lets Sesami make sure appointments are still available while in the cart: Cart Verification Script - Click on Save in the top right corner
- In the Shopify navigation menu, click on Online Store > Theme > Customize
- At the bottom of the page, click on Theme settings > App embeds
This will load Sesami resources on your storefront and lets Sesami make sure appointments are still available while in the cart: Cart Verification Script - Click on Save in the top right corner
Step 2: Add the Sesami block:
- At the left side of the page again, click on the first icon, "Sections"
- In the navigation menu at the top center, use the dropdown menu to select Products > Default product
- Then go to the section Product information > Click on + add block
- Add the Sesami booking button
Important note!
The Buy Button must be added (do not hide) to the Product Information (Theme) settings.
If you do not want the "add to cart" button to be visible and you want the service to be
automatically added to the cart or to skip the cart page (directing to the checkout page),
this setting must be made in the Sesami button options.
This is a quick view of the level of customizations you can do with our app section:
You can change the button label, format, size, relocating, colors...
After you finish customizing, click on Save in the top right corner.
Note!
If you already had Sesami in your store and you are changing the theme to Shopify Online Store 2.0, after you have successfully enabled Sesami blocks, please click on "I have enabled Sesami blocks" below to let us know we can remove the old integration:
