What you need
An Online Store 2.0 theme (any modern free or paid theme on the Shopify Theme Store).
The Yuko App embed enabled for your active theme. See Enable the Yuko App Embed.
For Checkout widgets: a Shopify Plus store. Shopify only allows checkout UI extension blocks on Shopify Plus.
For Yuko blocks in account pages: Shopify’s customer accounts (new customer accounts) enabled.
Theme requirements
Online Store 2.0
If your theme is an Online Store 2.0 theme it supports app blocks. Practically every theme published on the Shopify Theme Store in the last few years qualifies. Older custom themes may need to be upgraded by your developer. Quick check:1
Open the Theme Editor
Online Store → Themes → Customize on your active theme.
2
Look for Add block
Open any section. If you see an Add block option that lets you choose from Apps, you’re on Online Store 2.0.
Cart drawer vs cart page
Some themes use a cart drawer (slide-out) instead of a full cart page. Yuko’s Cart Earn and Cart Redeem widgets support both, but the placement options vary by theme. See each widget’s docs for theme-specific placement notes.Plan requirements
What if my store doesn’t qualify
- Older theme → upgrade to an Online Store 2.0 theme, or contact support.
- Not on Shopify Plus but want points around checkout → show earned points on the order status page with the Order Status Earn widget (needs Shopify’s customer accounts), and let customers redeem in the cart with Cart Redeem.
- Legacy customer accounts → either enable Shopify’s customer accounts or use the Yuko Rewards Landing Page as the loyalty hub.
