Shopify Installation
Install the localbot form on your Shopify store through the theme editor.
Install the localbot form on your Shopify store by editing the theme code.
Before you install the localbot form
If this site already has a working contact form, add localbot as another notification recipient first. The current form's email notifications can go to localbot with zero install friction. The full localbot form can be installed later and also takes about ten minutes.
Use this guide when you want localbot to provide the better intake form on the website instead of relying on a static contact page form. The localbot form should get more inbound contact requests from the visitors already on the site.
Time: About 10 minutes
Install the localbot form
Open the theme code editor
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes. Click the ⋯ menu on your active theme and select Edit code.
Edit theme.liquid
In the left sidebar, open the Layout folder and click theme.liquid. Scroll to the bottom of the file and find the </body> tag. Paste the embed code directly above it:
<script src="https://www.localbot.io/api/widget/YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>
</body>Save
Click Save. The localbot form is now active across your entire store.
Verify
Open your Shopify store in a browser. The localbot form should appear. Submit a test message and check your phone.
Troubleshooting
- Can't find theme.liquid: Make sure you're in the Layout folder, not Sections or Templates.
- localbot form doesn't appear: Clear your browser cache or try an incognito window. Shopify aggressively caches pages.
- Want it on specific pages only: Add the
<div id="localbot-contact"></div>to a specific template instead. See the HTML guide.
