Theme app extensions allow you to easily add dynamic elements to your themes without interacting with Liquid templates or code. For example, dynamic elements can include product reviews, prices, ratings, or interactive 3D models of products. Theme app extensions can integrate with Online Store 2.0 themes, such as the default Dawn theme, which is Shopify's Online Store 2.0 reference theme.

Designing for the best merchant experience

Apps built in the theme app extension framework don't edit theme code, which decreases the risk of introducing breaking changes to the theme, makes it easier to iterate on the content of the integration, and provides for a better merchant experience.

Merchants can use the theme editor to configure exposed settings and add app blocks in theme sections for precise positioning in a page's layout.

Benefits of using theme app extensions

Theme app extensions automatically expose code in the theme from the editor. You can leverage the editor’s visual editing capabilities.
