Manual Integration for Vintage Themes

Using a vintage or heavily customized theme that doesn’t support app blocks? No problem—you can still use Subcollection Category Surf by embedding a snippet manually.

Here’s how:

- In your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code.

- Find the collection.liquid or relevant custom template file where you want the subcollections to appear.

- Paste the following snippet where you'd like the block to show:

liquid:
{% render 'subcollection-category-surf' %}

- Save the changes.

- Go back to the app and ensure you’ve configured collection mapping.

⚠️ Note: If your theme doesn’t use collection.liquid or uses custom section files, the location may vary. Always back up your theme before making edits.

If you're unsure where to place the snippet, just reach out to our support team. We're happy to help place the block correctly for your theme.
