Follow these steps to resolve the issue quickly.


Troubleshooting Your Subscription Widget

If your Subi subscription widget isn’t appearing on your store, follow these checks to find the issue:

Widget Issue

Description

Wait for Installation

  • Ensure you've waited at least 1 minute after enabling the Subi App Embed for the widget to appear.

Product Added to Subscription Plan

  • Verify that the product is included in an active subscription plan in Subi.

Product Published

  • Make sure the product is not in draft mode and is available for purchase.

App Embed Enabled

  • Confirm that the Subi App Embed is turned on in your Shopify theme settings.

Theme Changes

  • App Embed should be enabled for each theme separately.

No Conflicts with Other Apps

  • Check if any other apps (like subscription, bundle, pre-order, or automatic discount apps) are interfering with the Subi widget.

Displaying Widget on Other Pages

  • If you're displaying the widget on the homepage, collection, or quick view pages, ensure these settings are enabled and you’re using an Online Store 2.0 theme.

Manual Installation

  • If the widget still isn't showing, manually add the Subi widget block to your product page.


1. Wait for Installation

After enabling the Subi App Embed, it may take up to 1 minute for the widget to appear. Ensure you’ve waited at least 1 minute for the widget to fully install before checking for further issues.


2. Check If the Product Is Added to a Subscription Plan

Verify that the product is added to an active subscription plan in Subi. Only products included in a subscription plan will display the widget.


3. Ensure Your Product Is Published (Not in Draft Mode)

Make sure the product you want to display the widget for is not in draft mode. If it's unpublished, the widget will not show. To check this:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Products.

  2. Ensure the product is published and available for purchase.


4. Confirm That the Subi App Embed Is Enabled

The Subi widget requires the Subi App Embed to function properly. To enable it:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes.

  2. Click Customize next to your live theme.

  3. In the left-hand menu, navigate to App Embed and ensure that the Subi App Embed is enabled.


5. Check for Theme Changes

If you've recently changed your theme, you must enable the Subi App Embed for each theme separately. Even if the theme is unpublished, you can still preview the widget by ensuring the app embed is turned on for that specific theme.


6. Ensure There Are No Conflicts with Other Apps

Other apps may conflict with the Subi widget. Common conflicting apps include:

  • Other subscription apps

  • Bundle apps

  • Pre-order apps

  • Back-in-stock apps

  • Automatic discount apps

  • Product option apps

If you suspect a conflict, ask Subi’s support team for assistance in sorting this out.


7. Are You Trying to Display the Widget on Other Pages?

If you are trying to display the widget on the homepage, collection pages, or quick view pages, make sure:

  1. You’ve enabled the option to display the widget on these pages.

  2. Your store is using an Online Store 2.0 theme for full compatibility.

To enable this, go to Subi Panel > Widget Tab and make sure the widget options for home, collection, and quick view pages are turned on.


8. Manually Install the Widget

If the widget still doesn’t appear, you can manually add it to your product page by following these steps:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes.

  2. Click Customize next to your live theme.

  3. Open the Product Template from the top menu.

  4. In the Product Information section, click Add Block.

  5. Search for Subi and select the Subi Widget Wrapper Block.

  6. Drag the block to your preferred location on the product page.

For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the manual installation guide.
