Storefronts using Vintage (1.0) Themes

A newer version of these instructions is available.

This article describes an older solution that is compatible with storefronts that are not built with a Shopify 2.0 theme.

If possible, you should use the current instructions instead.

Older Shopify storefront themes may not support all the latest Customization features or the Stage TEN Theme App Extension. In these cases, you may need to add a player embed to your storefront manually, or with the older instructions.

These older instructions have been preserved here.

Obtain Live Channel ID

The Live Channel Embed src is a URL unique to each Stage TEN account. Once the new Stage TEN section has been created for the store, we will use it there.

  1. Go to the Stage TEN Sales Channel.

  2. Locate Channel ID: within the Stage TEN Connection section.

  3. Click Copy and paste this information somewhere where it is easily accessible for later.

Create New Section

  1. In the empty section, paste the following code, then click Save.
