Hello Team,

 

I'm currently going through Klaviyo's product course in the Academy and i love it!

 

I would like to practice what i'm learning , but i currently don't own a ecommerce store with data / subscribers.

 

I'm curious to know what we could we do to make it work and use it without one?

 

Would you have some advices / alternatives for people who doesn't have ecommerce stores yet?

 

Thank you very much for your help

 

Kind regards

1. Check Placement of the Snippet:

  • Ensure you’re placing the snippet in the right section of your theme files. It should typically be in the theme.liquid file or within the product template file before the closing </body> tag, not within <style> tags.

2. Using Correct HTML Structure:

If the button IDs are unique, you may need to modify the snippet to accommodate these variations. Instead of targeting a specific ID, consider using a class selector that applies to all "Add to Cart" buttons. For example:
javascript

3. Ensure JavaScript is Enabled:

  • Make sure that JavaScript is enabled on your site and that there are no errors in the console that could prevent the script from running.

4. Test with a Simple Alert:

  • As a debugging step, replace your Klaviyo snippet temporarily with a

5. Klaviyo Tracking Script:

  • Confirm that the Klaviyo tracking script is properly installed on your site. If it’s not loading correctly, the custom events won’t work.

6. Consult Shopify’s Support:

  • If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to Shopify support or checking their forums. They may have specific guidance for the Colorblock theme.

7. Use Developer Tools:

  • Use the browser's developer tools (F12) to inspect the "Add to Cart" buttons and see if your script is attached correctly. You can also check for any JavaScript errors in the console.

8. Revisit Klaviyo’s Documentation:

  • Double-check the Klaviyo documentation for any specific instructions related to your theme or any updates that might apply.
