If your customers are logged into your Shopify store, you have the option to push attributes (dynamic variables) to the widget. View attributes
When logged-in customers reach that page, they won't need to provide their email and name. The system will automatically push those variables to the widget for them. You could even place this on a page that only logged-in customers can access if you want to restrict your referral program only to those with store accounts.
Note: Using customer-specific dynamic variables such as name and email address may or may not work depending on your Shopify theme or your page builder app.
Other platforms
For other platforms, just insert the code snippet into your store's page by pasting it just before the HTML </body> tag. You also have the option to place it anywhere on your site, or add a new page dedicated for the signup widget.
Adding the widget to your customer's account page
To implement this for your store, paste the code snippet into your store's Customer Account Page. Add in the corresponding attributes so that the widget automatically reflects the customer's referral sharing options. View attributes
Widget attributes
Below are the attributes you can add/change:
Note (Shopify): Using customer-specific dynamic variables such as name and email address may or may not work depending on your Shopify theme or your page builder app.
data-height: Height of the sharing panel in pixels or percentage
data-width: Width of the sharing panel in pixels or percentage
Note: use 100% if you want the panel to be responsive to the width of the browser (e.g.: for mobile)
data-email: Specify this attribute (e.g.: data-email="john@example.com") to display the sharing panel for a specific customer. Leave this attribute out to display a view similar to your Advocate Join Page.
Shopify:
data-email="{{customer.email}}"
data-fname: (only if data-email is specified) First name of customer (e.g. data-fname="John")
Shopify:
data-fname="{{customer.first_name}}"
data-lname: (only if data-email is specified) Last name of customer (e.g. data-lname="Smith")
Shopify:
data-lname="{{customer.last_name}}"
data-locale: (only for accounts with multiple languages) Specify this attribute to display the widget using the correct theme based on locale (e.g. data-locale=”fr”)
If you are using the data-email, data-fname, or data-lname attributes, be sure to generate the values dynamically to match the customer logged in to your store.
