Initial Setup
Before creating your first service, complete two things: enable the app embed in Shopify so the widget displays on your storefront, and configure General Settings for your store.
Activate widget — Enable app embed in Shopify
For the Booknatic widget to display on your storefront, the app embed must be active in your theme.
- Go to Shopify admin → Online Store → Themes → Customize.
- Click the App embeds icon in the left sidebar (puzzle piece).
- Find Booknatic in the list → toggle it on.
- Click Save in the top right.
After enabling the app embed, go to the Booknatic Home page and check the Widget Status area:
- If it shows
Active→ the widget is working. - If you see a yellow banner "Widget is not active yet" → click Active widget.
General Settings
Go to Settings → General settings.
Field | Description |

Day format | Date format on the widget & emails (e.g., |
