How to integrate Okendo with Boost AI Search & Discovery

This feature only works with Boost AI Search & Discovery V2 and above. To find out which version of our app your store's current theme is installed with, please follow this article.

1
Install Okendo to your Shopify store's apps.
2

Go to Boost AI Search & Discovery  > Tool > Integration > Select Product reviews tab.

3
Toggle ON the Okendo integration > Select Ok, integrate now.

Note: Please be aware that within each 3rd-party app integration category, only one app can be active at a time. Therefore, if you'd like to integrate another 3rd-party product reviews app, it's recommended to manually toggle OFF this app to avoid any conflict > Select Remove to confirm your action.

💪 In other case, even without toggling off the integration, when you enable another app within the same category, the previously active app will be automatically disabled after your confirmation.

âš  Please continue following these steps below only if you're using our app's V3 and just in case the automatic integration process does not work for your store after finishing the previous steps.

4
Go to Sync tab > Overview > select Sync recent updates.

5
Go back to Shopify Admin > Sales channels > Online Store > Themes > Find the theme you are working on > Customize.
6
In the Shopify Theme editor > From the left sidebar, select  App embeds > Toggle ON the 3rd app you'd like to integrate. 

At step 6, if you do not find the 3rd-party app in the App embeds' list, no worries, just move on to step 7. Learn more about Shopify's App embeds here

Go to Boost AI Search & Discovery > Theme > Find the theme you are working on > Action > Edit visual design
