# Enable the app embed

Turn on the AWE app embed in your theme so effects can show.

Nothing the app does reaches your storefront until the **app embed** is on in your theme. It's a one-time step right after installing.

## 🛠️ Steps

{% step %}

### Open the setup guide

In the app, go to **Home**. In the **Setup guide**, open **Turn on the app embed** and click **Turn on app embed**.

→ *You can also click **Activate** on the "AWE Seasonal Effects is not activated yet." banner.*
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open your theme editor

Click **Open theme editor**. Your live theme opens in a new tab, on **App embeds**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Come back to the app

Return to the app tab — the status updates on its own and the step is ticked.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The app checks your **published** theme. If you switch to a new theme, turn the app embed on in that theme too.
{% endhint %}

## How to tell the embed is off

* **Home** shows the banner *"AWE Seasonal Effects is not activated yet."*
* **Campaigns** shows *"Nothing is showing on your storefront"* and an **Embed required** button.
* The editor **Preview** says *"App embed is off — a real shopper would see none of this"*.

A campaign can say **Active** while the embed is off, but shoppers see nothing. Click **Activate** (Home) or **Turn it on** (Campaigns) to fix it.
