What Are App Embeds?

App embeds are powerful elements provided by Crush Suite that enhance your Shopify site without being visible to your customers. These elements either float or appear as overlays in your theme or add essential code to your online store. Through the theme editor, you can activate, deactivate, preview, and customize these app embeds to ensure your site remains compliant with wine sales regulations while maintaining a seamless customer experience.

Why Are App Embeds Important?

App embeds play a crucial role in keeping your Shopify store compliant with wine sales laws and regulations. They provide necessary functionality, such as verifying customer age and shipping eligibility, without disrupting the shopping experience. Proper use of app embeds ensures accurate information is displayed to customers, helping to prevent issues like incorrect shipping options and compliance violations.
