What happens to RecoMelon when you change Shopify themes

Theme changes and RecoMelon behavior

RecoMelon remains installed at the app level, but Shopify theme-level configuration can differ by theme copy. After a theme switch, you should re-validate setup.

What to check after switching themes

1. Enable RecoMelon in App Embeds for the new active theme.
2. Re-add or verify PDP recommendation blocks in the correct template.
3. Save and validate on live product pages.

Why this is necessary

Shopify stores embed toggles and block placements at the theme/template layer. Switching themes can reset or remove those placements.

Validation checklist

• PDP recommendations visible on top traffic products.
• No layout conflicts on desktop or mobile.
• Analytics events flowing after switch.

If recommendations do not appear

• Re-confirm App Embeds are active.
• Confirm block placement on active template.
• Hard refresh and retest in incognito.
