  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
  2. On your current theme, click Customize.
  3. Open App embeds.
  4. Switch on PixelChat.
  5. Click Save.
The PixelChat app embed, switched on

Viewing a development store

Development stores are password-protected. To see the chat, preview the storefront while you're logged in to your Shopify admin.
