# Enable the app on your theme \[MANDATORY]

### App embeds vs. Add block

Only theme 2.0 online stores support the add block method. The difference of the two methods is the way of placing the form. The app embeds method looks for your buy buttons and positions itself. The add block allows you to drag and drop your app on your product page and you decide its position.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you use app embeds and hide the buy buttons, the app cannot find its position since it is specifically looking  for buy buttons. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
It is better to use only one method at the same time. It is suggested to enable the app with one option only. 
{% endhint %}

### App embeds

{% hint style="info" %}
This method puts the app above the buy buttons by default unless you select to keep the buy buttons. In that case, it puts the form above the buy button by default. 
{% endhint %}

1. Go into your **Shopify admin dashbord**
2. On the left-hand panel, click on **Online Store** 
3. Click on **themes**
4. In the center panel click on **Customize** to go into the theme editor
