Shopify Auto Install

Written by Aldin Rey

This guide walks you through how to automatically install your ViralSweep campaign as a Full Page or Widget on your Shopify store.

If you’re looking to install a Lightbox, please use our Shopify Manual Installation guide instead.


Before You Start

There are a couple of important things to know:

  • Auto-install only works on new pages
    If the page already exists in Shopify, you’ll need to delete it first before proceeding.

  • Installing on an existing page with content?
    Use the manual installation method instead.


Step 1: Install the ViralSweep Shopify App

Before installing your campaign, make sure the ViralSweep app is installed in your Shopify store.

👉 Install the ViralSweep Shopify App

If you’ve already installed the app, you can skip this step.


Step 2: Install Your Campaign

To install your campaign on your Shopify store:

  1. In ViralSweep, click the Install button on your campaign

  2. Select Shopify as your platform

  3. Choose one of the following:

    • Install Full Page (creates a standalone landing page)

    • Install Widget (embeds into a Shopify page)

  4. Click Auto-Install

  5. Enter a page name (for example: sweepstakes)

ViralSweep will:

  • Automatically create the page in Shopify

  • Add the required code

  • Publish the campaign to that page


What happens next?

Once installed:

  • Your campaign will be live on the new Shopify page

  • You can edit or preview the page directly within Shopify

  • Any updates made in ViralSweep will reflect automatically


Troubleshooting

The install didn’t work or the page already exists

  • Delete the existing page in Shopify

  • Run the auto-install again

I want to install on a page with existing content

  • Use the manual installation method instead

The "Add page" button does nothing at all

  • Make sure the ViralSweep Shopify App is installed in your store first — Auto Install requires the app to be active and connected.

  • If the app is already installed and the button still does nothing, contact our support team via the chat icon below.
