Display Loox widgets anywhere app blocks aren't available by adding the widgets via code.
The article below will walk you through the different Loox Widgets available for you to use and their unique characteristics.
When to add widgets via code vs. via app block
You might need to add widgets via code if:
1. you're on a vintage (Shopify 1.0) theme.
2. you're on a 2.0 theme but want to add the widget in a location where you can't use the Loox widget app block. For example- if you want to add the widget to a custom snippet, a collection card, or the cart drawer.
If you're on a 2.0 theme and have the option to do so in the location you want, use the widget's app block instead - it's easier to customize. Read more about adding widgets via app block.
Note: Settings like "Layout" and "Text" in your Shopify theme editor only apply to Loox app blocks. They do not affect widgets that were added via code.
