How Nosto modifies your theme

Attention: This is our old approach, and not available anymore for merchants who install Nosto in May 2024 or later!

Upon installing the Nosto for Shopify app, choosing a theme to edit, Nosto amends the core theme file called layout/theme.liquid and amends it to include the Nosto tagging snippet. To better understand snippets and the Shopify theme structure, we recommend reading Shopify's theme development guide.

Amendments to include the Nosto tagging

Nosto amends the core theme file (layout/theme.liquid) to include the Nosto semantic markup snippet using the following include:

{% render 'nosto-tagging' %}

A corresponding snippet file named nosto-tagging.liquid is uploaded to the snippets directory of your theme. The snippet contains all the Liquid templates needed to render markup that gives Nosto insights into the page context.
