Integrate AI Chatbot for Shopify
The Chatipod Shopify integration installs directly into your theme code no app store listing, no extra app slowing down your store.
Every Shopify App You Install Is Another Thing That Can Slow You Down
Merchants avoid installing more apps because each one adds page weight and another dashboard to manage even when what they actually need is simple: instant answers to "where's my order" and "do you have this in stock."
What the Chatipod Shopify Integration Actually Does
Chatipod doesn't live in the Shopify App Store. Instead, you paste one script directly into your theme's code, just above the closing </body> tag a two-minute edit inside Shopify's own code editor. That means no extra app entry in your admin, no app-related performance hit, and nothing to uninstall later beyond removing a few lines of code.
Setup Steps
That's the full AI chatbot for Shopify setup no app installation screen, no permissions to approve.
From your Shopify admin: Online Store → Themes.
On your current, published theme, click the ⋯ menu → Edit code.
In the file list, open layout/theme.liquid.
Find the closing </body> tag near the bottom, and paste your embed snippet just above it.
Click Save, then visit your live storefront to confirm the widget appears.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Chatipod Shopify integration is a direct theme code edit, not an App Store app you paste one script into theme.liquid and you're done.
No, as long as you paste the snippet exactly where instructed just above the closing </body> tag without removing any existing code. If you're ever unsure, duplicate your theme first as a backup before editing.
Switching themes replaces theme.liquid with the new theme's default version, which won't have your snippet. You'll need to re-paste it into the new theme's code.
No the script loads with the defer attribute, so it loads after your storefront's content, not before it.
Yes open theme.liquid again and delete the pasted lines. Since nothing else on your store depends on it, removal is just as simple as installation.
