Select save changes and check that your website is still displaying properly. If the display of your website has been adversely affected you should revert to a previous version of the master.twig file and try again.
Installing the code on your checkout
ShopWired's platform checkout feature is independent of your website's theme and so the code needs to be added separately.
Navigate to the checkout configuration page within your account by selecting 'checkout' from the left menu and then 'platform checkout'. Next, scroll to the 'advanced customisation' section.
Enter both sets of code provided by Google (the code that should go in the head section and the code that should go after the body tag into the Custom JavaScript field.
Click to save your changes.
