An introduction to extensions

ShopWired extensions allow you to extend the functionality of your website. All of our extensions are free of charge to use.

You can view the available extensions in ShopWired within your account by selecting 'apps & extensions' from the left menu and then 'available extensions'.

Each extension needs to be activated and requires you to make some changes to your theme's files in order for it to start working on your website.

Making changes to your theme requires you to edit your theme's files, using the page editor.

Whilst full instructions and guidance are supplied on the help guide for each extension, you may have difficulty in installing the necessary code, particularly if you don't have any experience with HTML coding.

We are happy to install extensions for you, but we will make a charge for the necessary coding work and time involved. The installation cost is displayed on the extension page within your ShopWired account.

If you're using a Version 3 or Version 4 theme the following extensions do not require coding to work

If you're not using an upgrade Version 3 or 4 theme you will need to add code to your theme for these extensions to work.
