What is the Wunderkind Shopify App?

The Wunderkind Shopify App provides the integration between Wunderkind and your Shopify Checkout Extensibility environment, allowing you to continue to support personalized abandonment sends to your customers. Currently in Beta, the app is "unlisted," meaning it’s not searchable on the Shopify App Store yet. This lets us gather feedback and improve before a public release. Listed or unlisted, both versions meet the same requirements for a great user experience.
 

Installing the Wunderkind Shopify App for Checkout

Please reach out to your Wunderkind point of contact if you have any questions. 

1. Install the App

• Upgrade to Checkout Extensibility if you have not already done so.
• Log into your Shopify Store.
• Navigate to the Wunderkind App listing at  https://apps.shopify.com/wunderkind.
• Install the application.

2. Log in to the App

• Use your Platform UI login credentials to log in. If you do not have a Platform account, reach out to your Wunderkind contact who can create an account for you.

4. Enable the Wunderkind feature toggle for Checkout Experience

•  
  • Enable the Checkout Experience toggle in your Wunderkind App Settings. To access these toggles, click on the “Apps” in the left hand navigation bar and select “Wunderkind”. 
    • The Wunderkind App homepage will load in Shopify. From there, click on the “Settings” option on the left hand side navigation bar under “Wunderkind” (not your Shopify settings).

Ensure that the toggles under product features have been checked appropriately.

•  

  • “Enable Checkout Experience” should be be checked. If it is not, please click on the checkbox to enable it. This is the only Wunderkind setting that should be enabled.

  • "Wunderkind Tag," "Enable Product Feeds" and "Enable Onsite Experience" should NOT be checked. These features only apply to clients who are using the full App experience.

Additional Information

Why does the Shopify app ask for "read_markets" permissions?

We are using the Shopify Markets permissions to support a few upcoming features. If you are unfamiliar with Shopify Markets, you can learn more about it in Shopify's documentation here.

When Wunderkind is running across multiple geographies (eg, country specific websites with distinct website IDs), the integration with Shopify Markets allows Wunderkind to continue to deliver geographic-specific experiences and ensures that we appropriately assign conversions to the appropriate websites.

If Wunderkind is not supporting multiple website IDs across your Shopify store, you do not need to grant these additional permissions. However, you may need to go back to enable it at a later date if you want to start using new features. Your Wunderkind contact will let you know if this is the case.
