Connect your theme

Choose the theme in Online Store → Themes before editing. Start with an unpublished copy; saving that copy does not update your published store.

Waiting-room protection

1. Open the chosen theme in Shopify’s theme editor.
2. Open App embeds and turn on QueueFront protection.
3. Save the theme. Choose protected products, collections, or storefront scope inside QueueFront; the embed has no settings of its own.
4. Preview a page covered by the room. Check both the room experience and the separate checkout checks in the app.

The Enable in Shopify shortcut opens the embed on your published theme. For a test theme, open the intended copy from Themes instead. Automatic connection status checks the published theme; a manually confirmed test theme is different evidence.

To disable the embed, switch it off and save. This does not pause the waiting room or disable checkout validation. Manage room state in QueueFront separately.

Product signup form

The QueueFront waitlist block needs an Online Store 2.0 product template and a section that accepts app blocks. Vintage themes cannot use this block.

1. In the theme editor, select the product template assigned to your target product.
2. In a compatible section, choose Add block → Apps → QueueFront waitlist.
3. Drag the block to position it. Select it to adjust labels, heading, message, product image, and accent color.
4. Preview the product and save. Configure the matching waiting list and sender settings in QueueFront before accepting signups.

Blank heading, message, and button overrides use the waiting-list copy from QueueFront. Check other products sharing the template. To remove the form, select Remove block and save; existing subscribers and list state stay separate.

Optional page card

QueueFront page is a display card for a compatible Online Store 2.0 section. Add it from Apps, set the event name, message, displayed status, waiting-room URL, and accent, then preview and save. Its displayed status is manual; it does not change the room. Keep the optional VIP action off unless that separate flow has been verified. Reposition or remove it like any app block.

If the block is missing

Confirm you are editing a product template in a section that supports app blocks. The protection embed lives in App embeds, not Add block. If compatibility is unclear, ask your theme developer or QueueFront support.
