Each check tells you where to look, what a healthy store looks like, and what to do if something is missing. ### Check 1: The theme extension is enabled on your live theme The theme extension is what lets Elevate change prices, images, content, and custom code on the page. Without it, those experiment types cannot run. 1. In Shopify admin, go to **Online Store > Themes**. 2. On your live theme, select **Customize**. 3. In the left panel, open **App embeds**. 4. Find **Elevate** in the list. **What you should see:** Elevate appears in the app embeds list with its toggle switched on. **If the toggle is off:** Switch it on and select **Save**. **If Elevate does not appear in the list at all:** The app is not installed on this store, or the install did not complete. Open Elevate from your Shopify admin and follow the onboarding prompts. The extension is enabled per theme. Enabling it on one theme does not enable it on any other theme in your store. ### Check 2: The Web Pixel is registered The Web Pixel is what records visitor behavior: page views, add to carts, checkouts, and purchases. Without it, experiments run but collect no results. 1. In Shopify admin, go to **Settings > Customer events**. 2. Look for the Elevate pixel in the list of app pixels. **What you should see:** An Elevate pixel listed and connected. **If it is missing:** Open the Elevate app. The pixel is registered automatically, and opening the app triggers a check. Return to **Customer events** and refresh. ### Check 3: An experiment serves correctly The first two checks confirm the components exist. This one confirms they work together. Set one experiment to Preview and view your storefront to confirm each variation appears as expected. **What you should see:** The control looks like your normal storefront. Each variation shows the change you configured, and only that change. **If both variations look identical:** See Common problems below. Once you have confirmed both variations, you can launch the experiment. ### After you publish a new theme Publishing a different theme is the most common reason a working experiment stops collecting data. The theme extension is a per theme setting, so it does not carry across when you publish a new theme. Run Check 1 on the new theme immediately after publishing, and re enable the extension if it is off. Until it is enabled, on page experiment types do not run and no data is collected for them. ### Common problems | Symptom | Likely cause | How to confirm | Fix | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | No data at all on any experiment | Web Pixel is not registered | Run Check 2 | Open the Elevate app to trigger registration | | Price, image, or content experiments show no change | Theme extension is off on the live theme | Run Check 1 | Enable the extension and save | | Everything stopped working after a theme change | The new theme does not have the extension enabled | Run Check 1 on the newly published theme | Enable the extension on the new theme | | Redirect experiments work but on page experiments do not | Redirect types do not need the extension, on page types do | Run Check 1 | Enable the extension | | Changes appear in the theme customizer but not on the live store | You are previewing rather than viewing the storefront | Open your store URL directly in a new tab | View the live storefront, not the customizer | | Changes appear on the storefront but not in the theme customizer | Expected behavior. Elevate does not run inside the theme editor. | Open your store URL directly | No action needed | | Some visitors see the change and others do not | Expected behavior. Traffic is split between variations. | Check the traffic allocation on the experiment | No action needed | | An experiment is running but shows zero visitors | Audience targeting is excluding all traffic, or traffic allocation is set to zero for that variation | Open the experiment and review its audience and allocation settings | Adjust targeting or allocation | ### Still not working If all three checks pass and an experiment still is not behaving as expected, contact support through live chat in the Elevate app or at . Include your store URL, the experiment name, which theme you are on, and what you expected to see.
