## Onboarding Process

AIME Live creates hyper-personalised recommendations for your stores online shopping experience and these appear in what we call ***Blocks.*** The design of Blocks can be fully customised to suit your store look and feel and can be placed anywhere you like on your home page and product pages.&#x20;

In order for your Blocks to be added and show properly on your store, the AIME Live app needs to be activated via the Shopify Theme Editor.&#x20;

### Activate App Embed

1. Open your store’s Theme Editor (Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes > Customise) and click on the ‘**App Embeds**’ tab in the left sidebar.&#x20;
