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. ### 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.
2. Make sure the AIME Live toggle is turned **on**.
3. Make sure you click ‘**save**’, then return to the AIME Live Dashboard in Shopify Admin to make your first Block. ### Create your first Block using the Block Editor 1. Create and customise your first recommendation Block using the **Block Editor**. You can create as many Blocks as you need and style them to suit your store design. Revisit and edit at any time. \ To open the Block Editor, use either the big pink/orange button at the top right-hand side of the AIME Live Dashboard, or the button in the 'Create a Block' modal.
2. Once in the Block Editor, use the pink '**+**' button or select '**Create New**' and follow the prompts to create a Block. 3. Make any customisations in the 'Customise' tab. 4. Once you're happy with your Block design, make sure you select '**save**' and close the Editor.

More detail on how to add a Block to your store can be found [here.](#add-a-block-to-your-store) # AIME Live Shopify Dashboard Learn about the AIME Live Dashboard and its features {% embed url="" %} *** When you navigate to the AIME Live app you will first see the Dashboard screen.\ \ From here you can select the "**Open Block Editor**" button to create and edit Blocks for your store.\ \ It also includes onboarding information and links to resources and support.
# The Block Editor Learn all about the AIME Live Block Editor and its features {% embed url="" %} ### What is the Block Editor? The AIME Live Block Editor is where merchants can create, edit and fully customize their AIME Live recommendation blocks for their online stores. The Editor exists as a way for merchants to ensure that AIME Live Blocks don't look out of place on their store. We noticed other recommendation apps on the market currently have a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to their recommendations and product cards, giving merchants little to no control over how they appear to shoppers. With AIME Live, shoppers will take notice of the hyper-personalised recommendations they generate during their experience because **they make sense for them**, not because of poorly designed, mismatched product cards that look like they don't belong. # My Blocks Get to know all about AIME Live Blocks {% embed url="" %} ### What is a 'Block'? A Block is an editable component that displays personalised product recommendations to shoppers based on what they interact with on your site. Blocks update dynamically based on real-time shopper behaviour, helping boost product discovery and drive conversion. Merchants can add them to their home page or product page using the Shopify Live Theme and arrange their placement like any other theme section. AIME Live Blocks are customisable with key settings available to adjust such as, headings, font styling, number of products, and overall product card styling.
# Creating a Block Learn how to create a new Block from either a preset Style or past Block design {% embed url="" %} *** 1. From the AIME Live Dashboard, select the '**Open Block Editor'** in the top right corner to open the Block Editor.
2. Once in the Block Editor click the pink '**+**' button in the bottom left corner to create a new Block.

Returning users can see their previously made Blocks in the 'My Blocks' tab

First time users who haven't made a Block yet can also use the
'Create New' button to start creating.

3. You will then be prompted to choose between starting a new Block from a Shopify Style, or from a past Block design. Select an option to continue.\ \ [Shopify Styles](/aime-live/quickstart-user-guides/the-block-editor/styles) are predesigned styles based off popular themes that help you quickly style your block with minimal-to-no customization required.\ If you've already created a Block design and you've customised it to suit your store, the best option is to use that styling going forward so you don't have to customise the full Block again.

Note: If you're a first time user of the Block Editor, you will not be able to
start a Block from a previous design. You must create one from a Shopify Style first.

4. If you selected '**Start from a Shopify Style'**, use the arrows to choose which Style you want to have applied to your Block. Use the pink '**Confirm**' to select.\ *(If you selected 'Start from a previous Block Design, skip to step 5)*
5. If you selected '**Start from a previous Block Design**', use the arrows to choose which previous Block design you want to copy and apply to your new Block. Use the pink '**Confirm**' to select.\ (**Tip**: to create a new Block from a past design, you can also use the ellipsis options menu on a Block in the 'My Blocks' tab and select '**duplicate**'. This will copy all styling on that Block to a new one that you can rename and continue making changes to.)
6. Once you've confirm your choice, create a name for your Block and click **'Confirm & create Block'**. Please note this is an internal name only, no shoppers will see it. It's the name you'll see when selecting which Block to apply to your store in the Shopify Theme Editor. Blocks can be renamed at a later stage if you wish, [see here](/aime-live/quickstart-user-guides/the-block-editor/my-blocks/renaming-a-block).

At the core of this AI-powered process are your store’s product tags. ### Why Product Tags Matter Product tags are a simple but powerful way to give AIME Live more context about your products. They provide signals that help Live’s AI engine understand the relationships between different items in your catalogue. When your products are consistently and accurately tagged, AIME Live can: * Match similar and complementary items more reliably * Improve cross-sell and serve smarter, more personalised recommendations * Adapt more effectively to customer behaviour patterns over time ### Crafting High-Impact Tags Make every tag count by following these guidelines: * Describe the Product. Focus on concrete details: *red, leather, oversized.* * Group Logically. Create tags that a customer would use to filter or search, like *gym-friendly or office wear.* * Avoid Temporary Info. Don't use tags for time-sensitive data like *sale* or *new arrivals.* Use collections for that instead. ### Suggested Tags to Include Add roughly 6–10 tags per product, covering: * **Material:** e.g. cotton, leather, wool-blend * **Style or silhouette:** e.g. oversized, cropped, slim fit, boho * **Occasion or use-case:** e.g. wedding guest, gym, everyday * **Seasonality:** e.g. winter, summer, transitional * **Key features:** e.g. pockets, adjustable straps, stretch * **Colours and tones:** e.g. sage green, neutral, bold prints The more information you can give Live through tags, the better your product blocks will perform. # Contact Support Need help?
