Setting up Badgely in two minutes

Install, create a badge and switch on the theme embed — the third step is the one people forget.

Badgely puts labels such as New, Sale or Low stock on top of your product images. It reads your catalogue, works out which products qualify, and hands your storefront one small file. Setup is three steps.

Without the third step nothing appears in your store. The app can be fully configured and still invisible, because the theme embed is what actually draws the badges.

How to check it worked

Open any collection page in your storefront. Badges appear on the product images within a second or two. In the app, the Getting started card shows when your storefront last requested badge data — that is direct proof the embed is live.

The embed is a theme app extension. Nothing is written into your theme files, so turning it off removes every badge instantly and leaves nothing behind.
