Before You Begin

Before installing any PantherCodX app, make sure you have:

  • A Shopify store (any plan — Basic, Shopify, Advanced, or Plus)
  • Admin access to your store (staff accounts need "Apps" permission)
  • A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)

All our apps are installed through the Shopify App Store and follow Shopify's standard installation flow.

Step 1: Install the App

1

Find the App

Go to the Shopify App Store and search for the app name, or use the direct install link from our website or your welcome email.

2

Click "Add App"

On the app listing page, click the green "Add app" button. You'll be redirected to your Shopify admin to authorize the app.

3

Review & Install

Shopify shows which permissions the app needs. Each app only requests the minimum permissions necessary. Click "Install app" to confirm.

About Permissions

We follow the principle of least privilege — each app only requests the data access it needs to function. You can review permissions anytime in Shopify Admin > Settings > Apps and sales channels.

Step 2: Activate the App

After installation, most apps need to be activated in your theme:

1

Open Theme Customizer

Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize on your active theme.

2

Enable App Embed

In the left sidebar, click "App embeds" (bottom of the list). Find the PantherCodX app and toggle it ON.

3

Save

Click "Save" in the top-right corner. The app is now active on your storefront.

Not all apps need this step

Some apps may not require theme activation if they work entirely in the backend. The app dashboard will tell you if this step is needed.

Step 3: Basic Configuration

Every app has an onboarding wizard that walks you through the essential settings. Here's what to expect:

  • Stok — configure notification channels (Email, SMS, WhatsApp), customize the Notify Me widget
  • Watermark Image or Text — create overlays, select target products, position badges
  • Bundle Discount Quantity Break — choose bundle type, select products, set discount tiers
  • Quantity Limit — set min/max rules, configure customer tags, activate Shopify Function

The wizard takes 1-3 minutes. All settings can be changed later from the app dashboard.

Step 4: Explore the Dashboard

Access any installed app from Shopify Admin > Apps. The dashboard includes:

  • Overview — key metrics and quick actions
  • Settings — all configuration options
  • Analytics — performance tracking and reports
  • Help — in-app documentation and support chat

Getting Help

If you need assistance at any point:

  • In-app help — click the "?" icon in any app dashboard
  • Documentation — browse the complete docs (you're here!)
  • Live chat — available Mon-Fri 9am-6pm EST in the app dashboard
  • Email support — support@panthercodx.com (24h response time)

For urgent issues, use live chat for the fastest response.
