Before you start
You need to be able to log in to the store admin as the owner or as a staff member allowed to install apps. If you are not sure, read Before you start.
Install the app
- Open the Shopify App Store and search for IFG Build Your Box.
-
Select Install.
What you’ll see: Shopify lists the permissions the app asks for: managing products, publications and box data, applying the fixed price in the cart, and reading orders for sales figures.
-
Review the permissions and select Install at the bottom.
What you’ll see: the app opens inside Shopify Admin, on the language screen.
Screen 1 of 2: language
At the top you see the title IFG Build Your Box and the greeting “Welcome · Benvenuto · Bienvenido · Bienvenue · Willkommen”. Below it is the Language field.
- Open the Language field. The choices are Automatic (Shopify account language), English, Italiano, Español, Français and Deutsch.
- Keep Automatic (Shopify account language) if you want the app to use the same language as your Shopify Admin. Otherwise pick a language.
-
Select Continue.
What you’ll see: the app switches to the chosen language and opens the Plans page, with the “Choose your plan” panel at the top.
Tip: you can change the language anytime in Settings › Language. See All settings.
Screen 2 of 2: plan
The “Choose your plan” panel says: “You start on Free: 1 active box with every feature. Unlimited removes the limit.” Below it are the two plan cards, Free and Unlimited, and two buttons.
-
To start for free, select Continue with Free.
What you’ll see: the app’s Overview page opens.
-
If you want unlimited boxes right away, select Choose a plan on Shopify instead: Shopify’s plan page opens. Pick Unlimited and confirm there.
Warning: Unlimited is a paid plan. The free trial lasts up to 7 days, but only once per store: if you already used it in the last 180 days, billing starts straight away. All the details are in Plans and billing.
This screen appears only once. After that you can change plan anytime from Plans in the app menu.
The Overview page
Overview is the page you see every time you open the app.
- At the top: the name IFG Build Your Box, your current plan (Free or Unlimited) and the status of the fixed price. Engine ready (green) means the cart applies your box prices. Needs reconciliation (red) means it needs checking: see Troubleshooting.
- The buttons Create your first box (it becomes Manage boxes once you have at least one) and Settings.
- Three numbers: Total boxes, Active, Drafts.
- The Setup panel with three checks and a counter (for example 1/3): Fixed-price engine, First box, Publishing. Each row is ticked when you have done that step.
- Once you have at least one active box, the Show the box to customers panel also appears, with the buttons to add the builder to your theme.
The app menu, in the Shopify sidebar, has these items: Overview, Boxes, Analytics, Settings, Plans, Support. At the bottom of every page are the links Documentation, Support, Privacy, Terms and Changelog.
Troubleshooting
I don’t see the Install button. Your account is not allowed to install apps. Ask the store owner.
I selected Continue but I’m still on the language screen. The message “The language could not be saved. Try again.” appears: reload the page and select Continue again. If the message comes back, contact support with the code shown in brackets.
The app opens in a language I didn’t expect. With Automatic the app follows your Shopify account language. Pick the language you want in Settings › Language and select Save language.
