Important points to note when using the GO SUB BOX function

Points to note ①
If you have a theme that has implemented the app block for product pages and customer account pages, you can use the BOX function without any special measures.
If you have not installed the app block in your theme, the BOX function may not be displayed. In this case, you will need to install the asset again. The method for installing the asset again is as follows.
  1. Click "Install Theme" from the menu on the app's admin page.
  2. Select the theme you want to install.
  3. Click the "Show instructions for installing code into your theme" button at the bottom of the page, then click the "Install assets into your theme" button to complete the process.
*Merchants who have a specially customized GO SUB theme may need to take special measures.
Points to note ②
The BOX function cannot be used for any purpose other than subscription.
For example, it is not possible to implement a system where customers can create and purchase their own set of products using only the box function, without using the subscription function.
