Inserting your new Admin Buttons on Shopify admin detail pages

Updated over 5 months ago

Once you have created and activated a button (see Step 1), and optionally defined a form to collect additional information with each button click (see Step 2), there's one additional step to take to enable your button to your admin page for your store team.

1. Navigate to an admin page of the type you just created a button for. For instance, if you created a button for the "Order detail page", go to any order detail page in admin.

Scroll down the page and you'll see an App Blocks section.

NOTE: The App blocks section only appears when you have apps installed that provide app blocks to the type of admin page you are on. If you don't see the App blocks section be sure that you have created and activated a button for the page page.

(This section only appears when you have apps installed that provide app blocks.)

2. Click the "+ App block" button and find "Even Better Admin Buttons" in the list of available apps.

3. Your button will appear in a new app block.

NOTE: Be sure to click "Pin" so that it shows up for all team members in your store.

4. Repeat this process on any other admin pages that you've created buttons for.

5. If you're on a Shopify plan with multiple users, be sure that your store staff have permission to use the Admin Buttons app. Without access, they will not be able to see the buttons on their admin pages.

Navigate to Settings > Users. You can grant access to all apps or one app individually. The Plus plan lets you define user roles and assign permissions by role. Other plans will let you adjust app permissions per user.

You're all set! The buttons are available to save your team time completing repetitive tasks from admin. And any new buttons you add or updates you make to buttons will automatically appear in the app blocks.
