# Quick start guide

> Set up Stocksy Back in Stock in a few steps: enable the App Embed, configure the widget, customize email, receive a subscriber, and send your first notification.

Follow these steps to get Stocksy live on your store. The same checklist appears in the app **Setup Guide** on your Home dashboard.

## Step 1 — Install the app

Install **Stocksy: Back in Stock** from the Shopify App Store. After install, open the app from **Apps > Stocksy: Back in stock** in your Shopify admin.

## Step 2 — Enable App Embed

The storefront widget requires a one-time theme activation.

1. In Shopify admin, go to **Online Store > Themes**.
2. Click **Customize** on your active theme.
3. Open **App embeds** (puzzle-piece icon).
4. Find **Stocksy** and toggle it **on**.
5. Click **Save**.

When this works, the Home dashboard shows: **Stocksy App Embed is active.**

<Warning>
  If App Embed is off, customers cannot subscribe from your storefront — even if widgets and emails are configured.
</Warning>

## Step 3 — Configure the widget

Open **Widgets** (or **Customize Widgets** from Quick Actions) and set up your Back in stock button and form. See [Widgets](/widgets-emails/widgets) and [Back in stock widget](/widgets-emails/back-in-stock).

## Step 4 — Customize email

Open **Notifications > Email Notifications > Customize** and update templates for Back in stock, Price drop alert, and Coming soon. See [Email notifications](/widgets-emails/email-notifications).

## Step 5 — Receive your first subscriber

Visit a product page where the Stocksy widget is shown and submit a test subscription with your email. Confirm the subscriber appears on the dashboard under **Recent Subscribers**.

## Step 6 — Send your first notification

Restock the product (or trigger the alert condition) so Stocksy can send the notification. Confirm the email is delivered and that **Notifications Sent** increases on the dashboard.

## You're done

When all five Setup Guide steps are complete, the guide shows a **Done** badge. You can dismiss or collapse it anytime.

Next, explore the [Dashboard](/get-started/dashboard) to understand metrics, charts, top products, and plan usage.
