How do I add MetaMask to my Shopify store?

Integrating MetaMask into your Shopify store involves a few steps:

  1. Install MetaMask: First, ensure you have the MetaMask browser extension installed in your browser.

  2. Access Shopify Admin: Log in to your Shopify admin panel.

  3. Select Online Store: From your Shopify admin, go to "Online Store."

  4. Themes Section: Choose "Themes" and then click on "Actions" and select "Edit Code."

  5. Edit Theme Code: Navigate to the theme code and locate the theme.liquid file.

  6. Integrate MetaMask JavaScript: Add the MetaMask JavaScript code snippet just before the closing </head> tag in the theme.liquid file. This code enables MetaMask functionality on your site.

Here's an example of the JavaScript snippet you might add:

htmlCopy code<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@metamask/detect-provider@1.2.0/dist/detect-provider.min.js"></script>
<script>
  window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
    // Check if MetaMask is installed
    const provider = await detectEthereumProvider();
    if (provider) {
      // MetaMask is installed
      // You can add your logic here for MetaMask integration
    } else {
      // MetaMask is not installed
      // You can provide a message or prompt users to install MetaMask
    }
  });
</script>
  1. Save Changes: After adding the code, save the changes made to the theme.liquid file.

  2. Testing: Test the integration by accessing your Shopify store. You should see MetaMask functionality enabled, allowing users to interact with your store using their MetaMask wallet for Ethereum transactions.

Remember, integrating MetaMask into your Shopify store might involve additional customization based on your specific requirements and the functionalities you want to incorporate with MetaMask. Always test thoroughly to ensure proper functionality before making the changes live to your customers.
