How to Add an AI Assistant to Shopify

Last updated: July 2026 · No coding required

You can add an AI assistant to your Shopify store by pasting one line of code into your theme — no paid app required. Here’s the step-by-step.

First, get your code. Log in to your dashboard → Overview to copy your install code (your unique key is already filled in). The example below uses a placeholder YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY.

Step-by-step

  1. 1In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
  2. 2On your live theme, click the “⋯” menu → Edit code.
  3. 3Under Layout, open theme.liquid.
  4. 4Paste your code just before the closing </body> tag, then click Save.

Your install code

<script src="https://api.askleya.io/widget/loader.js" data-key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY" async></script>

Prefer the full-page AI window?

Ask Leya also offers a full, ChatGPT-style assistant you can embed directly in a page. The steps on Shopify are identical — just paste the “window code” from your dashboard wherever you want it to appear.
