AnchorBoard ~ getting set up
AnchorBoard lets shoppers save the products they love into wishlists they come back to ~ and every save tells you what your customers want most. Here is how to get set up, and what to look for first.
Adding it to your store
Four plain steps. It takes about a minute, and Shopify handles the approval so you are always in control.
Step 1: Press "Get it free"
On the AnchorBoard page, press the "Get it free" button. It is free ~ there is no card to enter and nothing to pay. A small box opens asking for your store address.
Picture coming soon: The AnchorBoard page with the "Get it free" button highlighted.Step 2: Type your store address
Type your Shopify store address ~ the one that ends in .myshopify.com (for example, your-store.myshopify.com). If you only know your regular store web address, that is fine too ~ we sort it out for you. Then press Install.
Picture coming soon: The store-address box with your-store.myshopify.com typed in and the Install button ready.Step 3: Approve it on Shopify’s own screen
A new tab opens on Shopify’s own approve screen ~ the same one you see for any Shopify app. It lists what the app can see, so you always know. Press Install app to say yes. This screen is Shopify’s, not ours, so you are always in control.
Picture coming soon: Shopify’s standard "Install app" approval screen listing the access the app is asking for.Step 4: You’re in ~ AnchorBoard opens
Shopify adds AnchorBoard to your store and drops you straight inside it. You will find it any time under Apps in your Shopify admin, on the left. That is it ~ you are set up.

What to look for once it’s open
AnchorBoard adds a save button to your product pages so shoppers can build wishlists and collections. Behind the scenes, it rolls every save up into a ranked view of what your customers want most ~ so you promote what people already raised their hand for.
The save button, live
Open one of your product pages and look for the new save button. That is shoppers now able to hold onto what they love instead of leaving empty-handed.
The demand view
Find the ranked list of most-saved products. This is your customers telling you exactly what to promote next ~ no guessing.
Sharing that sells
Wishlists can be shared with friends. See how a shared collection looks ~ it quietly brings new shoppers to your door.
If something’s not right
The little things that trip people up, answered in plain words.
Do I need to edit my theme to add the save button?
No ~ AnchorBoard adds it for you. If you do not see the button on a product page, refresh once, and if it is still missing, write us and we will get it showing.
I installed it but I don’t see it ~ where did it go?
AnchorBoard lives in your Shopify admin under Apps, on the left-hand menu. Open Apps and press AnchorBoard to jump back in any time. If it is not listed there, the install may not have finished ~ try "Get it free" once more, or write us and we will find it with you.
Where do I change its settings?
Open AnchorBoard from Apps in your Shopify admin, and look for Settings inside the app (usually top-right or in the menu along the side). Everything you can adjust lives there. Not sure what a setting does? Write us ~ we will explain it in plain words.
How do I remove AnchorBoard if I change my mind?
In your Shopify admin, open Apps, find AnchorBoard, and press Delete (or Remove). Shopify uninstalls it cleanly and stops its access right away ~ nothing lingers. It is free, so there is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay. You can always add it back later.
Is it really free ~ will I be charged later?
Yes, AnchorBoard is genuinely free ~ no card, no trial that turns into a bill. You approve it on Shopify’s own screen, and there is nothing to cancel. If you ever see a charge you did not expect, write us straight away.
