# Activate the App

Once you have installed the app, Shopify will redirect you to the app's dashboard page.

In the first block, you will see a yellow warning banner. This means you have not activated the app in your active theme yet. Every time you enter the dashboard page, the app will re-check your active theme and make sure that the app is activated successfully.

You can activate the app on your own from the theme settings or you can click the "Active the app" button and it will redirect you automatically. After the app is activated successfully the banner will look like this:

If you want to enable the app on your own, you have two options:

#### Enabling by App Block

If you want to show your custom fields in different places, you can add our app block and drag it to where you want. This way you can decide where the custom fields should be placed. Don't forget to save your changes.

#### Enabling by App Embed

Or you can activate the app embed block. This way the custom fields will be placed above to Add To Cart button. Don't forget to save your changes.
