A handle is a unique identifier used to connect an app block (like a Platter+ extension) to your Shopify Checkout. Think of it as a label that Shopify uses to recognize and display the app block in the correct spot during checkout.
Handles make the setup process seamless and reliable:
Quick Installation: Instead of manually configuring or searching for an app block, copying and pasting the handle ensures the correct extension gets added immediately.
Error-Free: Because each handle is unique, it prevents confusion or mistakes when enabling multiple checkout extensions.
Flexibility: You can easily enable, disable, or customize app blocks by pasting their handles into the Shopify Checkout Editor, giving you more control over the checkout experience.
In the Extensions tab, you can find the Handle IDs for all of the extensions you have saved.
To save a Handle from this view, simple click the + icon and the Handle will be copied to your clipboard.
