Overview

If the dashboard shows the extension as active, but the bulk order form does not appear on the storefront, the issue is usually related to page context, visibility, or product selection.

Follow the steps below to identify the cause.


Step 1: Check the page type

Each extension works only on a specific page type.

What to check

  • Product Page extension โ†’ must be on a product page

  • Bulk Order Page extension โ†’ must be on a page

If you are viewing the wrong page, the form will not appear.

Step 2: Check visibility rules

The extension can be active, but the form may still be hidden.

What to check

  • Customer is logged in (if required)

  • Customer matches visibility rules

  • Correct bulk order form is shown

Step 3: Check product selection

If no products are available, the form may appear empty or not render.

What to check

  • Products are included in the form

  • Collections contain products

  • Products and variants are active in Shopify

Step 4: Check the active theme

The extension is active only for the active theme.

What to check

  • You are viewing the active theme

  • The extension was not added to a different theme

Step 5: Check the page template

Especially for bulk order pages:

  • The page must use the correct template

  • The extension must be added to that template

If the template is changed, the extension may no longer appear.

Step 6: Test in a private window

Admin sessions can hide real visibility behavior.

What to do

  • Open a private/incognito window

  • Log in as a customer

  • Reload the page
