What is a Handle ID?

Where to find a Handle in Platter+

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.

Why are Handles useful?

Handles make the setup process seamless and reliable:

1. Quick Installation: Instead of manually configuring or searching for an app block, copying and pasting the handle ensures the correct extension gets added immediately.

2. Error-Free: Because each handle is unique, it prevents confusion or mistakes when enabling multiple checkout extensions.

3. 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.
