Before starting this process, it is highly recommended to create a copy of your existing theme
To begin integrating Sparq into your store, the first crucial step is to seamlessly integrate it with your theme. Always work on a copy of your live theme so that any changes made during the integration won't affect your original theme directly.
Creating a copy of your theme acts as a safeguard against any unintended modifications or issues that might arise during the integration process. With a duplicate theme in place, you can experiment and work on the integration with peace of mind, knowing that your original theme remains intact.
Once you've safely created a backup of your theme, you can confidently proceed with integrating Sparq, enhancing your store's search functionality and providing a superior user experience for your customers.
To smoothly integrate Sparq into your theme, follow these straightforward steps:
