Drip Socials adds your Instagram feed to your storefront through a theme block called InstaPulse Feed. You place this block wherever you want the gallery to appear using the standard Shopify theme editor — no code required.
Before You Start
Make sure you've already:
- Connected your Instagram account in Drip Socials.
- Created a feed block and noted its block identifier (see Feed Layout and Grid Options).
Add the Feed Block
- In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
- Click Customize on the theme you want to edit.
- Navigate to the page and section where you want the feed to appear.
- Click Add block (or Add section/app block) and choose InstaPulse Feed from the list.
- Position the block where you'd like it within the section.
Link It to Your Feed
Each feed you build in Drip Socials has its own identifier. The fastest way to get it is the Add to theme link next to a feed in the app: clicking it copies that feed's identifier to your clipboard and opens your theme editor in a new tab with the feed block ready to add. Paste straight from the clipboard.
In the block's settings in the theme editor:
- Find the Block identifier field.
- Paste the identifier for the feed you want to show here.
- Save.
the field also accepts two literal keywords, default and Instagram. Either one makes Drip Socials serve the first feed block on your store rather than looking up an identifier. That is why a block can show a feed even when you never pasted anything — and why it can show the wrong one if you have several feeds.
Save and Preview
- Click Save in the theme editor.
- Preview your storefront to confirm the feed appears and loads your posts.
Tips
- You can add the feed block to more than one section or page.
- To show different layouts in different places, create a feed for each and paste its own identifier into each location (see Add Multiple Feeds to Your Store). All of them show the same posts — only the layout and styling differ.
- If the block appears empty on your live site, see My Feed Is Empty in Troubleshooting.
