Detailed Instructions
0. Discuss monetization options with our Sales team, your CSM, or our Support team
You can get this process started (if you haven't already) by clicking the chat widget in the bottom right of your screen and we can get your request to the right people!
1. Confirm your categories and subcategories (Settings > Brand and DiscoFeed > Manage)
In your Settings tab, confirm your brand's categories and subcategories and adjust as needed. This will set up auto-exclusions.
- Categories: Be as specific as possible, but don't select too many, as that will limit profitability of monetization.
- Subcategories: Based on each category selected, choose the subcategory that best describes your products. Only select subcategories that directly relate to your product catalog.
2. Add any specific exclusions (DiscoFeed > Manage)
When defining your brand's categories and subcategories, we will automatically exclude other shops within the same space as you. You can add more specific shop-level and subcategory-level exclusions. Discuss with our Support team, Sales, or your CSM whether you would live to advertise our enterprise advertisers (it has been proven to significantly raise profits!).
Just remember, the more that you exclude, the lower your earning potential!
3. Check if you're on Shopify Checkout Extensibility
- IF YES, you will need to add the Disco app block to your Thank You / Order Status pages. Only takes 5 minutes. See these instructions.
- IF NO, you will need to add the Disco script to your Thank You / Order Status pages. You can access that information here.
- NOTE: the deadline to upgrade to extensibility is August 28, 2025 for Shopify Plus and August 26, 2026 for non-Shopify Plus.
