Embed Expo Snack on Your Shopify Store in 3 Simple Steps

Expo Snack is a fantastic tool for sharing React Native code examples in an interactive format. Adding these interactive code snippets to your Shopify store can be valuable if you’re selling coding courses, development tools, or want to showcase mobile app examples.

Here’s how to add Expo Snack embeds to your Shopify store without any technical hassle:

Step 1: Install EmbedAny App

First, you’ll need to install the EmbedAny app from the Shopify App Store:

Visit https://apps.shopify.com/embed
Click “Add app”
Follow the installation prompts
Activate the app when prompted

Step 2: Find Your Expo Snack Link

To embed an Expo Snack, you’ll need the link to the Snack you want to display:

Go to snack.expo.dev
Create or open an existing Snack project
When your Snack is ready, copy the URL from your browser’s address bar (It will look something like: https://snack.expo.dev/@username/project-name)

Step 3: Add the Link to Your Store

Now, simply add the Expo Snack link anywhere you want it to appear:

Go to the page or product where you want to add the Expo Snack
Paste the Snack URL into your content editor
Important step: Make the link italic by selecting it and clicking the italic button (or using Ctrl+I / Cmd+I)
Save your changes

That’s it! The plain link will now transform into an interactive Expo Snack embed where customers can view and even play with the code example directly on your Shopify store.

When to Use Expo Snack Embeds

Expo Snack embeds can be particularly useful for:

Showcasing mobile app examples if you sell development tools
Displaying coding tutorials or examples in your product descriptions
Adding interactive elements to coding course information

Use Expo Snack’s sharing options to start your embed at a specific file or code section
Consider adding a brief text explanation above the embed to provide context
Make sure your Snack project is public so visitors can view it properly

By following these simple steps, you can enhance your Shopify store with interactive Expo Snack embeds that engage visitors and provide valuable demonstrations of code examples—all without writing a single line of code yourself.
