On the Sezzle merchant Dashboard you can find the merchant ID by going to Settings and Business.

8. Troubleshooting

If testing was unsuccessful, review the following:

  • Sezzle Shopify extension is the most updated version.
    • Go to Apps > Sezzle, then click About. If there is an option to upgrade, do so now.
  • Sezzle gateway is activated.
    • Go to Settings > Payment Providers and ensure “Sezzle is active” is listed under the Alternative Payment Methods section.
  • API Keys were entered correctly.
    • It is recommended to use the Copy icon in the Sezzle Merchant Dashboard to avoid typos or extra spaces.
    • If you have multiple accounts with Sezzle, the merchant ID and API Keys are tied to only one URL.
  • Widget script is present on your website and reflects the Merchant IDfrom your Sezzle Merchant Dashboard.
    • Go to a product page on your website.
    • Right-click then select Inspect.
    • In the Elements tab, search for widget.sezzle.

9. Manual Theme Integration

If the Shopify app fails to maintain the widget script on the product pages, or to add the script manually for additional pages, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to Sales Channels > Online Store > Themes.
  2. Click Actions, then select Edit Code.
  3. In the Code Explorer, go to the Templates folder and select the product.liquid file.
  4. Copy+paste the script to the very bottom of the file, then click Save.
  5. Repeat the previous step in the cart.liquid file.

Note: If you have additional custom product templates, step 4 will need to be repeated for each file, or the script added to a global file, such as layout/theme.liquid.

The script to be inserted into your webpage is as follows:

Template: <script src="https://widget.sezzle.com/v1/javascript/price-widget?uuid={sezzle_merchant_uuid}"></script>

Update {sezzle_merchant_uuid} in the above script template with your site’s Merchant ID (removing the curly brackets), 
which can be found in the Sezzle Merchant Dashboard.

 

Example: <script src="https://widget.sezzle.com/v1/javascript/price-widget?uuid=12a34bc5-6de7-890f-g123-4hi5678jk901"></script>

For assistance with widget configuration, click Request Addition of Widgets in the widget step of your Sezzle Merchant Dashboard Setup Checklist.

 

10. Uninstall steps

  1. Go to Apps.
  2. Under Sezzle, click Delete.
  3. Go to Settings > Payment Providers.
  4. Under Alternative Payment Methods, find Sezzle and click Edit.
  5. Click Deactivate Sezzle.
  6. Click Deactivate Sezzle to confirm.
