<details>

<summary>Apps</summary>

When you experience an issue with the theme caused by an App that has been installed, you will need to **contact** the **App developers** directly.&#x20;

* This can include apps that break the theme's functionality, such as prices not updating when changing a variant.
* Items added to the cart not appearing in the cart or checkout
* Product images not changing

Please understand:

For all app-related issues or questions, Shopify's policy requires app developers to ensure compatibility with themes in the Theme Store. It's best to reach out to each individual app developer when requiring assistance with their app, functionality, or conflicts.

We can only support the code we write, the Broadcast theme.&#x20;

* All integrations with apps are **handled** by **App developers** directly.&#x20;
* Each App developer has their own support system in place and can help you with issues regarding their app.

Tips to help **before** installing any app:

* Make a duplicate of your current live theme.
* Rename the duplicate to help identify it.&#x20;

If the app breaks any functionality, you will be able to fall back to a good working version of your theme. This can also help you avoid many hours of problem-solving and downtime for your store.&#x20;
