Why your Rivo changes aren’t showing right away

If you just updated Rivo and your storefront still looks the same, this is usually a sync or storefront setup issue, not a lost setting.

Use the checklist below to get your latest changes live.




Quick checklist

1. Confirm the setting saved

When you save or sync, look for a success message on that page.

Common examples include Settings updated!, Theme Synced!, and Successfully synced.

If you did not see a success message, save again first.

2. Run a Store Sync

From your Rivo admin, go to Settings > Troubleshooting and click Sync Store.

You should see the sync status move from Syncing… to Successfully synced when complete.

If you recently changed your Shopify theme or updated onsite displays, run a theme sync:

  1. Go to Onsite > Settings.

  2. Select your theme.

  3. Click Sync Theme.


4. Make sure the Rivo app embed is enabled

If your app embed is off, onsite features may not appear even when settings are correct.

5. If the issue is product visibility inside the account experience, resync products

Product data sync can take longer than other setting updates. In product troubleshooting, Rivo notes this can take a few minutes and in some cases up to an hour, depending on catalog size.

To run this manually, open your Account Widget settings, go to Product Settings, and click Resync Products.




Common questions

Do I need to run Sync Store every time I make a change?

Not always, but it is the fastest first step when updates are not appearing.

I changed themes and now my Rivo updates are missing. What should I do?

Run Sync Theme for the active theme, then run Sync Store from Troubleshooting.

My product-related changes still are not visible. Is that normal?

Yes, product refreshes can take longer than basic setting updates, especially on larger catalogs.




Still not updating?

If you’ve completed all steps above and changes still do not appear, contact support and include:

  • Your store URL

  • What setting you changed

  • Where you expected it to appear (for example, widget, account area, or landing page)

  • A screenshot of your current storefront result
