After 2+ years of supporting thousands of Shopify stores and helping them add animations, we're taking the tough decision to close the Rombo business and sunset the app. Unfortunately we have run out of runway and can no longer keep the business alive—together with changes Shopify enacted which have made it a challenge for us to continue operating the app.
The plan for shutting down the app is as follows:
We plan to cease the app operating by 18th April—but, your animations should continue to work after this date.
From 4th April, you will no longer be able to add animations using the Rombo app.
The only remaining function will be to delete all animations from the app.
We will refund any Pro customers for this month and cancel all plans in April.
We will not be able to provide any support after 4th April.
Uninstalling Rombo will remove any of the code for the animations.
Downloading and adding your Rombo Animations to theme code
As we mentioned above, Rombo's animation should continue to function on your store. But, if you would rather download the animations and host the code in Shopify you can do this too.
Downloading your animation code
To download your animation code, you can follow a few steps:
Navigate to your website
Right click "Inpsect" or Ctrl (CMD) + Shift + I to open up Chrome's developer inspector mode.
On the "Elements" tab (which should be default selected) you'll see the code of your website. Here you just want to Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + F, and search "rombo".
You should see a block of code within a
<script>tag. This is Rombo's code which executes and adds animations. You just want to copy this (Ctrl/CMD + C) this code block and paste somewhere you can access later.
Pasting your Rombo code into your theme
1. Navigate to Themes > Edit Code
2. Open the theme.liquid file.
3. Paste your Rombo code copied from above (inside <script></script> tags)
4. Click save, and you should have your animations again
