There are two ways you can add WatchThemLive’s tracking code to your PrestaShop:

1- Inserting the Tracking Code in a Template

As PrestaShop uses Smarty CMS, you can add the tracking code to your pages through Smarty CMS templates (.tpl files.) Follow the steps below to add WatchThemLive to Smarty Templates:

1- Copy the tracking code.

2- Paste it inside a Smarty Template (.tpl file.) The template differs based on your Smarty project’s setup. You should choose a template that will be applied across your entire website like header.tpl. 

3- Now add {literal} tags in the tracking code’s<script> tag. The tracking code should be inserted inside {literal}{/literal} tags instead of the script tags. If you don’t include the {literal} tags, your website will only render a blank page. 

2- Inserting the Tracking Code Using a Module

You can also insert the tracking code using a PrestaShop module. There are multiple modules that enable you to insert custom JavaScript on your web pages.

To install Watch Them Live, copy the tracking code and paste it into the module. The method to add the JavaScript differs based on the PrestaShop module you are using. Therefore, for more information, check the module’s documentation.
