Note: I am assuming The following guide is written with the assumption that the person who does the changes should implementation is familiar with at - least a little bit of code guidelines and liquid templates.
Seller widget implementation:
After login into to the admin panel click on “Online Store” from the left menu, see screenshot:
...
2. There it will show be displayed the selected Live theme “Live theme” of your store. Choose “Edit Code” from Actions drop-down menu button, see screenshot:

...
4. Suppose user In this example we want to display the seller widget in header & footer.
5. Then Choose choose and open footer.liquid and header.liquid files under the heading of “Sections“ from the left menu.
6. Place the widget code snippet in that particular file where exactly with the position user where you want to display the widget in the front store.
7. Now suppose user In this example we want to display the widget in the home page in some where - somewhere in the middle of the home page.

PRC widget implementation:
Search and open Sections > product-tab.liquid file.
That file is responsible behind the product detail page. There we need to place the code snippet in such a way that it will display the widget in front store either after the product description or like under the tabs.
Note : Keep in mind that the following guide is just an example of PRC widget implementation in default theme in Shopify platform. Implementation can vary.
Follow the Step 1 and Step 2 same as mention in the Seller Widget Implementation
Once you are in the edit theme file mode you have to click on Sections and a drop-down will open you from where you have to open product-template.liquid file as shown in the picture below.
Once the file is opened up you have to place the PRC widget code right before the following code
{% if collection %}
Please make sure that you edit the PRC code and place the placeholder inside the PRC widget code for product_id
In our case for this file the placeholder will be
{{ product.id }}After editing the PRC code it will look something like below.
Once you have placed the widget code in the file. The file will look something like as shown in the screenshot below.
Note:
There is a possibility that the filenames wouldn’t be same as above because
...
those depend on the theme structure
...
that is used for the store. But predominantly the above naming is followed and used to implement the widgets by default in Shopify ecommerce store.
The positioning of the widget can change according to the client’s demand.
The PRC widget may not be displayed if there are no reviews.
