Merchant handbook
Build an editorial homepage
Add and reorder sections through the editor. Connect real resources before judging empty or placeholder states. The section catalog below includes every implemented section and its exact settings.
Hero and story media
Editorial hero supports art-directed images/mobile media, text, links and Shopify video with native controls. Story media offers a full-width narrative or video treatment. Supply useful image alternatives and appropriate video captions. Do not use a mobile crop that hides the product or CTA.
Collections and products
Featured collections can create a grid or mosaic using collection blocks and image/title overrides. Featured products uses selected products or a collection; individual choices take precedence. Product spotlight presents a selected product with editorial and available purchase controls.
Narrative and text
Split narrative pairs photography with story, caption and detail blocks. Editorial text supports rich text and quotations. Use real attribution and permission for quotations. Rich text tables and code have contained scrolling where necessary.
Benefits, logos and testimonials
Editorial columns supports benefits, logo rows and testimonials through its available presets/blocks. Add only merchant-authorized logos, factual benefits and genuine testimonials. The theme does not supply customer review data.
Lookbook and comparison
Image lookbook places product-linked hotspots on a scene. Before/after comparison reveals two supplied images; use honest, comparable images and avoid unsupported results claims. Product comparison presents selected products and authored rows; it does not infer unprovided specifications.
Journal, newsletter and FAQ
Choose a blog for journal cards. Newsletter uses Shopify’s customer form and native feedback. FAQ uses accessible disclosures with authored answers. Avoid unnecessary duplicate newsletter forms; confirm mailing consent and delivery workflow separately.
Collection tabs and dated promotions
Collection tabs groups real collection grids behind accessible manual tabs with a no-JavaScript fallback. A dated promotion uses a fixed merchant-supplied deadline and an ended state; it does not create discounts or reset a deadline for each visitor.
Featured product scale
In Featured products choose two, three or four products per desktop row and one or two per mobile row. Tablet uses up to three. Explicitly selected products take precedence over a collection; choose a varied edit deliberately if a collection’s default order introduces new or sold-out QA examples. Larger cards request appropriately sized responsive images. Other product grids retain their own layout.
Responsive collection and spotlight images
Collection tiles request images for the selected grid or mosaic layout, including the full-width final tile on mobile when the item count is odd. Product spotlights account for the page margins, content-width setting and column gap. Native responsive sources preserve merchant images and focal points. Browsers may reuse a larger cached image shown elsewhere; these hints do not guarantee a fixed download size.
Editorial copy in presets
Presets that include an editorial text section provide editable, original introductory prose. Replace it with your own brand story in the Theme Editor. Demo maintenance fills only matching seeded sections with an empty text setting and preserves existing merchant prose. Demo copy does not assert certifications, customer reviews or product performance.

Pages, footer and customer communication
Theme presentation and Shopify form handling are separate from your policies, legal obligations and fulfillment operations.
Footer
Configure brand description/short SEO copy, menu blocks, social destinations, newsletter and optional localization controls. Keep descriptions useful and accurate rather than repeating keywords. Test all links. The theme has no forced developer-credit or affiliate link.
Pages and contact
Use the standard page template for About, FAQ or service content; use the contact template for Shopify’s native contact form. Native validation and success/error feedback are implemented, but actual mail delivery must be verified in your store.
Blog and articles
Select and populate a blog, add licensed featured images and useful original articles. Templates support pagination, metadata, topic/neighbor navigation and native moderated comments where enabled. Merchant moderation and spam handling remain store responsibilities.
Password, 404 and gift cards
Theme utility templates provide protected-store forms, recovery search and gift-card display/print features. Shopify’s mandatory client-transfer access screen appears before the theme and cannot be restyled by this theme. Preview the theme password template separately after authenticating.
Account and localization
Account links use Shopify’s customer-account experience. English and French interface and editor translations are supplied; translate your product and editorial content separately. Markets and currency formats follow Shopify settings. Review menus, forms and alignment in every language you offer.
Merchant handbook
Updates and ongoing care
Keep a backup of your storefront and review important shopping journeys whenever your theme, apps or catalog change.
Before updating
Duplicate the current theme and record important settings and custom code. Review the update notes supplied with your theme. Use an unpublished copy to check compatibility with your catalog and installed apps.
Review the updated copy
Confirm your header, menus, homepage sections, product options, cart, forms and language settings. Test at mobile and desktop sizes. Keep the current published theme available while reviewing the replacement.
Custom code and apps
Record custom edits and app-specific instructions before updating. Reapply only the changes you still need, and test each one. Avoid copying an older settings file over a newer theme without reviewing its compatibility.
Find the right guidance
Use documentation supplied with your theme version. Search this handbook for feature names or use the section and settings references below. Keep your own notes about store-specific configuration and customizations.
