Templates

Overview

Templates provide professionally designed style presets that instantly transform the appearance of your product options. Whether you want a seamless theme integration or a bold custom look, templates make styling quick and easy.

Apply pre-designed styles to your product options with one click, or keep your theme's default look.

Available Templates

Theme Default (Recommended)

The Theme Default template is automatically applied when you install the app. This template inherits your store's theme styles as much as possible, creating a seamless, native look.

Benefits:

• Zero styling effort required
• Matches your store's existing design
• Updates automatically if you change your theme
• Professional appearance out of the box

Best for:

• Quick setup with minimal customization
• Maintaining consistent store branding
• Stores with carefully designed themes

Pre-Designed Templates

Additional templates are available with distinct style presets. Each template has its own:

• Color schemes
• Button styles
• Typography
• Border and spacing settings
• Shadow effects

Browse the template gallery to find a style that matches your brand vision.

How to Apply a Template

Step 1: Browse Templates

1. Navigate to Customization page
2. Open the Templates tab
3. Scroll through available template options
4. Each template displays a preview of its style

Step 2: Preview a Template

1. Click on any template box
2. The Live Preview section updates immediately
3. See exactly how your options will look with this template
4. Try different templates to compare styles

Step 3: Save or Discard

After selecting a template, the contextual save bar appears:

To apply the template:

1. Review the changes in Live Preview
2. Click Save in the contextual save bar
3. Your "Current Style" section updates to reflect the new template
4. Changes go live on your storefront immediately

To cancel:

1. Click Discard in the contextual save bar
2. Preview returns to your current style
3. No changes are made to your storefront

Switching Between Templates

You can change templates at any time:

1. Open the Templates tab
2. Click a different template
3. Preview the new style
4. Save or discard as needed

Note: Switching templates will replace your current styling. Any custom modifications in other tabs (Colors, Borders, etc.) will be overwritten by the new template's preset values.

When to Use Templates vs. Custom Styling

Template Customization

After applying a template, you can customize individual elements:

1. Start with a template as your foundation
2. Navigate to other tabs (Colors, Borders & Shapes, etc.)
3. Adjust specific elements to match your brand
4. Changes are layered on top of the template base

This approach gives you the best of both worlds: professional design with personalized touches.

Best Practices

Start with Theme Default

• Apply Theme Default first if you're unsure
• See how it looks with your store's existing design
• Only switch if you need something different

Test Before Committing

• Use the Live Preview extensively
• Check how options look with different product types
• Test interactive elements (dropdowns, checkboxes, etc.)
• Verify readability and visual hierarchy

Consider Your Brand

Choose templates that align with:

• Your brand personality (minimal, bold, elegant, playful)
• Your product type (luxury goods vs. casual items)
• Your customer expectations
• Your store's overall aesthetic

Document Custom Changes

If you plan to switch templates later:

• Screenshot your custom color values
• Note any specific settings you've adjusted
• Keep a reference of your preferred styling
