How to create a template?

Use the templates functionality to build a unique layout with individual content for each page of the same category.

Note! The templates functionality works only in the published theme.

Templates can be used across several page types, including Products, Collections, Blogs, Blog posts, and Pages. Find more details on the following functionality here.

You can also follow the general steps to create a new template:

Step 1

Go to the Theme Editor and choose a page type in the top selector for which the template should be created.

Step 2

Then, press the "Create template" button.

Step 3

In the pop-up, you can edit the following fields:

• Name - use a name for the template that is not repeated.

• Based on - use any template on which a new one should be based. It can be the default template or a new template created in your store earlier.

After editing the fields, press the "Create template" button.

Step 4

Go to Shopify admin to assign the template to the appropriate page.
