Product list style 

The product list style determines how you present the shop's products to your client. There are two styles to choose from:

  • Tile - this format is the same style as the Gallery and Smart Gallery presentation styles. It is responsive and adapts to different image sizes, making it perfect for displaying images with various widths and heights. Your shoppers can hover over the products to view the product name and price range.
  • Grid - this format standardizes the product's images, so they are all square and in line with one another. It also shows each product's name and price range, without your shopper having to hover over the different items.

To change the product list style:

  1. Click the "Product List Style" drop-down and make your selection

FAQ

 

Can I skip the landing page and show the products right away?

There's no way to skip the landing page altogether, but you can remove the text from the shop's splash screen (in the Shop > Settings > Splash screen/ Help) and direct your client straight to the landing page; from there, they can click to start shopping.

 

Can I embed a shop on a website?

Yes, you can! Copy the shop's URL (in the Shop, click Actions > Preview Shop > copy the URL) and insert it into the website using an iframe. Check with your IT team, or the person who manages the website, if you're unfamiliar with iframes or HTML coding.

 

What file type should I use for the background image?

Shop's background images should be a JPG, PNG, or PDF file.

 

Why is the background image not showing correctly?

Images that do not match the required dimensions get distorted or cropped during the upload process and will not be displayed correctly. Make sure your image file matches the theme's required dimensions:

  • Billboard - 1456x 1007 pixels
  • Featured - 1300 x 225 pixels
  • Split - 1007 x 1456 pixels
