Choose your shop's look — preset themes, brand colour, light or dark mode, the Buy Now button, filling the sections a theme needs, and switching on the Theme Builder.

Overview

The Themes page decides how your shop looks. There are two kinds of theme:

  • Preset themes — ready-made themes. You choose one and switch it on, then fill in its sections (banners, categories, products).
  • Theme Builder — a theme you design yourself. It is built on its own page (see Theme Builder).

Each preset needs some sections filled in. Until they are, the Apply theme button stays off, and the reason is written beside it. Switching theme deletes nothing — each theme keeps its own banners and choices.

Only Owners and Managers can view this page.

Screen tour

The Themes page — preset cards, the shop colour, light or dark, and the Buy Now switch.
The Themes page — preset cards, the shop colour, light or dark, and the Buy Now switch.
  1. Preset cards — each theme's name, a line on what it needs, and its state: Showing now, Ready to apply, or how many sections are still to fill. Where a card has a picture, hovering over it scrolls the sample shop slowly down.
  2. Shop theme colour — the colour box for the brand colour. The colour code is written beside it.
  3. Light or dark — the shop's mode. Choose Light or Dark.
  4. Enable Buy Now button — a tick box. Yes shows On; no shows Off. In Bangla the choice reads চালু or বন্ধ.

Above the cards is the Theme Builder card. Below the cards is the section board for the theme you have chosen. At the very bottom is a switch called Use a different design for checkout, which does not save yet (see the tips below).

Tips and common mistakes

  • When Apply theme is off, read the line beside it. It names the section and the number still needed.
  • Choosing a card and switching a theme on are different. Choosing a card only changes the section board below it. The theme goes live only when you press Apply theme.
  • Saving a section and switching a theme are different jobs. A section's Save keeps that section's entries. Applying the theme is what puts the chosen preset and its choices on the shop.
  • The checkout switch does not save yet. It is marked Soon. Turning it on or off changes what you see on the screen, but nothing is stored and it does not change your shop.
  • Basic has no sections. In its place the page shows a message: this theme needs no setup.
