Theme, banner, menus and sections — the store builder makes the shop look like yours.

The store builder (Settings → Online store) controls how the shop looks — a live preview sits beside the panels so every change shows immediately.

The panels

Work through the builder's rail — each opens a focused editor:

  • Banner — the hero text customers see first (headline, subtext)
  • Contact — the footer/contact details customers use to reach you
  • Menus — the header navigation (which categories/pages link where)
  • Sections — extra homepage blocks and how they're arranged
  • Domain — the store's address (custom domain)

Changes are pending until you Publish — Discard abandons them. The live preview reflects your edits as you work.

Design principles that pay

  • Banner says what you sell + why you, not a slogan. "Handmade leather shoes, delivered in 3 days" beats "Welcome to our store."
  • Menu = your categories. Keep it shallow: the collections buyers actually browse, not the full back-office tree.
  • Lead with the strongest products — the homepage sections should show the catalog at its best, not its complete.

Tip: Check the preview on a phone before publishing — most customers will see the mobile version, and a cramped hero headline is the first thing they judge.
