Your store,
step by step.

Shopify admin / Online Store / Themes

1. Choose Import theme / Upload zip file. Some admin layouts call this Add theme.
2. Upload FORME-0.5.6-clean.zip. Keep the ZIP compressed.
3. Open Customize or Edit theme on the uploaded theme.
4. Set it up and preview it before choosing Publish.

Two places to work: Shopify admin holds products, stock and pages. The theme editor controls how they look.

Shopify admin / Products

1. Add each product’s title, description, price and two or three useful photos.
2. Add options such as Size and Color. Check the price, stock and image for each variant.
3. Set the product to Active and make it available to Online Store.
4. Open Products / Collections. Group your products into collections and add a collection image.

Pick these real products and collections inside your theme sections. Uploading the theme does not add a catalog.

Theme editor / Header

1. Add your Logo. Add an overlay logo too if you want a different version over hero photos.
2. Choose Curated navigation. Add Collection blocks, then choose a collection for each. These become the image dropdown.
3. Open Theme settings / Departments. Select the two collections and edit the For her / For him labels.
4. Open Theme settings / Page destinations and connect your pages. The curated header and footer use these links.

Desktop dropdowns open on hover. On phones, customers tap the menu.

Theme editor / Home page

1. Open Full-screen campaign. Edit each campaign block’s image, heading, text and button.
2. Choose the correct destination for each slide. The two edit destinations use your Departments settings. Custom can use the block’s link or collection.
3. Enable Autoplay and set the interval if you want automatic swiping.
4. Select products and collections in the sections below. Drag sections to reorder them, or hide any you do not need.

Theme editor / The section you want to edit

Images that fit

• Use a wide image for desktop and a separate portrait image for mobile.
• In a campaign block, adjust Mobile focal point, Desktop focal point and Desktop vertical position if a model is cropped.
• Use consistent product photo shapes. Check the result on a phone and a wide screen.

Add a campaign video

1. Use Full-screen campaign, Shoppable look or Campaign film.
2. Choose a Shopify-hosted video in Campaign video. Add a separate mobile video if needed.
3. Add a poster image. Use autoplay and loop where offered, then choose any products shown in the film.

Autoplay is silent. Browsers and reduced-motion or data-saving preferences can require the visitor to press Play.

Theme editor / Collections / Your template / Collection products

Choose Campaign for a full-width image opening, Editorial for a spacious layout, or Compact to reach products sooner. Enable the banner and add the image on the collection in Shopify.

Set products per page, image fit, vendor names and swatches here too.

Turn on useful filters

1. Open Shopify’s Search & Discovery app.
2. Go to Filters / Add filter. Start with Availability, Price, Size and Color.
3. Save, then test a populated collection. Only filters relevant to its products appear.

Color swatches need native Shopify swatch data. For text-only colors, connect the product’s Color option to the appropriate category metafield.

Theme editor / Products / Default product / Product information

1. Arrange the title, price, options, quantity, buy buttons and description blocks.
2. Keep Options and Buy buttons for normal purchasing.
3. In Theme settings / Shopping, enable quick actions and choose a cart drawer or cart page.
4. Test a product with options, an unavailable variant, quick view and adding to the bag.

Set related and complementary products in Search & Discovery if you want to control recommendations.

Shopify admin / Online Store / Pages / Add page

Create the page, choose its theme template and save. Then connect it in Theme settings / Page destinations.

• Lookbook: match each chapter’s anchor with the anchor on its Shoppable look section.
• FAQ: add Question blocks with a question, answer and category.
• Contact: confirm your store email and send a test message.

Footer

Open Footer to edit the brand note, newsletter and menu blocks. Add social links in Theme settings. Put your real store policies in Shopify Settings / Policies; filled policies appear in the footer.

If a template is missing from the page selector, preview the page in FORME and confirm its assignment when FORME becomes the published theme.

Offer local currencies

1. Create and activate your regions in Shopify Markets. Set their currencies and available products.
2. Check that your payment provider supports those checkout currencies. Enable Shopify’s automatic localization if needed.
3. Turn on localization in Header and Footer, then test a country switch through checkout.

Shopify handles exchange rates and checkout currency. The theme shows what Shopify supplies.

Before you publish

• Check shipping rates, payments, taxes, contact email and policies.
• Test the menu, both hero links, filters, search and every visible page link.
• Add an item, change its quantity, remove it and place a complete test order.
• Review a phone and desktop, including hero crops and button visibility.
• Test contact and newsletter forms, and keep a backup of your current theme.
