Theme retirement Ira is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. .

Templates control the content, layout, and style of all pages and are customized in the theme editor.

There are templates for every type of page, including the home page, product page, collection page, blog posts, and more.

At first, there is one Default template for every type of page. All product pages, for example, are initially assigned the same default product template. This means that changes made to a default template will apply to all pages that use that template.

To change the content or style of specific pages, you will need to create a new template and then assign that template to those pages in the Shopify Admin.

Alternatively, you can use to automatically display the correct content or settings for pages that use the same template.

Open templates

Use the Templates selector in the theme editor to find the templates available for each page type. By default, the theme editor opens the Home page template.

See the for a full overview of all available templates.

Preview specific pages

When you open a template, the theme editor selects a page (e.g. one product or collection) to preview the changes made to that template.

To preview a different page with that template, click Change in the "PREVIEW" section at the top of the sidebar.

Assign templates to pages

If a warning symbol (!) appears next to the page name, this means that the template you are editing is not applied to that page. Go to the page in the Shopify admin and use the Theme template menu to assign a template.

Templates cannot be assigned on unpublished or trial themes. All changes to your templates will be saved but can only be assigned when purchased and published.

Create and assign multiple templates

At first, there is one Default template for every type of page. This means that changes made to a default template will apply to all pages that use that template.

To change the content or style of specific pages, you will need to create a new template and then assign that template to those pages in the Shopify Admin.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Use the Templates selector to open the Products, Collections, Pages, Blogs, or Blog posts templates.

  2. Click Create template.

  3. Enter a Name for your new template and click Create template.

    The new template will duplicate the settings of the original template.

  4. Under Preview, click Change to preview different pages with this template.

    If a warning icon (!) appears, you need to assign the template in your Shopify admin.

  5. To assign a template, go to the page in the Shopify admin and use the Theme template menu to select a specific template.

    Templates cannot be assigned on unpublished or trial themes. All changes to your templates will be saved but can only be assigned when purchased and published.

  6. Click Save.
