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. .

The About page template provides an engaging way to tell your story. The template includes preset sections to showcase your store and vision, share your locations and hours, introduce team members, and let customers contact you.

This guide explains how to set up the about page template using theme sections.

Quick setup

For your about page, you first need to create a page and assign the about template in your Shopify admin. Then, in the theme editor, you can customize the page template using the preset theme sections.

STEPS

In your Shopify admin:

  2. Click Add page.

  3. Add a Title (e.g. "About us").
