Walkthrough
- Understanding the Basics:
- Replo allows you to customize individual product pages using the product template feature within your Shopify theme.
- While full product page functionality is in development, the current method involves using the export to section functionality.
- Setting Up in Shopify:
- Navigate to your product catalogs in Shopify.
- For each product, you can select which product template you want to use.
- By default, it is set to the default product template.
- To find and customize the template, go to Online Store > Customize theme > Products > Default product template.
- Creating a Custom Template in Shopify:
- Create a placeholder for the Replo customized template.
- Name it appropriately, for instance, "Demo_Export_to_Sections".
- This will duplicate the default product template, which will serve as the base for our custom template.
- Customizing the Template:
- Adjust elements as needed. For example, you can change the position of the price or add new sections.
- Use Replo to further customize the template. For instance, if you want to add a specific section from Replo, export it to Shopify.
- Integrating with Replo:
- In Replo, select the element or section you want to export to Shopify.
- Use the "Export to Section" feature and name it appropriately.
- To do so, right click the section you want to use in Shopify > Click Export to Sections
- You will be taken to the Sections tab within the Replo Editor.
- Make the design changes you want.
- Once finished with the changes, hit publish.
- Once done, go back to Shopify, refresh, and you should see the exported section available to add in your sections list dropdown within the Shopify Theme Editr.
- Assigning the Custom Template:
- Go back to your product catalog in Shopify.
- For the desired product, scroll down and select the custom template you created from the theme template dropdown.
- Save changes and visit the product page to see the custom template in action.
Final Notes:
- This method is especially useful for stores with a smaller catalog or specific collections that need a custom template.
- For larger catalogs, it might be more efficient to wait for full product page support in Replo.
