Customize Before Publishing

Before publishing, review the homepage, product page, collection page, cart, FAQ, contact page, and any content pages you plan to use.

• Replace demo copy with your own store content.
• Upload product and editorial images.
• Review desktop and mobile previews.
• Test cart and checkout entry points using Shopify preview tools.

03

Header and Navigation

Use Shopify navigation menus to control header links. In Shopify admin, open Content, then Menus, and create or edit the menu you want to display.

• Keep navigation labels short and clear.
• Review mobile navigation after adding links.
• Add your logo from Theme settings, then Brand.
• Use the announcement bar for concise shipping, store, or collection updates.

Homepage Setup

The homepage is built with editable Shopify sections. You can add, remove, reorder, and customize sections inside the theme editor.

• Start with the hero editorial section and upload a clear brand image.
• Use featured collection to highlight selected products.
• Add founder-led content with founder note and founder story sections.
• Use product benefits, testimonials, press logo strip, newsletter signup, and bundle promotion sections as needed.
• Remove sections that do not match your current store content.

05

Product Page Setup

The product page uses editable blocks for title, vendor, price, variant picker, quantity selector, buy buttons, description, benefits, collapsible rows, custom Liquid, and app blocks.

• Add product images and videos in Shopify product admin.
• Use product descriptions for essential selling information.
• Use optional product metafields for details such as care, ingredients, materials, routine step, scent profile, or sustainability notes.
• Empty optional fields are designed to hide cleanly.
• Review variants, price, inventory status, and add-to-cart behavior before publishing.

06

Collection Page Setup

Collection pages display collection title, description, image when available, sorting, filters when available, product cards, and pagination.

• Add collection images for a more polished collection hero.
• Use clear collection descriptions to guide shoppers.
• Check product card titles, vendors, sale prices, and sold-out states.
• Preview collections with different product counts.

07

Cart Page

The cart page uses Shopify-native cart behavior where possible. It includes product images, item titles, variant details, quantity controls, remove links, subtotal, checkout button, and a shipping note area.

• Add test items to the cart and review quantity changes.
• Check empty cart behavior.
• Review cart layout on mobile before publishing.

08

Pages

Hervelles Veyra includes templates for standard pages, contact, FAQ, founder story, and wholesale or stockist content.

• Assign the appropriate template when creating or editing a Shopify page.
• Use the FAQ page for shipping, returns, product care, wholesale, and order questions.
• Use the contact page for customer inquiries, wholesale inquiries, press inquiries, and social links.
• Keep content concise and specific to your store policies.

09

Images and Media

Use high-quality product and editorial images with enough space around key objects. Hero and editorial sections include image-fit behavior so images can display without unwanted cropping.

• Use bright, clear product images for product pages and collection grids.
• Use editorial images for homepage and story sections.
• Review mobile previews after uploading new images.
• For sections with an Image fit setting, choose Fit full image when you want the entire image visible.
• Use Fill frame only when a cropped editorial composition is intentional.
