Store Setup

  1. Add real products before reviewing the final storefront.
  2. Create collections for New Arrivals, Dresses, Tops, Bottoms, Accessories, Best Sellers, Sale, and Lookbook.
  3. Add product images, hover images, descriptions, vendors, product types, variants, prices, inventory, and SEO fields.
  4. Configure header and footer menus in Shopify navigation.
  5. Publish refund, privacy, terms, shipping, and subscription policies where applicable.
  6. Configure Markets, currencies, languages, customer accounts, gift cards, pickup locations, and accelerated checkout if the store uses those features.

Homepage

Editorial flow

Lead with a full-bleed campaign image, then use category strips, campaign splits, product rails, lookbook sections, and service messaging to guide shopping.

Images

Use high-resolution editorial images with clear product visibility. Avoid generic stock imagery and keep focal points set in Shopify's media editor.

Product Page

Keep the buying flow near the top: vendor, title, price, SKU when useful, buy buttons, description, pickup availability, collapsible rows, fit guide, and app blocks.

Test variants, unavailable combinations, selling plans, unit pricing, gift card recipient fields, pickup availability, quantity rules, and dynamic checkout before launch.

Collection And Search

RiotLoom uses Shopify native filters and sorting. Configure product type, vendor, availability, price, color, size, and material data, then enable filters through Shopify Search and Discovery.

Cart And Checkout

Test empty cart, one item, multiple items, discounts, line properties, selling plans, unit-priced items, and accelerated checkout buttons. Checkout itself remains Shopify-controlled.

Localization

Footer country and language selectors appear when the store has multiple available countries or published languages. Verify Markets and languages in Shopify admin.

FAQ

Why do filters not show?

Filters depend on Shopify product data and Search and Discovery configuration.

Why does pickup availability not show?

Pickup availability requires inventory, variants, and pickup locations configured in Shopify admin.

Should Street, Luxe, Drop, Mono, and Pop be advertised as presets?

Not yet. They are future directions until each has distinct settings, demo data, screenshots, and listing material.

Support Scope

Theme support covers installation guidance, theme editor setup, supported Shopify settings, RiotLoom theme bugs, Shopify-native feature compatibility, and documentation questions.

Theme support does not include custom feature development, third-party app debugging outside RiotLoom integration points, product data entry, photography, copywriting, brand design, or checkout customization outside Shopify-supported theme surfaces.
