Theme settings can be used to make global adjustments to your storefront. Accessed from the left-side menu in the Theme Editor, you can easily configure various design elements. For example, theme colors, fonts, buttons, and layouts. Any changes you make will impact all templates.

Additionally, this space is a central hub for managing a range of theme-specific features including gift wrapping, pop-ups, social media links, breadcrumbs, animations, and the favicon.

In this guide, we'll provide you with an overview of each setting category. This will assist you in customizing your theme to align with your brand's preferred styling.

Within your Colors settings, you have complete control over the color of various storefront elements. You can customize general text, badges, headers, mobile navigation, buttons, color schemes, popups, the cart drawer, backgrounds, the footer, and everything in between.

Whether you decide to handpick your preferred colors, stick with the default settings, or input specific Hex codes - with this level of flexibility at your fingertips - you won't have any trouble finding colors that align with your brand!

In the Typography settings, you can configure the style of headings, body text, navigation, buttons, labels, logo text, and the announcement bar.

Every section has its own dedicated settings, allowing you to fine-tune elements where applicable, such as font style, size, capitalization, borders, and letter spacing.

Note: If your preferred fonts are not available in the theme's library, you can add custom fonts.

In your Cart settings, you can change the look and feel of your storefront's shopping cart.

Select your preferred cart presentation style: Choose between opening a sliding drawer or directing customers to a new page. Furthermore, customize the display by including or excluding elements like product vendor details, cart notes, gift messaging, and dynamic checkout buttons.

Under Products, you will find settings for managing gift wrapping. Simply choose your designated gift wrap product and enter an accompanying label to display next to it. If you don't offer gift wrapping, just leave these settings blank.
