Quick reference for the Design tab.

Templates

  • 24 options: 23 ready-made templates + Custom.

  • Picking one sets colors, fonts, borders, and icon colors all at once.

  • Split, Stacked, Spotlight also change the layout — but only work with the Simple type.

  • Changing any color/font/border manually switches you to Custom automatically.

Background

  • Single color (default white) or Gradient (two colors + angle 0–360°, default 90 = left to right).

Typography

  • Font size: no fixed max. Title default 18px, subheading 14px.

  • Font weight: 400/500/600/700/800 only.

  • Alignment: Left/Center/Right.

  • Mobile size field kicks in at 620px or narrower.

  • 47 fonts to choose from, or "Use your theme fonts" (safest — a specific font only works if your theme already loads it).

Buttons & coupon chip

  • Button: background, text color, font size, border radius (default 4px) — all customizable.

  • Coupon chip only shows for Simple type with a coupon code set.

Borders & icons

  • Border radius/size/color — applies evenly on all sides.

  • Close icon and navigation arrow colors are customizable (arrows: Rotating type only, can't be hidden).

Custom CSS

  • For advanced users — most merchants don't need it.

  • Automatically strips: HTML tags, @import, url()/image(), expression(), javascript:, -moz-binding, behavior.
