The productpage settings contain all the settings you need to configure your productpage. You can build your own productpage from scratch, but ofcourse we've provided the theme with a default productpage.

How to edit the productpage?

The productpage contains of sections, these sections can be added, editted and removed. You can use all the sections that are used on the homepage, but also have some specific ones for the productpage. We will go in depth about these sections later.

First you'll have to navigate to the productpage template.
You can do this by navigating to Products -> Default product in the top bar of the theme editor

Once on this page, the default template is ready to be editted!

General 'Product' settings

The general product settings contains the basic settings for how the products on the productpage should behave. This is the most important section of the productpage.
The product settings also contain blocks, which are there to style the elements of your productpage. We will go in depth about this after the general settings.

Simply click on the 'section' to open the settings.

On the right sidebar, the following settings will show:

Product

Show on desktop
Do you want to show the product gallery thumbnails on desktop? These thumbnails/images are on the left or bottom next to your product image (setting related).

Show on mobile
Do you want to show the product gallery thumbnails on mobile? These thumbnails/images are on the left or bottom next to your product image (setting related).

Thumbnails layout:
As stated in the setting above, do you want the product thumbnails on the left (vertical) of the main image, or on the bottom (horizontal).

Show product description:
Do you want to show the product description, select this option. We recommend to enable/activate this, so people can read the product descriptions.

Enable 'read more' link:
This may come in handy if your product description is quite long. Enabling this setting will show the description only partially by default, and your customers chan click on a 'read more' link to show the rest of the description.

Pros and cons

Pros and cons can be used to show pros and cons of the products.
You can set the pros and cons using metafields, select the metafields for your pros and cons and fill them in here.

Product specifications

Fill in the specification field using metafields. That way the specifications you've entered as metadata will show on the productpage.

Important note for the Pros and cons and Product specifications:
To be able to use the specifications, pros and cons properly, you as a merchant must create a metafield of the type "Single line text" where "Accept list of values" is checked. It is also important to know that the word "and", or its translation in your own language (in NL eg "en") cannot be used. You can use "&" instead for example.

Example for pros and cons:
The example shows the pros, you can set it up the same for the cons.

On the product settings you will need to enter the values:

For the specifications you'll need to seperate the specification title and values with an ":", just like the example below:

Blocks of the products

as stated before, the productpage contain blocks. These blocks can be setup in the product section.
We'll go by the product section blocks one by one.
