Re: Sample pages

Why don't premium themes include more pre-built templates?

Is it me that is misunderstanding? 
When you buy a premium theme - now both Motion and Wookie, shouldn't there be a range of pre-build templates with it? 
I only see one edition of the front page - but don't get any other samples material.
Could anyone explain it to me?

Hi, @Kat9900. I'm happy to help with this! Were these themes bought from the Shopify theme store? Can you also walk me through the steps you're taking to preview your theme templates? I just want to make sure I'm understanding properly so I give you accurate advice.

 

If your themes are from the Shopify theme store, they will all come with a default template for different types of pages. The design and layout of the default templates will depend on the specific theme you're using. The default templates include a template for collections, products, blogs, blog posts, and pages, among others. Each default template is what the corresponding resources in your Shopify admin will use to display the information on your storefront.

 

For example, all of your products by default will use your Default product template. You can use the template as is, or you can customize it within your theme editor using sections and blocks. The design and layout you create in your theme editor determines how products will look on your storefront. The information that will be displayed for each product, is the information you save in the Products area of your Shopify admin.

 

If you have products that need to be displayed in different ways, you can still do this by creating additional templates. You can find the steps to create a new template here. That being said, I'd recommend going over this whole guide on theme templates. This section on previewing theme templates can help as well.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi, 

 

Thank you for your reply. 
I have this time bought the Wookiee theme from themeforrest. Last time it was the Motion theme for the regular Shopify shop. 
In both cases I have had the understanding that there would be a number of predefined templates with it. And in each case it only seems to 1 of each of the standard pages; front page, raw, contact a.m. 5-7 pcs in total. 

I bout guy them as my creativity is challenged, and I would like some templates for several sites - that I can shape to my own.. 🙂

 

does that make sense?!

It depends on the specific theme you purchased. Some premium themes come with a variety of pre-built templates, while others may only include a single layout. It's always best to check the theme's description or ask the developer to clarify what is included before making a purchase. If you feel that you did not receive what was promised, you can contact the theme's support for assistance
