Hi! Were you able to use the existing homepage somewhere else? I’m also looking for something like this
Topic summary
Main issue: making a specific product page function as the Shopify store’s homepage.
Initial guidance: A Shopify rep says most themes need custom code to replace the homepage with a product page. Alternatives include single‑product themes (Jumpstart, Palo Alto, Colors, Startup), hiring a Shopify Expert, or using direct product/cart links and URL shorteners for marketing.
Community solution: A user cites a forum thread with a method that “works for any theme,” but the external link later appears broken. Another user shares a minimal code snippet to add in theme.liquid “before the head tag,” with multiple replies reporting success, thanks, and acceptance.
Technical notes: theme.liquid is the main layout file in a Shopify theme; the head tag is the HTML section where metadata and resources are loaded. Several users ask where to locate head in Dawn, how to change the target (it redirected to Collections for one user), and how to swap a landing page with the homepage while keeping the original homepage accessible elsewhere.
Status: Mixed results and partial guidance. Some achieved the effect via custom edits, but detailed, reproducible steps remain unclear; multiple follow‑up questions are unanswered.
