How can I add product cards to the Focal theme?

Topic summary

Goal: add “product cards” to a store using the Focal theme, which lacks a built‑in setting for this.

Key points:

  • The theme does not provide a native product card option in settings. The suggested approach is custom development rather than a simple toggle.
  • Recommendation: hire a Shopify developer. Rationale given is that implementing product card functionality affects multiple parts of the store and requires conditional logic in Liquid (Shopify’s templating language) to apply the various product card settings.
  • The requester is concerned about not changing the overall look too much. No concrete assurance or scope limitation was provided.

Technical notes:

  • Implementation would involve writing conditions in Liquid files to control product card behavior/appearance. No code snippets or detailed steps were shared.
  • An illustrative screenshot of product card settings was attached, but specifics were not described.

Status/outcome:

  • No definitive solution or step‑by‑step guidance provided. Discussion remains open with a general recommendation to proceed via custom Liquid development or hire a developer.
