Installation

GazarX installs like any Shopify theme. Allow about 20 minutes to publish, then spend the rest of the time on content and navigation.

1. Install the theme

1. In the Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
2. Under Theme library, choose Add theme → Upload zip file.
3. Select the GazarX zip and wait for the upload to finish.
4. Choose Customize to open the theme editor. Preview the store with Preview when you are ready.
5. When the store looks right, choose Publish.

2. Set up navigation

Go to Online Store → Navigation and review the main menu, footer menu and any account menus.

• The header supports menus with dropdowns and a third level of links.
• Add collections, pages and policies to the menus before customizing the header, so the menus have content to show.
• The footer renders menu columns from a selected menu. Each menu link appears as a column heading when it has child links.

3. Add collections and products

1. Create collections for the store's categories, such as New arrivals, Clothing, Accessories and Sale.
2. Add products with at least one image. Additional images, videos and 3D models appear in the product gallery automatically.
3. Set up variants only where they are needed. Variant images switch when a shopper selects the matching option.
4. For local pickup, enable pickup for the relevant locations under Settings → Shipping and delivery. The pickup block on product pages reads these settings.

4. Compose the homepage

The included homepage uses seven sections in this order:

1. Hero banner
2. Featured collection
3. Image with text
4. Lookbook
5. Quote
6. Featured blog
7. Newsletter

Add the Featured product, Custom Liquid, Contact form or Announcement bar sections from Add section whenever they are needed.

Until you upload your own artwork, GazarX fills empty image slots with bundled sample photography — the hero, collection banner, image with text, lookbook tiles, blog and article images and product cards. Upload an image to any slot and yours replaces the sample immediately. Turn the samples off entirely under Theme settings → Brand → Show sample images in empty slots; slots with no image then show the theme's line-art placeholders.

5. Configure checkout and policies

• Set up the store's payment providers, shipping rates and taxes in Shopify settings. Accelerated checkout buttons appear automatically when a provider is available.
• Add Refund, Privacy and Terms of service policies. Links are available in the footer menu.
• Enable Local pickup and Local delivery if the store offers them.
• Turn on market-specific domains and currencies under Settings → Markets if the store sells internationally. The footer shows country and language selectors when more than one is available.

6. Brand the storefront

1. Open Theme settings → Brand and upload a favicon. A square image of at least 96 × 96 px works best.
2. Set logo, colors, typography and layout under the matching theme setting groups.
3. Upload social sharing images on products, collections, pages and articles. These images are used in social previews and structured data.
4. Add social profile URLs under Theme settings → Social links.

7. Test before publishing

• Complete a test order, including a discounted order and a gift card, using Shopify's test payment gateway.
• Check filters and sorting on collection and search pages.
• Check the cart drawer and cart page at mobile and desktop widths.
• Check keyboard navigation: the skip link, menus, filters and checkout buttons must all be reachable.
• Turn off Theme settings → Brand → Show sample images in empty slots, then upload an image to every slot that still shows a placeholder.
• Run Shopify's Theme check in the editor's More actions menu after any code edits.
