What's inside Polyform

  1. Choose between Polyform and Mellow visual styles

    The Polyform theme provides two distinct visual styles to match different brand identities:

    • Polyform (Default): A sleek, minimalist, and sophisticated design intended for high-end, modern brands such as luxury goods, fashion, and lifestyle products.
    • Mellow: A relaxed, warm, and approachable design intended for casual brands such as home goods, food, toys, and handmade products.

  2. Use the Custom Liquid section in Polyform theme

    The Custom Liquid section in the Polyform theme allows developers and store owners to inject custom Liquid code, HTML, and CSS directly into the store. This is used to implement features not available in standard Shopify settings, such as embedding third-party widgets, creating conditional dynamic content (e.g., messages for logged-in users), or applying advanced layout customizations.

  3. Understand automatic RTL language detection

    The theme natively supports Right-to-Left (RTL) languages and automatically switches the layout when one of the following language codes is detected:

    • ar (Arabic)
    • az (Azerbaijani)
    • dv (Divehi/Maldivian)
    • he (Hebrew)
    • fa (Persian/Farsi)
    • ur (Urdu)

    When RTL mode is active, text alignment switches to the right, UI elements and icons adapt to the RTL flow, and the page structure is mirrored to match native reading behavior.

  4. Polyform and Mellow theme capabilities

    Polyform and Mellow themes are designed for rapid store deployment and global scalability with the following characteristics:

    • Market Optimization: Specifically crafted for the European market with optimized navigation, while remaining versatile for worldwide use.
    • No-Code Customization: Allows store creation and customization without requiring technical knowledge or manual coding.
    • Pre-Built Components: Includes a library of customizable pre-built sections and features for homepage layouts and product displays.

  5. Configure the Image Banner section

    The Image Banner is used to display a high-quality image with optional overlay text and a call-to-action button. It is suitable for promotions, new product highlights, or important announcements.

  6. Configure the Lookbook section in Polyform

    The Lookbook section is used to showcase a collection of images in a grid format, typically for seasonal collections or inspirational looks. It allows for a combination of curated images and specific product links to enhance the shopping experience.

  7. Install Polyform or Mellow themes via Shopify Theme Store

    To install the Polyform or Mellow theme, follow these steps in the Shopify admin:

    1. Navigate to Sales channels > Online store > Themes.
    2. Select Visit Theme store from the Add theme dropdown.
    3. Search for "Polyform" or "Mellow".
    4. Select the theme from the results.
    5. Use Try theme to download the theme for free into your store for testing.
    6. Verify the theme appears in the Theme library section (refresh the page if necessary).

    Licensing Note: To receive a valid license, the theme must be purchased through the Shopify Theme Store. The license is valid only for the specific store where it was originally purchased.

  9. Assign the FAQ template to a Shopify page

    To use the FAQ accordion layout, you must assign the faq template suffix to a page in the Shopify Admin and then access it via the theme editor.
    1. Log in to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Pages.
2. Click 'Add page'.
3. In the 'Template' section (right side), select 'faq' from the Template suffix dropdown.
4. Save the page.
5. Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize.
6. In the top dropdown menu, select 'Pages' and then choose the specific FAQ page created.

  10. Manage store behavior after activating Hide Price

    Once the Hide Price feature is activated, the following behaviors and configuration requirements apply:

    • Lead Generation: When a customer submits the 'Request a Price' form, an email is automatically sent to the store owner.
    • UI Changes: Prices are hidden on the product detail page and replaced by the request form.
    • Required Adjustments: To ensure a consistent user experience, the following settings should be modified:
      • Product Card: Set the product hover button to something other than 'Quick Buy' (Theme settings → Product card).
      • Product Badges: Hide 'Discount Product Badges' to prevent them from appearing on hidden prices (Theme settings → Product badges).
      • Product Page: Hide the Quantity selector block (Product page → Product information section → Quantity selector block).

  11. Access and customize the product page template

    To modify the product page layout and settings in the theme customizer:

    1. Navigate to Customize.
    2. Select Products, then choose Default product.
    3. To access general template settings, click Product page in the left sidebar.
    4. To manage specific layout blocks, click the toggle beside Product page to reveal and configure the available blocks.

  12. Set up a subcollection menu on the Collection page

    Subcollections are displayed by referencing a Shopify navigation menu where collections are nested. The first-level link names serve as identifiers for the menu display. To implement this:

    1. Create a new menu in the Shopify Admin with nested collections.
    2. In the Shopify Customizer, navigate to the Default Collection page template.
    3. Select the Collection banner block.
    4. In the right sidebar, click 'Select collection menu' and choose the created menu.
