Storefront packs

Choosing the shape of your shop — what appears on the page, and in what order.

A pack decides the shape of your shop — which sections appear on the page and in what order. Seven ship with the platform, free to every shop.

Every pack sells identically. The same product cards, the same stock handling, the same cart, the same checkout. A pack changes the arrangement and nothing else, so switching one can change how your shop looks but can never stop it taking an order.

The packs that come free

Pack	Suits	Shape
Classic	General retail, a first shop	Roomy cards, big header. The safe choice
Compact	Large catalogues, wholesale	More on screen, tighter spacing
Editorial	Fashion, interiors	Tall images, lots of whitespace, few per row
Catalogue	Vehicles, machinery, property	Wide landscape images, price up front
Market	Groceries, pharmacy, spare parts	Small dense tiles, price-led
Atelier	Fashion, jewellery, furniture, studios	Full-bleed opening, written sections between the pieces
Kiosk	Spare parts, hardware, pharmacy counters	No header at all — search is the first thing on the page

Atelier and Kiosk are different in kind

The first five differ in spacing and card shape. Atelier and Kiosk differ in what is on the page, which is a bigger decision than it sounds.

Atelier opens on an image that fills the screen and puts written sections between the products — a story about how you make things, a size-help panel, three promises. It reads like a magazine that happens to sell. It suits a business whose customers browse.

Kiosk has no header, no tagline and no featured rail. Search is the first thing on the page, then category chips, then a dense price-led grid. It suits a business whose customers arrive knowing the part number — for them a full-screen header is a screen's worth of scrolling between them and what they came for.

Tip If you are unsure, ask whether your customers browse or arrive knowing. Browsing wants Atelier or Editorial. Knowing wants Kiosk or Market.

Changing your pack

Open Settings → Storefront
Go there
Pick a pack
The preview shows the shape of the page — where the header sits, where the shop sits, what is between them.
Save
Your shop changes immediately. Nothing about your catalogue, prices, orders or customers is touched.

Note You can change pack as often as you like. It is a presentation setting, not a migration.

Filling in a pack's pictures

Some packs have written sections with image slots — Atelier has one for a workshop photo. A pack never supplies the picture itself; you do, from your own media.

Until you fill a slot it shows a labelled placeholder telling you what belongs there. That is why a freshly installed pack looks unfinished rather than broken.

Note This is a safety rule, not a limitation. A pack that could name its own image URLs could track every visitor to every shop that installed it, change its pictures after review, or take your header down by letting a domain lapse.

What a pack can never do

These are enforced by the platform, not by review. A pack has no way to express any of them:

Run any code on your shop
Load images or fonts from anywhere but your own media
Link your customers to another website
Change what a product card shows, or what the buy button does
Set colours — it picks a role, and your brand colour fills it
Touch your cart, your checkout or your stock

If your shop shows the default layout Settings → Storefront will tell you why. Your shop stays open and keeps taking orders — a layout problem must never close a business.

Building one

A way for developers to build storefront templates is being designed — see Building a storefront pack. It is not ready to build against yet.
