Product template

Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.

Product templates control the content, layout, and style of your product pages. In the theme editor, you can customize the product media, product overview, and overall page design with Context's theme settings and sections.

This guide provides an overview of product page templates and features, with links to tutorials for product page styles, blocks, and sections.

Shopify | Creating and managing products is a Shopify feature. Themes provide templates to style your product pages created in your Shopify admin. See Shopify's Products manual to learn more.

Quick setup

Product templates have a preset layout with a Product overview section that includes blocks for product details, variant selectors, buy buttons, and additional features like complementary products and an information popup.

Use the Templates selector in the theme editor to open a product template. You can modify the page style and layout, product overview blocks, and further customize the page with theme sections.

The Product overview section is made of default and custom blocks that you can edit and rearrange.

We recommend starting by hiding or removing the default sections you don't want to use.
