Tips for working with a design editor

When you start working with your website, we recommend that you choose one of our ready-made themes that are created by designers taking into account all the needs of an online store. After that, with the help of the design editor, you will be able to adapt the chosen store theme to your preferences and corporate identity.

Please note:

  • Think in advance what colors you want to see on the website, decide on banners and elements you want to see on the home page, in the product card, etc.

  • To see the changes you made in the editor on the site pages, you need to save the changes.

  • You won't be able to undo edits made in the design editor. To revert to the previous version of the design, you need to set the appropriate values in the settings again.

  • Do not try to work with the editor on different devices or in different tabs at the same time.

  • Certain settings are accompanied by pop-up tips that explain how to use them.
