Dossier user guide

Dossier is a Shopify theme for clothing stores with medium and large catalogs. This guide explains how to set it up in the theme editor: the settings that apply to the whole store, then every section with its settings and blocks.

Start here

1. Theme settings: logo, colors, fonts, main menu and product cards. Set them first: every section uses them.
2. Header and footer: the Announcement bar, the Header and the Footer appear on every page.
3. Home page: build it from sections such as Slideshow, Featured collection, Image with text and Rich text.
4. Product and collection pages: Product information, the Collection banner and the Product grid.
5. Cart: the Cart drawer, or the Cart notification if you prefer to send customers to the Cart page.

How a page is built

Each page of your store is a template made of sections, and many sections are made of blocks. In the theme editor, select a section in the sidebar to see its settings, add blocks to it, and drag sections and blocks to reorder them. The header, the footer and the drawers belong to section groups shared by every page: change them once and every page follows.

The first setting of every section links to its page in this guide.

Scheduled promotions

Many sections and promotional blocks can appear and disappear on their own between two dates. See Scheduling.
