Tips

  • Use the preset styles available in the Style settings and further customize your fonts and colors to match your brand.

  • A transparent background for your logo is recommended.

  • Choose the alternating layout to highlight fewer products with more emphasis, or the standard grid layout to showcase more products.

  • For optimal display, use an image resolution of 1200px by 600px for your hero image.

  • If choosing to display a text and/or button on top of the hero image, check that the Hero Overlay and Hero Text colors make it so they are legible against the hero image.
