We offer 17 built-in responsive Templates designed with sellers and their customers' shopping experience in mind. As a seller, you have complete control and can easily change your store's appearance with just a few clicks by switching to a new template in the Design area.

However, if you switch templates (or reset your current template) you will lose any settings attached to your current template, such as header images, custom colors and fonts, and customized template code. Be sure to follow the steps to make switching your template as smooth as possible.
