General settings

Found in the theme editor under the paint bucket icon (bottom-left of the sidebar) in Online Store → Themes → Customize. These settings are global — they set the defaults for the whole store, rather than one page or section.

  • Layout — section padding and the spacing between content and blocks.
  • Typography — fonts, sizing, tracking/line-height, uppercase, and the styling of product pills and badges.
  • Color schemes — the reusable color palettes used throughout the site, plus status and badge colors.
  • Corner radius — how rounded corners are on the header, footer, buttons, and content boxes.
  • Button hover style — the animation buttons use on hover.
  • Color swatches — swatch colors for product variant options like Color.
  • Product card — how products look in grids and carousels across the store.
  • Collection card — how collections look in grids and lists.
  • Blog card — how blog articles look in grids and carousels.

Two further global settings groups exist but aren’t listed as their own guide, since they’re self-explanatory:

  • Favicon — upload the small icon shown in browser tabs (scaled to 32 × 32px).
  • Social media — the URLs for Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok and Snapchat, used by social icon blocks throughout the theme (header, footer, icon cards, etc.).
