Crochet Co Theme Guide

Welcome to the comprehensive A to Z guide for setting up, customizing, and launching your premium boutique store with the Crochet Co theme.

1. Getting Started

Downloading Your Theme

After purchasing, you will receive a .zip file containing your theme. Do not unzip this file on your computer. You will upload the entire .zip directly to Shopify.

Installing on Shopify

Log into your Shopify Admin. Go to Online Store > Themes. Scroll down to the Theme Library section, click 'Add theme', and select 'Upload zip file'. Choose the Crochet Co .zip file and upload.

Publishing

Once uploaded, it will appear in your Theme Library. You can click 'Customize' to edit it before making it live. When you're ready, click 'Actions' > 'Publish'.

2. Global Settings

Color Palette

Crochet Co uses a premium natural color palette. In the Theme Editor, go to Theme Settings (the gear icon) > Colors. You can configure your Background (Creamy Beige), Text (Deep Espresso), and Accents (Sage Green & Dusty Rose). These colors automatically apply to all buttons, badges, and overlays.

Typography

Under Theme Settings > Typography, you can set your primary and secondary fonts. We strongly recommend using a Serif font (like Playfair Display) for Headings to maintain the boutique aesthetic, and a clean Sans-Serif (like DM Sans) for body text.

Button Styling

Under Theme Settings > Navigation & Buttons, you can toggle between 'Rounded' (pill-shaped) and 'Square' (slightly rounded corners) buttons globally.

3. Header & Navigation

Sticky Header

In the Header section settings, check 'Enable Sticky Header' to keep the navigation visible as customers scroll down the page.

Mega Menu

Create a standard dropdown menu in Shopify Admin > Navigation. The theme automatically converts multi-level dropdowns into a beautiful full-width Mega Menu.

Custom Icons

You can change the color of the header icons (Search, Account, Cart) by selecting a Custom Icon Color in the Header settings.

4. Homepage Features

Video Hero

Add a 'Video Hero' section. You can upload an MP4 directly or provide a YouTube link. Ensure you add fallback text and a CTA button to draw users into your collections.

Trust Badges

Add the 'Trust Benefits' section below the hero. This uses custom SVG icons to highlight features like 'Free Shipping' or 'Handmade Quality'.

Marquee Announcement

Use the Marquee section to display scrolling text (e.g., promotional offers). You can control the scroll speed and background color in the section settings.

5. Product Pages & Cart

Variant Swatches

Color variants are automatically converted into visual swatches. Ensure your variant names accurately describe the color, and the theme will handle the rest.

Product Tabs

In the Product Information block, add 'Collapsible Tab' blocks to organize your Description, Materials, and Shipping information into neat accordions.

Slide Cart & Progress Bar

The theme features a modern slide-out cart. In Theme Settings > Cart, set your 'Free Shipping Threshold' (e.g., 100). The progress bar will automatically calculate how close the customer is to free shipping.
