Configure Your Storefront Theme

A theme is the complete visual package for your storefront — its layout, colors, fonts, and the sections that make up each page. Drip Merch themes are built so you can customize the look without touching code. This article explains what you can change and how the pieces fit together.

What a Theme Includes

Every theme comes with:

1. A layout — the shared shell (header, footer, page frame) that wraps every page.
2. Sections — reusable building blocks like hero banners, product grids, and newsletters.
3. Theme settings — the colors, fonts, and options you can change from the editor.
4. A color and font palette — sensible defaults that give the theme its personality.

Change Theme Settings

Theme settings let you customize the store without editing anything technical.

1. Open your storefront and go to the editor.
2. Open the theme settings panel to see the options the theme exposes.
3. Adjust values such as primary, secondary, and accent colors, and heading and body fonts.
4. Save to apply your changes across every page that uses those settings.

Because sections read from these shared settings, changing a color once updates it consistently everywhere the theme uses it.

Understand Theme Colors and Fonts

Themes define a small set of core colors and two font roles:

1. Primary, secondary, and accent colors drive buttons, highlights, and backgrounds.
2. Heading and body fonts control your typography.

Keeping these consistent is what makes a store feel polished. Set them once in theme settings and let the sections inherit them.

Switch Themes

You can change your storefront's theme at any time from the Themes section. Your products, pages and content stay in place — only the styling and section presets change.

Next Steps

Once your theme is set, arrange your pages using sections and droplets. See Work with Sections, Droplets, and Templates to learn how pages are built.
