Implement Theme Builder in your theme
Guide to implementing Shoporama's Theme Builder in your theme so the merchant can build pages visually.
Theme Builder is a feature in Shoporama that allows you to build your shop more dynamically without in-depth code knowledge. Your developer needs to add support in the theme, after which you can edit sections and content yourself.
What is Theme Builder?
Theme Builder allows you to customize your front page and other pages by choosing from predefined sections. You can:
- Add and remove sections (e.g. banners, product carousels, text)
- Change the order of sections
- Edit content and images in each section
Implementation for developers
To enable Theme Builder in your theme, you need to:
- Define the available sections in your theme
- Create templates for each section type
- Enable Theme Builder in your theme's configuration
Available section types
You can create different types of sections, for example
- Hero banner, large image with text and CTA
- Product carousel, show selected products
- Text section, free text with formatting
- Image gallery, show multiple images in a grid
- USP section, show value propositions
How to use Theme Builder
Once your developer has implemented Theme Builder, you can use it from the admin:
- Go to Account → Online Shop → Theme Builder (URL: /theme-setup/list)
- Click on the theme-setup you want to edit or create a new one
- You will get to the builder itself at /theme_setup/builder
- Add, remove or rearrange sections
- Edit content in each section
- Click Save
Tip for the builder
The Theme Builder is supported by several of Shoporama's default themes, such as Delaware, California, Alaska, and Alaska2, as well as Montana and other updated themes. If you are using a custom theme, your developer must implement support.
