Pages & Templates

Standard Shopify page templates and how DRIFT renders each one.

Shopify has several standard page templates that every store needs. DRIFT renders each one with its own design.

Standard templates

Template	What it's for
Home	Your homepage. Customizable with sections (feed, collection list, etc.)
Product	Individual product pages. Uses the Product Stack section
Collection	Lists of products. Uses the Collection section
Cart	The full cart page (separate from the cart drawer)
Page	Generic content pages (About, Contact, Shipping, etc.)
Blog	Blog index page
Article	Individual blog post
Search	Search results page
404	Page-not-found error page
Password	Pre-launch password protection page
Account	Customer account dashboard

Customizing a template

1. Open the theme editor

2. Use the dropdown at the top to switch between templates (Home, Product, Collection, etc.)

3. Add or remove sections specific to that template

4. Save

Customization is per-template. Adding a section to the homepage doesn't show on product pages, and vice versa.

Creating a custom template

If you need a unique layout for a specific page (e.g., a special drop page), create a custom template:

1. Theme editor → top dropdown → Create template

2. Name it (e.g., "drop-launch")

3. Customize sections for that template only

4. In the page admin (or product/collection admin), assign the page to the new template

Pages most stores need

• Homepage — the main entry point

• Shop / All Products — a general collection of everything

• About — your brand story

• Contact — how to reach you

• Shipping & Returns — what to expect

• Privacy Policy — required in most jurisdictions

• Terms of Service — required in most jurisdictions

• Refund Policy — required if you accept refunds

• FAQ — common questions answered

Shopify auto-generates Privacy, Terms, and Refund pages from Settings → Policies. Just paste in the auto-generated content; you can customize before publishing.
