Volt theme guide

Installation

1. Upload the zip: Online Store → Themes → Add theme → Upload zip file.
2. Click Customize. Set your logo and favicon under Theme settings → Logo.
3. Set menus: the header uses your Main menu and the footer uses the Footer menu (Content → Menus in Shopify admin).
4. Walk the homepage sections top to bottom. Every block of demo copy can be replaced from the editor sidebar.
5. Preview on mobile with the editor's device toggle, then Publish.

Theme settings

Open the theme editor (Customize) → Theme settings.

1. Presets: Midnight, Carbon and Daylight (light mode). Switch styles from Theme settings in the theme editor; your content stays.
2. Typography: headings default to Space Grotesk and body text to Inter.
3. Header: choose which menu link is your drops link in the header section settings.
4. Colors: Theme settings → Colors. Colors are organized as schemes, and every section has a scheme picker, so you restyle the whole store by editing schemes rather than section by section.
5. Fonts come from Shopify's font library and load with font-display: swap. Change them under Theme settings → Typography.
6. Search: turn predictive search on or off, and choose whether results show vendor and price.
7. Cart: choose a drawer or a cart page, show or hide the order note, and set the free-shipping progress bar and its threshold.

Product pages

1. The product template comes preconfigured: vendor and SKU, title, spec chips, drop countdown, price, variant picker, quantity selector, buy buttons, pickup availability, description, feature, spec table, shipping tab, share and complementary products.
2. The buy box is sticky. Turn stickiness off in the product section settings.
3. Sold-out variants show a notify-me state. Turn it off in the buy buttons block.
4. Reorder, remove or add blocks in the product section. App blocks from installed apps appear in the block list.
5. Variant options render automatically. Color swatches use Shopify's native swatch values on your options.
6. Subscriptions: install any selling-plan app and the plan picker appears on products with selling plans.
7. Gift cards: the recipient form (send to a friend with a message) appears on gift card products.
8. Local pickup: enable pickup locations in Shopify settings and availability shows under the buy buttons.

Collections and filtering

1. On desktop, filters open as dropdown panels in the toolbar. On mobile they open in a filter and sort drawer.
2. Filters come from Shopify's free Search & Discovery app. Choose which filters appear under Search & Discovery → Filters.
3. Sorting, pagination and empty states are built in. Product cards show sale and sold-out badges from your catalog data.

Volt’s own sections

Add these from the theme editor with Add section. They sit alongside the standard sections (slideshow, image banner, image with text, multicolumn, featured collection, featured product, collapsible content, rich text, video, testimonials, blog posts, newsletter, contact form, custom Liquid and apps).

Metafields

Optional product metafields that unlock extra features (Settings → Custom data → Products in Shopify admin):
