Storefront

The Storefront module in Zoho Commerce allows you to customise your online store’s existing theme, add a store logo, provide contact information, and many configure more settings related to your online store.

Customize Theme

You can customize your online store’s existing theme as per your requirements. The customisation can range from editing each element in a single page to selecting colours that are brand-compliant and so much more.

To do so:

• Click Storefront on the left sidebar.
• Click Customize or click the dropdown and click Visual Editor based on your requirement and make the necessary changes.

Customization allows you to edit existing elements manually or add new elements to every page. Visual Editor allows you to modify aspects like icons, layouts, and more. You can also preview all your changes before saving them. For the changes to reflect on your online store, click Save if you’re using the Visual Editor and Publish if you’re using Customization.
