What Is a Page Template on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:59 pm

A page template is a file that tells Shopify how to display the content on a page. You can use page templates to create pages with a specific layout, or to customize the look of your shop’s pages.

There are two types of page templates:

1. Layout templates: these templates control the overall layout of a page, and can be used to create pages with multiple columns, or to change the way that your shop’s sidebar is displayed.

2. Content templates: these templates control the way that your shop’s content is displayed on a page. You can use content templates to change the way that products are displayed on your shop’s product pages, or to create custom pages for your shop.

You can create new page templates by editing the HTML and CSS of your shop’s theme. To learn more about editing your shop’s theme, see Making changes to your theme.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the Shopify page template feature is currently in beta and may not be suitable for all users. If you are unsure about whether or not this feature is right for you, please contact Shopify support for more information.
