Pages

Open Online Store › Pages. Pages are standalone pages such as About us, FAQ or Contact.

The list

Each page shows its title, its address, when it last changed and whether it is Visible or Hidden on your store; a visible page’s address opens it on your store in a new tab. Search pages finds a page by its title, the tabs keep Visible, Hidden or Landing pages, and you can order the list by title. Tick pages to Show, Hide or Delete them together; deleting asks first, and Time travel can bring them back.

Add or change a page

Add page opens the page editor:

• Title and Content. Create page without a title says Enter a title under the field and takes you to it. Write beside the content asks the assistant for a draft: say what it should say, read it, and Use it puts it in. Nothing saves until you do, and each draft costs AI credits, as on products, collections and blog posts. The content has three views: Visual for writing with formatting, HTML for the markup itself, and Preview for how your store shows it, in your theme’s style. The Visual toolbar has a paragraph’s style (paragraph or headings 2 to 6; heading 1 is the page’s own title), bold, italic, underline, Text colour, lists, quotes, links, Insert image (a picture uploaded or chosen from Content › Files, with its description) and Insert table (with a header row; Table then adds or removes rows and columns), and Clear formatting, as on a product’s description. On a phone the toolbar is one row: the arrow at its end shows the rest. Your store removes anything unsafe, such as scripts, and keeps only pictures from your own files.
• Visibility: Visible or Hidden. A hidden page cannot be opened on your store.
• Search engines: a drawing of how the page shows in search results, then the Page title and Meta description that search results show (each says how many of its characters results show), and the URL handle, the last part of the page’s address. Leave the handle empty to make it from the title. Hide from search engines keeps the page out of search results and your sitemap.
• Theme template: another layout for this page, made in the theme editor.

Create page saves a new page; after that, Apply in the bar at the top (it says Unsaved changes while something is not saved) saves changes. A visible page has View on store. When you change a handle, the old address leads to the new one (see URL redirects).

If the page is changed elsewhere while you are typing (by the assistant or a colleague), your typing stays and a note says so: Apply saves your changes over the newer page, and Load the latest page shows the newer one and discards yours.

Duplicate copies a saved page (its text, search listing, template and languages) into a hidden page titled “Copy of…” and opens it. Delete page removes a page, after you confirm.

Landing pages for ads

New landing page makes a page of its own for an ad, copied from your store:

• Name: also the page’s title, such as “Summer sale”. Address is made from it (/pages/summer-sale); type another if you like.
• Start from: Your homepage (all of its sections, as they are now), A page (its sections and design), or A product’s page (the product to buy right there, with the sections around it; the parts that only make sense on the product’s own page are left out).
• Hide from search engines (ticked): for a page only your ads lead to. Search engines leave it out and it is in no sitemap.

Create and design it opens the theme editor on the new page’s own design, so changing it never changes what it came from. The list marks it Landing page, and Hide from search engines stays under Search engines on the page, for any page.
