Alternate templates
Create a different layout for specific products, collections, or pages.
On this page
An alternate template is a variation of an existing template that you assign to specific resources only. For example: a product template without a size guide for accessories, a "lookbook" page template with a large hero, or an editorial collection template.
Create a template
Open the template selector
In the theme editor, open the dropdown menu at the top of the screen and choose the type (Products, Collections, Pages, and so on).
Create the template
Click Create template, give it a name (for example, accessories), and choose the starting template to copy.
Customize it
Add, remove, or adjust sections and blocks. The original template isn't changed.
Assign the template
In your Shopify admin, open the product, collection, or page, then choose the template in the Theme template card (right-hand column) and save. To update several products at once, use the bulk editor from the products list.
Template ideas with Faubourg
| Template | Idea |
|---|---|
product.gift-card | Remove the shipping collapsible rows and local pickup. |
product.accessories | No size guide; a "Care" drawer instead. |
page.lookbook | A Hero at the top, with the transparent header, followed by Image with text sections. |
page.faq | A Custom section with collapsible rows. |
collection.editorial | Full bleed cards in two columns, with no header. |
Transparent header on an alternate template
The header's transparency is one checkbox, Transparent over an opening image (Header section). When it's checked, the header is transparent on every template, alternate or not, whose first section is a Hero: to get it on page.lookbook, for example, start that template with a Hero. There's no list of templates to fill in. See Transparent header.
