Name a template or replace an existing one

We fill in Template name for you. To change it, open Advanced settings. If the name exists on that theme, we ask you to replace that template or save a new one. Replacing overwrites it, and products using it change right away.

Set the name

1. Start a product page build and pick your product.
2. Open Advanced settings.
3. Type in Template name.

Names use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, up to 40 characters. We fix anything else. A blank name becomes section-store.

We start with these names:

• Specific product: the product's name.
• Collection: collection- plus the collection's name.
• Any product: store-wide.
• Import from link: aliexpress- or cj- plus the supplier's product number.

Home pages and any pages have no name field. Their templates are named ai-home- or ai-page- plus a number.

When the name is taken

You see "This name is taken in this theme." When you click Generate, a warning opens with two choices:

• Replace template: we overwrite that template. Products using it show the new page right away.
• Save as: we keep both and add a number to the new name, like my-page-2.

Pick Save as if you aren't sure. A replaced template can't be brought back from the app.
