Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about Lintel.

Setup

How do I install Lintel?

From the Shopify Theme Store, select Try theme or Buy theme and choose a preset. See Getting started.

Can I switch to another preset after installing?

Presets are starting points. To start over with another preset, add Lintel again from the Theme Store and choose that preset. Settings and content aren’t copied between theme copies, so set up the new copy before publishing it.

Why doesn’t my store look like the demo?

The demo stores use their own products, images and menus. After installing, replace the preset’s placeholder images and text with your own, and set your menus in Online Store > Navigation.

Where do I change “Add to cart” and other built-in text?

In Online Store > Themes > ⋯ > Edit default theme content. See Translations.

Products and collections

How do I show color swatches?

Turn on Show color options as swatches in the Variant picker block, then set a swatch color or image for each Color option value in the product’s variants. See Color swatches.

How do I add filters to collection pages?

Install the free Shopify Search & Discovery app and choose your filters there. Then make sure Enable filtering is on in the Collection section. See Filtering and sorting.

How do I add a size guide?

Add a Size guide block to the Product section and choose a Size guide page, or set a size guide per product with metafields. See Size guide.

How do I choose the products in “Frequently bought together”?

Set the product metafield custom.fbt_products, or set complementary products in the Search & Discovery app. See Frequently bought together.

Do product reviews work with Lintel?

Lintel shows star ratings and the reviews section for review apps that use Shopify’s standard product rating metafields. Many review apps also provide app blocks you can add to the Product section.

Cart and checkout

Does the free shipping bar give free shipping?

No. The bar shows progress only. Set up the free shipping rate or discount in Shopify with the same amount. See Cart.

Can I change the checkout page?

The checkout is hosted by Shopify, not the theme. Change its look in Settings > Checkout.

Design

How do I turn off dark mode?

In Theme settings > Colors, set Default mode to Light and turn off Show light/dark switcher. Every shopper then sees the light palette.

How do I use different colors in one section?

Select the section, turn off Inherit global color scheme, and choose another Color scheme. See Color schemes.

Can I use my own font?

You can choose any font from the Shopify font library in Theme settings > Typography. Uploading a custom font file requires a code change, which our support doesn’t cover.

Updates and support

How do I update Lintel?

When an update is available, Shopify shows it in your theme library. Updating creates a new copy with your settings and content. Code edits aren’t carried over. See Release notes.

Will you customize the theme for me?

Customization isn’t part of theme support. See the support policy. For custom work, we recommend hiring a Shopify Partner.

How do I get help?
