Theme setup

Start with the store-wide choices that shape everything else: colors, typography, spacing, navigation, templates, and Shopify-native content.

Open setup guide

First hour setup

Follow a time-boxed path for brand baseline, navigation, home page, product, collection, cart, search, forms, and mobile checks before polishing.

Start the checklist

Editor workflow

Decide whether a change belongs in Shopify Admin, Theme settings, templates, sections, blocks, apps, Custom HTML, Custom Liquid, or code.

Open workflow guide

Sections and templates

Start with task-based section guides, then use the full section catalog only when you need a specific control or behavior.

Missing content

Check Shopify source data, preview context, visibility conditions, and feature prerequisites before changing theme code.

Check content sources

Troubleshooting

Work through common image, spacing, form, popup, button, app, and update issues, or use the guide to collect useful diagnostics for support.

Troubleshoot issues

Support policy

Check what Guild support includes, what is outside standard support, and what to include in a bug report.

Review support scope

AI-assisted setup

Use the public Guild AI context file when asking ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another AI assistant for merchant-facing setup guidance.

View changelog

Start here ​

Documentation scope: Guild 0.1.x pre-release builds. The exact public release version will be confirmed in the changelog before Theme Store publication.

Use Getting started first when you need the full setup flow. Use First hour setup when you need a time-boxed path from a fresh theme install to a useful unpublished preview.

Use Why content is missing when expected Shopify data or a data-dependent Guild component does not appear. Use Troubleshooting when a layout looks off, a setting appears to do nothing, or a storefront state needs a quick sanity check.

Use Contact support whenever you need help with a Guild setting, documented behavior, or a suspected theme bug. The relevant guide can speed up diagnosis, but reading the documentation or testing an unmodified duplicate is not a prerequisite for opening a support request.
