šŸ“½ļø Video: How to use the Custom CSS field

If youā€™ve updated your theme in the past year you should see a custom CSS field at the bottom of each section. This allows you to edit the appearance of just that section.

You donā€™t need to edit your theme files anymore to make CSS changes on your store, which makes it a lot easier for store owners with just basic coding knowledge. It also makes it easier to update your theme, because you wonā€™t have custom code in your theme files.

Many people were interested in a tabbed content section without using an app, so I built one.

Itā€™s very easy to install and can be used anywhere across your store. It can hold different types of content:

  • Product description

  • Rich text

  • Custom Liquid / HTML

  • Another page from your store (e.g. shipping or size chart)

  • App Blocks (e.g. reviews)

Buy it once and keep it for life with unlimited updates when I add new features.

This code snippet creates a checkbox that your customer must click in order to buy the product.

If you often have customers asking for refunds because of a mistake with sizing or some other detail, this can be a way to make them double-check.

Itā€™s easy to adjust the wording to your needs.
