Layout templates

A layout template is a saved snapshot of a storefront’s theme, layout, and module settings, bundled together and applied with one click. Think of them as starter packs: instead of choosing a base template and tuning colours, sections, and modules from scratch, you pick a layout template that has all three pre-configured to look good together.

The gallery lives at Dashboard > Customization > Template, above the four built-in template cards.

How layout templates differ from built-in templates

The four built-in templates (Clean, Modern, Stellar, Aurora) are the React components that render your storefront. They define the structural look and behaviour of the page.

A layout template is a configuration snapshot on top of one of those four. It captures:

• Theme tokens. Colours, typography, spacing, and border radius.
• Layout configuration. Section ordering, grid positions, hero settings, footer columns, and per-section configs from the layout editor.
• Module settings. Which modules are enabled and how they are configured. Optional, not every template includes these.

So Clean is a template. “Clean with a purple theme, custom hero, and a Discord module in the sidebar” can be a layout template built on top of Clean.

How layout templates differ from custom templates

Custom templates are Liquid + HTML + CSS code that replace the storefront entirely. They are for developers who want pixel-level control.

Layout templates are the opposite end of the scale. They are no-code presets you click to apply. If you can pick a colour scheme you like, you can use a layout template.

Applying a template

Each card in the gallery shows a preview, a name, and badges for what the template includes (Theme, Layout, Modules). Click Apply Template on the one you want.

A dialog opens with a checkbox for each aspect the template captured. You choose what to overwrite:

• Theme replaces your current colours, typography, and spacing.
• Layout replaces your section ordering and per-section configs.
• Module settings replaces which modules are enabled and their configurations. Only shown if the template ships with module settings.

Anything you leave unchecked is preserved. So if you like your current colours but want to try a new section arrangement, untick Theme and apply only Layout. The base template (Clean, Modern, etc.) is also switched to match what the layout template was built on.

Saving your own templates

Saving your store’s current setup as a layout template is currently restricted to FluxStore staff. Store owners can apply published templates from the gallery but cannot create new ones themselves. If you have built a storefront you would like to share, get in touch with support and we can add it to the gallery.

Are templates per-store or shared?

The gallery is shared across the platform. Every store owner sees the same set of published templates, and applying one to your store does not affect any other store. Templates are not user-uploaded, so you will not see half-finished setups from other servers in your gallery.

When to use a layout template

• You are setting up a brand new store. Picking a template is much faster than building a theme and layout from a blank base. Pick one close to what you want, then fine-tune.
• You want a refresh. Applying a different layout template is a quick way to try a new direction. Leave Module settings unchecked to preserve your existing module setup.
• You want to see what is possible. Applying a few different templates is the fastest way to learn what the theme editor and layout editor can do before you customise from scratch.

If you have already invested time in a custom theme or layout and only want to adjust a few details, use the editors directly. Applying a template will overwrite that work for whichever aspects you tick.

• Fine-tune the applied result in the theme editor.
• Rearrange sections in the layout editor.
