Kaolin

1. In the Shopify admin, open Online Store > Themes > Add theme > Upload zip file and upload the Kaolin package.
2. When the upload finishes, open Customize to set your logo, fonts and colors, then publish the theme.
3. Check the navigation menus Kaolin expects: a Main menu (two levels render best) and a Footer menu. Both exist in a new store already.
4. Choose a collection for the featured collection section, and pick images for the opening spread, lookbook and editorial sections.
5. Add your social profiles under Theme settings > Social so the footer icons appear.

Kaolin ships one preset, also named Kaolin. Uploading the package and opening the editor is all that is required — no app is needed for any feature in this theme.

Typography

• Heading font, body font — any face from Shopify's font library. The default pairing is a high-contrast serif against a neutral sans; keep the contrast.
• Heading size, body text size — a global scale in percent, so type can grow without editing CSS.
• Small label style — uppercase with wide tracking (default), or sentence case without tracking. One switch changes every eyebrow, button label and section caption.

Colors

Eight color settings: background, text, rule, accent, button background, button text, badge background, badge text. Brand colors set here apply across the storefront, including checkout entry points.

Layout

• Maximum page width — 1200 to 1920 px. Wide values suit large furniture photography.
• Section spacing — vertical rhythm between sections.
• Media corner radius — 0 by default; the theme is built on square corners.
• Show chapter marks — draws the numbered margin rail on large screens.
• Sticky header — keeps the header pinned while scrolling.

Product cards

Image ratio, vendor on or off, quick add, hover second image, and color swatches. Quick add sends single-variant products straight to the cart and sends multi-variant products to the product page.

Cart

A drawer (default) or a cart page. The order note field can be turned off independently of that choice.

Search

Predictive search with a result limit of two to ten products. Search results and collections both support storefront filtering when filters are defined in the Shopify admin.

Every section below can be added to any JSON template, reordered, or removed in the theme editor. All of them accept app blocks where Shopify allows app blocks.

Every template is JSON except the password layout and the gift card template, which must stay Liquid.

The product form is assembled from blocks, so the order is yours to set. The default order is below.

Selecting a variant updates the price, compare-at price, unit price, SKU, button label and availability, rewrites the browser URL, and scrolls the gallery to the variant image.

• The header menu supports two levels: second-level links open a panel, third-level links list inside it. The mobile menu renders three levels.
• Country and language selectors appear in the footer whenever the store has more than one market or published language.
• Follow on Shop appears in the header when the store has enabled it.
• Customer accounts appear in the header; the account link falls back to the classic login page when new customer accounts are off.

Kaolin has a single preset named Kaolin. The home template ships with two opening slides, a featured collection, three lookbook tiles, two room panels, one editorial block, a blog row and a newsletter block, so a fresh install already looks finished. Replace the copy and images with your own; placeholder art appears wherever an image is missing.

Setting up a store from scratch: create the collections first, then the products, then the menus. Sections fall back gracefully, so it is safe to publish before the catalogue is complete.
