Docs for Nook 1.0.0
FAQ
Short answers about setting up and running Nook.
Setup
Can I try Nook before buying it?
Yes. Choose Try theme on the Theme Store. You can customize it on your own store and preview it, and you only pay when you publish.
Why don't my products show dimensions?
The dimension line and the dimensions tab read product metafields. Create the custom.width, custom.depth and custom.height definitions (and custom.seat_height and custom.narrowest_point if you want them) under Settings › Custom data › Products, then fill them in on each product. See Custom data.
The fit note doesn't show on my product page.
It needs the product's custom.narrowest_point metafield. Add the definition, fill it in on the product, and make sure the Fit note block is in the product page.
Where do the filters come from?
Availability and price filters work out of the box. For more, use the free Shopify Search and Discovery app: add filters there and they appear on collection and search pages. See Filters.
How do I show fabric swatches?
Use Shopify's product category metafields: set the product's category, fill in the Color category metafield with an image for each fabric, and link it to the option. See Swatches.
How do I add a tagline and figures to a collection?
Fill in the collection's custom.tagline and custom.key_figures metafields. See Collection metafields.
Design
How do I change the colors?
Edit the color schemes under Theme settings › Colors. Each section has a Color scheme setting to choose which one it uses.
Can I use a different font?
Yes, any font from Shopify's font library, under Theme settings › Typography. Each style starts with its own: Inter in Nook, Instrument Serif headings in Umber and Jost headings in Shore. Uploaded fonts aren't supported.
Why isn't my header transparent?
The transparent header only works on the home page, when the first section is a Hero video or Collection slideshow. Move one of those to the top of the home page, then check that Show over the first section on the home page is on.
Why does the hero show an image instead of my video?
Shoppers whose device asks for reduced motion see the hero's poster image instead of the video. If you haven't set a poster, Shopify uses the video's preview image.
Selling
Does Nook support subscriptions?
Yes. Install a subscriptions app that uses Shopify selling plans; the product page and cart show the purchase options.
Does it support pickup in store?
Yes. Turn on local pickup under Settings › Shipping and delivery. The product page shows where each variant can be picked up.
Does Nook work in other languages?
Yes. Add languages under Settings › Languages and translate with Shopify's Translate and Adapt app. Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) are supported.
Updates
How do I update Nook?
When a new version is out, Shopify shows an update notice under Online Store › Themes. Updating adds a new copy of the theme with your settings and content carried over. Code edits aren't carried over.
Will an update undo my changes?
Settings, sections and content carry over. Changes you made to theme code don't; keep a list of them so you can reapply them.
Code
Can I edit the theme code?
Yes, but duplicate the theme first and edit the copy. Code changes aren't covered by support. For custom work, hire a Shopify Partner (opens in a new tab).
