Theme editor

You can use the settings_schema.json file to configure the theme settings that merchants can access using the theme editor. A merchant accesses the editor by clicking Customize from the Themes page of their ShopBase admin

File format

The settings_schema.json file contains the definitions for your theme settings, grouped into sections according to the setting type. The grouping of the settings in settings_schema.json is reflected in the theme editor.

There are two categories of theme setting:

• Section settings: These control the settings that can be configured by merchants.

• Sidebar settings: These are not configurable by the merchant. They control informational elements (headers and paragraphs), which you can use to add detail and clarity to the theme editor sidebar.
