What you set up outside the theme editor
The few things Manifest uses that live elsewhere in Shopify admin, whether you need them, and where each guide is.
WhereShopify admin: Settings, Online Store, Products and Apps.
Almost everything in Manifest is set in the theme editor. A few features read things you set up elsewhere in your Shopify admin. None of them is required: each has a simpler way, and the store works without it.
- Dietary preferences, allergens, certifications and other details for a kind of product: the product's category and its category details. No setup in the theme. See Product details with no setup.
- A subtitle and a care guide on each product: Shopify's standard Product subtitle and Care guide fields, turned on once. See Product details with no setup.
- Other details that change from product to product (badges, facts, icons, size charts): product metafields. Optional; you can type the text in the editor instead. See Show different details on each product.
- Your own badges: a tag such as badge:New on the product, or a Badges metafield. Sale and Sold out badges are automatic. See Product badges.
- Size charts: a page with your chart. One page for all products, or a page per product with a metafield. See Size charts.
- Team pages: a page per person on the profile template, with four page fields. See Team pages and profiles.
- Filters on collection pages and product suggestions: Shopify's free Search & Discovery app. See Filters and product suggestions.
- Gift wrapping: a product you create, chosen in Theme settings, Cart. See Cart drawer, gift wrap and discounts.
- Menus and dropdowns: Content, Menus. Menu promo cards appear under the top-level item whose name you type. See Header and menus.
- Terms checkbox: your terms of service in Settings, Policies. See Cart drawer, gift wrap and discounts.
- Countries, currencies and languages: Settings, Markets and Settings, Languages. See Countries, currencies and languages.
TipStart with the theme editor alone. Add these one at a time, when you want what they give you. Sidekick, the assistant in your admin, can do much of the typing: see Build Manifest with Sidekick.
