General

Which Shopify plans does Anvil work on?

Every plan. Volume pricing and quantity rules need Shopify B2B, which is available on Shopify Plus. Everything else works on all plans.

Do I need any apps for filters, search, or variants?

No. Filters, sorting, search suggestions, SKU search, the variant picker, the bulk order table, and the cart are all built into the theme. The free Shopify Search & Discovery app is only used to choose which filters appear and to pick complementary products.

Can I use Anvil on more than one store?

A theme purchase is valid for one store. To use Anvil on another store, buy it again from that store. Shopify lets you transfer a theme between stores you own. See Shopify's help center for details.

How do I update Anvil without losing my settings?

In Online Store > Themes, click Update on the update banner. Shopify adds an updated copy with your settings and content. Code edits you made yourself aren't copied, so note them before you update. See Updating Anvil.

Can I translate the theme or sell in several languages?

Yes. Edit any theme text in Online Store > Themes > … > Edit default theme content. To sell in several languages, add them in Settings > Languages and translate content with the Shopify Translate & Adapt app. Turn on the language selector in the footer.

Catalog

Why don't my specifications show on the product page?

Check these three things:

  1. The product has a value for the metafield.
  2. The key in the Specifications block matches the metafield exactly, including the namespace, for example custom.material.
  3. Each line uses the format Label: namespace.key.

See Specifications.

How do I show specifications in the collection list layout?

Select the Product grid section on the collection template and enter up to 3 keys in Specification metafields, separated by commas. Do the same in the Search results section and the Featured collection section.

My filters don't appear. What should I check?

Make sure you've added filters in the Search & Discovery app and that Enable filtering is on in the section. Filters only list values that exist on products in the collection, and they don't show on collections with more than 5,000 products.

Why don't I see the bulk order table?

It only appears on products with more than one variant. Check that the Bulk order table block is added to the product template and isn't hidden.

Why does a product show no stock message?

Stock messages need inventory tracking. Turn on Track quantity for the variant in your admin. Anvil only shows real stock levels.

What image sizes should I use?

Use product images at least 2048 px wide, ideally square, on a plain background. For the hero banner, use 2400 × 1200 px, and add a 3:4 image in Image on small screens if your banner has important details at the edges.

Design

How do I change colors?

Edit the color schemes in Theme settings > Colors, then choose a scheme in each section's Color scheme setting. See Color schemes.

Can I turn off uppercase headings?

Yes. Turn off Use uppercase headings in Theme settings > Typography.

Can I remove the lines between product cards?

Yes. Turn off Show grid lines on cards in Theme settings > Layout.

Can I add my own code?

Use the Custom Liquid section or block for small additions. If you edit theme files directly, duplicate the theme first. Custom code isn't covered by theme support, and code edits aren't kept when you update. For bigger changes, consider hiring a Shopify Partner.
