Replace your Default Product Page with GemPages Product Page

By default, your Shopify Product page uses the theme’s built-in layout. But with GemPages, you can design and publish a fully customized product page—and make it your new default. This article walks you through how to:

• Set your custom GemPages Product template as the default for your Online Store.
• Revert back to the original Shopify Product template.
• Manually restore the default Product layout from the Shopify code editor if needed.

Set a GemPages Product Page as the Default Template

Step 1: Go to GemPages Dashboard > Pages > Product, locate the Product page you would like to set as the default.

Step 2: Click on the 3-dot icon to show more options. Next, select “Make Default.”

Step 3: A new window will appear, prompting you to confirm the action.

Click on the “Confirm” button to set this Product page template as the default one for your Online Store. Otherwise, hit “Cancel” to abort.

Revert Back to the Original Shopify Product Template

If you want to switch back to the original Shopify theme layout, follow these steps:

Step 1: Go to GemPages Dashboard > Pages > Product and locate the Shopify Original Product Template, which is always located at the top of your list.

Step 2:  Click on the 3-dot icon to show more options. Next, select “Make default”.

Step 3: Hit the “Confirm” button to proceed with the action.
