How to Use GemPages Pages as Homepage in Shopify
To get started, you need to have a homepage. GemPages gives you two options to create a homepage: one is to create a brand-new page, and the other is to change the page type of an existing page to a homepage.
Option 1: Create a New Homepage in GemPages
If you don’t have any pages yet and want to create a homepage from scratch:
- Open the GemPages Dashboard. Click on Create New Page.
- Choose the page type as Homepage. Create it from scratch or choose a template to design.
- Use the GemPages drag-and-drop editor to design your homepage.
- Once your design is complete, click Save & Publish.
Option 2: Change an Existing Page to a Homepage

- Locate the page you want to set as the homepage in the GemPages Dashboard.
- Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the right-hand side of the selected page (landing page or product page for instance) and hit the Clone to other page types option from the dropdown menu.

- Click Confirm to finish.
Set the Page Created by GemPages as the Default Home Page
Whichever method you choose, your homepage can be found in GemPages page listing. To make it the default homepage (replace the current homepage), follow these steps:
- Open the GemPages Dashboard. Go to the Home section.
