Recommended handover

  1. Duplicate VANTA before customization.
  2. Replace all demonstration imagery and copy.
  3. Connect navigation, collections and real products.
  4. Configure Markets, shipping, taxes, policies and checkout.
  5. Install only necessary apps and add them through app blocks.
  6. Run final browser/device/checkout QA before publishing.

Editing without code

Most storefront content is editable from Shopify's Theme Editor. Product data is managed from Products, navigation from Navigation, filters from Search & Discovery, international markets from Markets, and app-specific content from installed app blocks.

Custom code

Custom Liquid blocks are available for controlled merchant customization. Before any direct theme-code edit, duplicate the theme. Custom modifications are the merchant's responsibility to preserve across upgrades.

Demo content license note

The demo catalog is presentation data, not supplier inventory. A buyer should replace product imagery, copy and pricing with content they own or are licensed to use before commercial launch.
