Set up Harvest

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and add Harvest from the Theme Store. It is added to your theme library unpublished, so your live store is not affected.
2. Choose Customize to open the theme editor.
3. Set your logo, fonts and color schemes under Theme settings (the gear icon), then build your home page with sections.
4. Preview the store on desktop and mobile. When you are ready, choose Publish from the theme library.

Pick the preset closest to your products when you add the theme, then change anything in the theme editor. Each preset sets its own fonts and colors.

Color schemes live under Theme settings > Colors. Every section has a Color scheme setting, so you can alternate light and dark bands down a page without editing any colors. Changing a scheme updates every section that uses it. Harvest ships with these schemes:

Each scheme sets Background, Text, Headings, Links, Borders and Shadow, plus background, label and border colors for the primary and secondary buttons. Sections choose a scheme, so you can alternate bands down a page.

Before you edit theme code, duplicate the theme (Actions > Duplicate) and work on the copy. Code changes are not covered by theme updates or support.

Open the theme editor and select the gear icon to find these groups.

• Header: choose the Menu (your main navigation), the Customer account menu, how many Suggestions per result type the search shows, and a Color scheme.
• Footer: choose a Menu, turn Show payment icons on or off, and pick a Color scheme.
• Menus are edited in your admin under Content > Menus.

Add sections from Add section in the theme editor. Every section has its own Color scheme.

Each preset ships its own home page built from these sections, and its own product template. The product page has Product and Recently viewed. The cart page has Cart, Delivery slot and Gift options. Delivery slot shows nothing until you enter time slots.

• Recently viewed remembers up to 12 products in the shopper's own browser. Nothing is stored on your store, and the section stays hidden until there is something to show.
• Contact page: create a page under Online Store > Pages and choose the page.contact template. Messages are sent to your store's contact email.

Harvest's product page can show where a product came from and what is in it. Add these blocks to the Product section in the theme editor. A block with nothing to show stays hidden, so you only publish what you know.

Origin ledger lists a collection as a table of lots, with a date column and two detail columns you can relabel (for example Roasted, Elevation and Process for coffee). Batch board lists a collection by batch with its fill date and availability in words: Available, Pre-order or Sold out.

Batch lookup lets a shopper type the batch number printed on a lid or bag and open that batch's record. Records are Shopify metaobject entries, so no app is needed. Under Settings > Custom data > Metaobjects add a definition with the type handle batch, the fields code, product, place, harvest_date and notes, storefront access set to read, and Render pages on online store turned on with the URL handle batch. Add one entry per batch. The Record page path in the Batch lookup section must match that URL handle.

The lookup needs JavaScript, and it finds an entry whose handle matches the number typed in lower case (HB-0421 becomes hb-0421). Entries created with a different handle are not found.

Pre-order: when a variant is out of stock but you still allow selling it (Continue selling when out of stock), the button changes to Pre-order, the product shows a note, and the choice travels to the cart as a line item property so it appears on the order.

Back in stock: add the Back in stock block to the Product section. The request form appears only when the chosen variant is sold out. In the default Contact mode a request reaches you as an email naming the product and variant, and nothing is stored for the shopper. In Customer mode the shopper becomes a customer tagged back-in-stock and restock-<variant id>, which you can find under Customers.

Harvest does not email the shopper when stock returns. You write to them, or connect your own automation. In Customer mode Shopify also marks that customer as subscribed to email marketing, and the form says so.

Delivery scheduling is optional and off by default in every preset. When you enter time slots, Harvest lets shoppers choose a delivery date and slot in the cart, and shows a countdown to the next order cut-off. Both read the same shop-wide rules under Theme settings > Delivery. Use it for a local delivery round or a weekly dispatch day; leave it empty if you ship nationally.

1. Set your store's time zone under Settings > General. Cut-offs and dates are worked out in that time zone, wherever the shopper is.
2. Fill in the four Delivery settings above.
3. On the cart template, open the Delivery slot section and enter your Time slots, separated by commas (for example 8am - 11am, 11am - 2pm, 2pm - 5pm, 5pm - 8pm).
4. Add the Next delivery slot section to the home, product or collection templates where you want the countdown.

The shopper's choice is saved as the cart attributes Delivery date and Time slot. They appear on the order in your admin. Checkout stays unavailable until a valid date and time slot are chosen.

Harvest records the chosen date and slot; it does not limit how many orders each slot takes or set delivery rates. Set up local delivery and its rates under Settings > Shipping and delivery.

The countdown counts to your real order cut-off, the time that decides which day an order is delivered. It never invents a deadline.

Box builder: add the Box builder section and choose a Collection. Shoppers set a quantity for each product and add everything to the cart in one go. Set Minimum items in box to require a minimum; the add button stays disabled until the box reaches it. Set it to 0 for no minimum.

Reorder page: create a page under Online Store > Pages (for example "Your usual") and choose the page.reorder template. Signed-in customers see the products from their recent orders, one entry per variant, each with a one-tap add button. Show "Add all to cart" adds everything at once and tells the shopper about anything that is no longer available. Visitors who are not signed in see a link to sign in.

The reorder page reads order history from customer accounts, so turn on customer accounts first. Past orders to show sets how many recent orders it looks at.

The trust blocks read the product and variant metafields listed above, and Batch lookup needs the Batch metaobject definition. Everything is optional: leave a field empty and its block stays hidden. The cart features write these cart attributes, which appear on each order:

Saving a gift note never clears the delivery date or time slot, and the other way round.

Harvest uses a cart page. Quantities update in place without reloading the page.

Gift options add a gift wrap checkbox and a gift note to the cart. In Harvest it is the Gift options section on the cart template.

Settings: Heading, Offer gift wrap, Offer a gift note (both on by default), Placeholder for the note field, and Gift note maximum length (200 characters by default).

Choices are saved as the cart attributes Gift wrap (Yes when ticked) and Gift note. They appear on the order in your admin and on packing slips from apps that print cart attributes. Keep the names exactly as they are so those apps can read them.

Gift wrap is a free option by default. To charge for wrapping, create a gift wrap product and sell it as a separate item.

The free shipping progress bar is set under Theme settings > Free shipping bar. It shows on the cart page and tells shoppers how much more they need to spend, then confirms when free shipping is unlocked.

• Turn on Show free shipping progress.
• Set the Free shipping threshold in your store's default currency (50 by default). For shoppers paying in another currency it is converted automatically.
• Optionally change the Progress message (use [amount] where the remaining amount should appear) and the Unlocked message. Leave them blank to use the default wording, which is translated.

The bar only displays a message. Free shipping itself comes from your shipping rates or an automatic discount, so set the same threshold under Settings > Shipping and delivery.

Harvest uses Shopify's customer accounts. Sign-in, order history, order status, addresses, profile and the Buy again action are hosted by Shopify, so they keep working through theme updates. The theme has no legacy account templates to set up or maintain.

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Customer accounts and turn on customer accounts.
2. In the theme editor, select the Header section and choose the Customer account menu. It uses the customer-account-main-menu menu by default; edit it under Content > Menus.
3. The account icon appears in the header on desktop and mobile. Shoppers sign in with a one-time code sent to their email, so there are no passwords to manage.

The account icon only shows while customer accounts are turned on. If it is missing, check Settings > Customer accounts first.

Harvest includes the storefront features every Shopify Theme Store theme provides. They use Shopify's own data and apps, so there is nothing extra to install. Where a feature has options, you find them in the theme editor on the section or block that shows it.

• Product page: the product section is built from blocks. Open the product template in the theme editor to add, reorder or remove blocks such as title, price, variant picker, quantity, buy buttons and description. Buy buttons include dynamic checkout buttons, such as Shop Pay, when they are turned on in your payment settings.
• Filtering and sorting: collection and search pages use Shopify storefront filters. Choose which filters appear, such as availability, price, product type, vendor, variant options or metafields, in the free Shopify Search & Discovery app.
• Product recommendations: related and complementary products come from Shopify's product recommendations. Adjust them per product in the Search & Discovery app.
• Country and language selectors: they appear when your store sells in more than one country or language. Set these up under Settings > Markets and Settings > Languages.
• Newsletter signup: email signups are saved as customers in your admin with email marketing consent, ready for Shopify Email or your email app.
• Follow on Shop: when Shop Pay is turned on, shoppers can follow your store in the Shop app from your storefront. Manage this from the Shop channel in your admin.
• Search suggestions: the header search shows suggestions as shoppers type. Set how many appear for each result type in the Header section.

If your copy of Harvest is missing one of these, check your theme library for an update. Updates add a new copy with your settings carried over, so you can review it before publishing.

Harvest is built to be used with a keyboard and screen readers, and animations stop for visitors who prefer reduced motion. Images load at the size the screen needs, and images below the fold load as the shopper scrolls.

• Add alt text to every product and section image in your admin.
• Keep text and background colors in each color scheme at a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1.
• Compress large images before uploading. Shopify serves them in modern formats automatically.
