Theme Settings Product Tiles

Multipurpose Fashion Theme

Product Tiles control how products appear inside collection pages, homepage grids, and recently viewed sections. These settings affect layout, image behavior, hover effects, and product interaction.

Access path:
Shopify Admin → Online Store → Themes → Customize → Theme settings → Product Tiles

1. Enable Quick View

Setting ID: enable_quick_view

Adds a popup modal that shows product details without leaving the collection page.

Use this to reduce navigation friction and increase conversion.

2. Enable Quick Add

Setting ID: enable_quick_add

Adds an "Add to Cart" button directly inside the product card.

Best for simple products without many variants.

3. Product Image Ratio

Setting ID: product_image_ratio

  • Natural
  • Landscape (4:3)
  • Portrait (2:3)
  • Square (1:1)

This forces consistent image proportions across the grid.

Portrait works best for fashion. Square works best for electronics or accessories.

4. Zoom Image to Fill Space

Setting ID: zoom_image_to_fill_space

If enabled, images crop slightly to fill full container.

Disable if product images contain important edge details.

5. Hover to Reveal Second Image

Setting ID: hover_to_reveal_second_image

When user hovers over product, second product image appears.

Improves product engagement and browsing experience.

6. Enable Color Swatches

Setting ID: enable_color_swatches

Displays color options directly inside product tile.

7. Swatch Style

  • Round
  • Square

Match swatch style to overall edge design.

8. Product Tile Style

Setting ID: product_tile_style

Controls overall card design layout:

  • Simple
  • Grey round
  • White square
  • Thick grid
  • Minimal
  • Thin grid

Choose minimal for modern brands. Choose thick grid for bold stores.

9. Image Breathing Room

Setting ID: image_breathing_room

Adds spacing inside image container. Higher value = more white space.

Use moderate values (5–15%) for balanced design.

10. Recently Viewed Layout

Desktop Products Per Row

Controls number of products per row on desktop. Range: 2 to 6.

Maximum Products to Show

Controls how many recently viewed products appear. Range: 2 to 20.

Avoid overcrowding by limiting to 4–8 products.
