Getting started

Four steps from download to a store that looks like yours.

Pixelion is set up on two levels. In «Customize» › «Theme settings» you choose what applies to the whole store: logo, colors, typography, buttons and cards. Then, on each template, you add sections with «Add section» and, inside them, blocks with «Add block». Every page of this Help Center explains what a section or settings group does and when it is worth using.
