# Product Templates

### Product Templates

Shopify product templates let you control how products are displayed in your store. By default, your theme includes a Default product template that applies to all products unless you assign another one. You can edit this template or create new ones to give different types of products their own layout and features.

### Default Product Template

* The default product template is automatically applied when you add new products.
* You can customize it in the theme editor by adjusting sections (such as product information, media, or recommendations).

### Creating New Templates

* In the theme editor, go to Products > Create template.
* Choose a name (e.g., “Shoes,” “Accessories”) and decide whether to base it on the existing default.
* Customize it with sections that fit that product type.

### Assigning Templates to Products

* In Shopify Admin, open the product you want to edit.
* In the Theme template section, select the template you want to assign.
* Save — your product will now use that layout.

### When to Use Multiple Templates

* Use one template for simple products (e.g., a single item with no variants).
* Use another for variant-heavy products (e.g., clothing with multiple sizes/colors).
* Create templates for different product categories (e.g., one with rich storytelling sections, another that’s streamlined for quick purchases).
