Getting started

Install Celestine, set up the essentials and publish a store that looks finished on day one.

Celestine is a Shopify theme for skincare, makeup and other considered product ranges. Everything in this guide happens in Online Store → Themes → Customize (the theme editor). You don't need code or apps.

How Celestine is organized

  • Theme settings (the paint-brush icon) control store-wide design: colors, fonts, shapes, animation and cart behavior.
  • Sections are the building blocks of each page. Add, reorder and hide them in the left sidebar.
  • Blocks live inside sections: headings, text, buttons, slides, questions and so on. Many can be nested.
  • Templates decide which sections a page type uses. Create extra templates (for example a different product layout) under Templates → Create template.
Tip: changes in the editor are saved to the theme you're editing only. Duplicate your theme before large changes so you always have a fallback.
