## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Always start with theme_info** - Required first object
|
|
2. **Group related settings** - Use clear category names
|
|
3. **Add headers** - Organize settings within categories
|
|
4. **Provide defaults** - All settings should have sensible defaults
|
|
5. **Include info text** - Help merchants understand settings
|
|
6. **Use paragraphs** - Add context for complex categories
|
|
7. **Set proper ranges** - Min/max values that make sense
|
|
8. **Test thoroughly** - Ensure settings work across all sections
|
|
|
|
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
|
|
|
- ❌ Forgetting theme_info object
|
|
- ❌ Not providing defaults
|
|
- ❌ Using unclear labels
|
|
- ❌ Missing info text for complex settings
|
|
- ❌ Setting unrealistic min/max ranges
|
|
- ❌ Duplicate setting IDs
|
|
- ❌ Wrong setting types for use case
|
|
|
|
Create comprehensive global settings that make theme customization intuitive for merchants.
