Datum documentation

Datum is a Shopify theme for stores that let their products speak: large pictures, quiet type, and every page built from sections you can rearrange. This documentation explains how to set it up and what each setting does.

Start here

• Getting started: add the theme, find your way around the theme editor, and set up your brand.
• Collections and looks: categories, looks, collection links, editorial images and filters.
• Menus: the navigation, the large panels on desktop, and the footer.
• Products: the product page, labels, swatches, size guides, stock and 3D models.
• Pages and search: the contact page, legal pages, the journal, search and the password page.
• Bag, pop-ups and markets: the bag, shipping wording, pop-ups, the welcome screen, cookies and languages.
• Frequently asked questions

Reference

The sidebar lists every Theme settings category, every section and every block, with each setting as the theme editor names it. Use the search at the top to find a setting by its name.

Before you change code

Always duplicate your theme before editing its code (Online Store › Themes › … › Duplicate). Theme updates can't carry code changes over, and we can't support changes made to the theme's code. For custom work, hire a Shopify Partner.

Need help?

If something doesn't work as described here, contact support. We reply within two business days. Support covers questions about Datum and fixes to the theme's own code; changes to the code, custom features and third-party apps aren't included. The full support policy is on the support page.
