Getting started with Waypoint
Waypoint is a technical apparel Shopify theme built around spec-sheet product storytelling: monospace labels, hairline grids, engineered layouts, and a volt accent. It runs on Shopify-native settings only. No app is required and no code editing is needed for any documented feature.

Quick start
- Pick a style. Open Theme settings, then Colors. Waypoint ships three presets: Waypoint (ink and paper with a volt accent), Carbon (blackout), and Sand (warm neutrals). Each preset is a complete color-scheme set; your content and media stay the same when you switch.
- Set your logo and favicon. Theme settings, Logo and favicon. Upload a standard logo, an optional mobile logo, and a favicon (scaled down to 32 x 32px).
- Create menus. In Navigation, create a
main-menufor the header and a footer menu. The header turns top-level items into a mega menu when you add Mega menu panel blocks (see the setup guide). - Choose header and footer styles. The Header section has a Style select (utility, editorial, commerce). The Footer has its own (system, compact, editorial, split).
- Add product data. Product pages read a small set of optional metafields for spec-sheet content. Products render correctly without them; each empty field simply does not appear. See product setup.
What the demo store shows
Every feature on the demo store is built into the theme: the mega menu, the kit builder with bundle pricing, lookbook hotspots, the drop countdown, the route map, quick view, predictive search, faceted filtering, and the sticky add-to-cart bar. Nothing on the demo comes from an app.
