    4. How to show product basic information (title, price, description, etc.)?

    a) Product title and Vendor name

    By default, the product title and vendor name are displayed in the product page. The vendor name appears above the product title. 

    If you want to rearrange this order, follow these steps:

    • Disable the "Show product title" and "Show product vendor" settings in the section settings. 
    • Then, add two separate blocks for the product title and vendor name. Additionally, you can adjust the size of the product name as needed (Vendor name cannot be resized.

    You can link the vendor name to a page showcasing the vendor's corresponding products on the product page. Additionally, you have the option to link to a popup page without leaving the current page, or to an external URL. 

    To provide more details about a product's vendor, you can set it up following the priorities below:

    • Link Vendor to Associated Collection: When you tick the "Link vendor to associated collection" option, either in a specific section or block, depending on where vendor details are displayed or added. The vendor name on the product page will link directly to a collection of products by that vendor. This offers a seamless way for customers to explore more products from the same vendor.
    • Show Page Content in a Popup: If you prefer not to redirect customers away from the current page, you can select a page to display its content in a popup. This is especially useful when using metafields to show vendor collection in the admin. If this option is enabled, the link to the vendor's collection is applied automatically.
    • External Link Option: If you want to provide an external link to more information about the vendor, you can fill in a URL that will direct customers to an external website or resource.

    The preferred option is to link to the page containing the vendor's products, as the primary goal is to provide a direct link related to the vendor.

    b) Product price

    To display the product price, follow these steps:

    • Add the "Price" block to your product page. This block will automatically display the price of the product.
    • Configure Price Block: You can choose whether to include tax status and shipping policy information in the displayed price. Adjust the text size of the price to ensure it fits well with the overall design

    • Add the "Description" block to your product page. 
    • Configure Collapsible Tab Option: Within the description block settings, enable the option to display the description as a collapsible tab. This will help optimize space on the product page, especially for products with lengthy descriptions.

    Note: If you want to display a long description in rich text format, you can use the Product Description section of the theme.

    d) Product variants and Quantity selector

    To include product variants and a quantity selector on your product page:

    • Adding the "Variant Picker" block will automatically display all variants of the product. .You can configure this block to display variants either as a dropdown menu or as buttons, depending on your preference.

    Type: Dropdown

    Type: Button

    • Add Quantity Selector Block to enable customers to specify the quantity of the product they wish to purchase. This block allows customers to adjust the quantity before adding the item to their cart, providing them with more control over their purchase.

    5. How to set up Add to cart and Buy buttons?

    a) How to show the "Buy it now" button?

    The "Add to Cart" button will be shown by default when the product is available.

    The "Buy it Now" button is a direct route to checkout, bypassing the mini cart or cart page entirely. To display this button, follow these steps:

    • Add "Buy Buttons" Block: First, ensure you have the "Buy Buttons" block added to the product information section of your product page. This block typically contains both the "Add to Cart" button and the "Buy it Now" button.

      15. How to show a Back-in-stock alert?

      This feature allows customers to subscribe to notifications when a product becomes available again after being out of stock. It's handy for customers who are interested in purchasing a product that's currently unavailable.

      In the Eurus theme, you can choose how the back-to-stock alert behaves. It can either show by default regardless of the stock status of the product, or only appear when the product is unavailable, based on your settinguration (Use "Only show when product is unavailable" setting).

      Admins can customize the text and message displayed when customers subscribe to the back-to-stock alert. This allows for personalized communication with customers who are interested in the product.

      After customers subscribe, the store owner receives an email notification about the subscription. However, it's essential for the admin to manually send an email to customers when the product is back in stock, as the theme doesn't handle this automatically. You can integrate with email automation systems such as Klaviyo for further customization.

      • Choose the product in the theme settings > gift wrapping section.

      • Add the "Gift wrap" block to the product page.
      • Checkbox Display: Once added, a checkbox will appear, allowing customers to opt for gift wrapping.

        When viewing a sibling product, only the images associated with that variant option, along with the product details and prices for the variant, are shown. For detailed instructions and visual aids, please refer to the Product Sibling documentation in the common guide.
