Introduction

A Zid theme is more than a design, it’s the full presentation layer of a merchant’s storefront.

Each theme combines:

Jinja templates that map storefront routes (home, product, cart, etc.).

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript assets for layout and interactions.

JSON schemas to expose customizable settings in the Theme Editor.

🚀

Once packaged, a single theme can be installed and sold across thousands of Zid stores, giving merchants a professional, customizable starting point for their online business.
