Import the demo content (optional)

The demo label Thread & Loom is fictional; every product, review, community post and image is sample content rendered for this theme.

  1. Go to Products → Import and upload Demo-Content/products.csv. The CSV has no image URLs.
  2. Add each product's images from Demo-Content/images/ and assign the colour image to each variant, following the file names in the demo README.
  3. Content → Files: upload the thread-* section images listed in the README (the templates refer to them by name).
  4. Settings → Custom data → Products: add thread.fit and thread.material (single-line text).
  5. Create the 5 collections, the pages with their templates (About, Lookbook, Size guide, FAQ, Contact, Delivery & returns), the Journal articles and the menus with Women and Men children listed in the README.

A scripted seed that does all of this in one command is available from DEV3 support on request. It runs against your own store with your own Admin API token, and it tags everything it creates so it never touches your other products.

After the import

  • Tag products with their category (knitwear, dresses, shirts and so on) for the mega menu links, and men for the men's size table.
  • Set a real date in the Drop banner before a launch; without one it counts to the next Friday.
  • Replace the sample community posts with photos you have permission to repost.
  • Set up payments, shipping and taxes in Shopify's own settings; checkout is Shopify's.
