The settings every section shares are explained in Section Colors, Fonts and Backgrounds.

Category Cards takes its look from your store's display, so it has only the Content and Layout tabs.

Tips

  • A category without its own photo borrows its first product's photo. Add a category photo to choose it yourself.
