Soraya – Shopify theme for one-product brands

Thank you for choosing Soraya. This guide explains how to install the theme and how to set up every part of your store without touching code.

Soraya is an Online Store 2.0 theme. Everything is edited from Online Store › Themes › Customize: drag sections, add blocks, change colors and fonts. It works in English and Spanish out of the box, and in any language you add in Shopify.

1. Getting started

Install the theme

  1. Download the theme package from ThemeForest and unzip it. Inside you will find soraya-theme.zip (the theme) and this documentation.
  2. In Shopify, go to Online Store › Themes.
  3. In the Theme library, click Add theme › Upload zip file and choose soraya-theme.zip. Do not upload the full ThemeForest download, only the theme zip.
  4. When it finishes, click Customize to start editing. When you are happy, click Publish.
Tip: before publishing, use Preview to check the store on your phone. Soraya is designed mobile-first, and most of your customers will shop from a phone.

Recommended first steps

  1. Choose a theme style (Default, Noir or Fresh).
  2. Upload your logo in the Header section and your favicon in Theme settings › Logo and favicon.
  3. Set your colors and fonts in Theme settings.
  4. On the homepage, choose your product in the Featured product section.
  5. Open your product page and replace the demo texts in the sales sections.
  6. Install a reviews app (see Reviews).

2. Theme styles

Soraya includes three ready-made styles. Each one changes colors, fonts and corner shapes; your content is not touched.

StyleLookGood for
DefaultWhite and blue, modern sans-serif fonts, soft cornersTech, home, health, gadgets
NoirBlack and gold, elegant serif headings, square cornersBeauty, jewelry, premium products
FreshCream, coral and green, rounded buttonsFood, pets, kids, wellness

To change it: Customize › Theme settings (gear icon) › Theme style, choose a style and click Change style. After that you can adjust anything you like.

Noir uses a dark background. Product photos with a white background will appear as white squares; transparent or dark-background photos look best with this style.

3. Theme settings

Open Customize › Theme settings (gear icon).

GroupWhat you can change
Logo and faviconThe small icon shown in the browser tab (square, at least 32 × 32 px). The logo itself is set in the Header section.
ColorsFour color schemes (background, text, main button, button text, outline button and links, borders, cards). Every section has a Color scheme setting, so you can alternate light and dark areas. You can also add new schemes.
TypographyHeading font and body font from the Shopify font library, and their size.
LayoutMaximum page width.
Buttons and cornersCorner radius of buttons, and of cards and images.
CartCart type, what happens after adding to cart, free shipping bar, order notes, express checkout buttons. See Cart.
Social mediaLinks to your profiles. Empty links are hidden.

4. Images that always look good

Soraya gives you control over every image without code:

Recommended sizes: banners 2400 × 1200 px or larger; product photos 2000 × 2000 px; other images at least 1200 px wide. Shopify serves smaller versions automatically to phones.

5. Homepage

The homepage is designed to sell one product. By default it contains:

  1. Image banner: a large photo with heading, text and up to two buttons.
    • Height on computer and on mobile (Small, Medium, Large, Full screen).
    • Darken the image makes white text easier to read.
    • Text position (left, center, right; top, middle, bottom) and an optional box behind the text.
    • Text on mobile: Below the image (recommended, the photo stays clean) or Over the image.
  2. Featured product: your product with photos, price, packs and buy buttons, exactly like the product page. Choose the product in the section settings; if empty, the first product of your store is shown.
  3. Sales sections: image with text, how it works, guarantee, FAQ and reviews.
To make a banner button jump to the buy area, set its link to #buy.

6. Product page

The Product information section is built with blocks that you can add, remove and reorder:

BlockNotes
Title, Text, PriceThe price shows a crossed-out price and a savings badge only if you set a real Compare-at price in Shopify.
Star ratingShows the rating saved by your reviews app. Hidden when there are no reviews.
Benefits listOne benefit per line, with a check icon.
Variant pickerButtons, color swatches and pack cards. See Packs.
Buy buttonsAdd to cart, optional quantity selector and express checkout buttons (Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay…), always the same width as the main button.
Trust iconsUp to three icons with short text (shipping, returns, secure payment…).
Collapsible tab, DescriptionAccordions for shipping, returns, ingredients, size guide…
Build your pack + PackMixed bundles. See Build your pack.
Custom Liquid, AppsFor app blocks and advanced users.

Section settings: image column width, image shape and fit, and the sticky add-to-cart bar (mobile only, mobile and computer, or off).

7. Packs of the same product (1, 2, 3 units…)

To sell packs of the same product, create them as variants in Shopify:

  1. In your product, add an option called Pack (or Bundle, Quantity, Cantidad).
  2. Give each value a number, for example 1 unit, 2 units, 3 units, and set the price of each pack.

Soraya shows them as large cards with the unit price and the real savings compared with buying single units. In the Variant picker block you can:

Savings are always calculated from your real prices. Soraya never shows invented discounts, fake countdowns or "X people are viewing" messages.

8. Build your pack (mixed bundles)

Let customers build a pack with different products (for example 2 pairs of socks + 2 briefs) and choose the size or color of each item.

Set it up

  1. Soraya includes a product template called bundle. Open the product where you want the packs and, in Theme template, choose bundle. Save.
  2. In Customize, open that product. In Product information you will see the Build your pack block and several Pack blocks.
  3. In each Pack block set:
    • Pack name and optional Label (for example "Most popular").
    • Savings text (for example "Save 15%").
    • Discount shown in the price (percentage). It must be the same as your automatic discount (next chapter).
    • Up to 3 products and the quantity of each one. Leave Product 1 empty to use the product of the page.
  4. In the Build your pack block, choose whether to offer Same size for all and whether the add button stays visible on mobile.

What customers see

The theme displays the pack price, but the actual discount is applied by Shopify with an automatic discount. Always create the discount described below and keep the numbers identical.

9. Pack discounts (automatic discounts)

Example: 3 items = 10% off, 4 items = 15% off, 6 items = 20% off.

  1. Go to Discounts › Create discount › Amount off products.
  2. Method: Automatic discount. Title: for example Pack 3 – 10% (customers see it in the cart).
  3. Value: Percentage, 10. Applies to: Specific products, select the products that can be in your packs.
  4. Minimum purchase requirements: Minimum quantity of items: 3.
  5. Save. Repeat for 4 items (15%) and 6 items (20%).

When several automatic discounts apply, Shopify gives the customer the best one, so a 4-item pack gets 15%, not 10%.

Check it: add a pack to the cart and confirm that the cart total matches the price shown on the pack card.

10. Sales sections

These sections can be added to any page (product, homepage, about…) with Add section. All of them have color scheme and spacing settings for computer and mobile.

SectionUse it for
Image with textProblem / solution. Image left or right on computer, above or below on mobile; eyebrow, heading, text, checklist and buttons.
What's includedEverything in the box, with photos. 2–4 columns on computer, list or 2 columns on mobile.
How it worksNumbered steps with optional images.
Comparison"Us vs. others" table with check marks, crosses or text.
GuaranteeYour guarantee with an icon or your own badge image.
FAQQuestions and answers as accordions.
Reviews (app)Holds the block of your reviews app.
Image banner, Featured product, Text, Contact formGeneral content.

11. Reviews

Soraya never invents reviews. Use any reviews app that supports app blocks (Judge.me, Loox, Okendo, Shopify Product Reviews…):

  1. Install the app and import or collect your reviews.
  2. In Customize, open the Reviews (app) section and click Add block; choose the app's reviews widget.
  3. For the stars under the title, add the Star rating block. It reads the standard Shopify rating fields that most apps fill in.

Without an app block, the Reviews section is hidden in your store (you only see a reminder inside the editor).

12. Cart

In Theme settings › Cart:

13. Collections, filters and search

14. Other pages

Menus

Create your menus in Online Store › Navigation. A menu item can link to anything: a product, collection, page, policy, blog, an external website, or a page created by an app (for example an order tracking page such as /apps/track or /pages/track-order). Soraya shows every link exactly as you add it.

Header

Footer

The footer has up to 6 columns. Add them as blocks:

At the bottom you can show or hide: policy links, payment icons, social icons (set the links in Theme settings › Social media) and the language and country selectors.

Order tracking app: install the app, copy the URL of its tracking page and add it to a footer menu as a normal link.

16. Languages

All storefront texts and editor labels are included in English and Spanish. To edit any text or translate to another language: Online Store › Themes › ⋯ › Edit default theme content, or use Shopify's Translate & Adapt app.

17. FAQ and troubleshooting

The packs appear as normal buttons

Check that the option name is listed in Options shown as packs and that Show pack options as large cards is on.

The pack price and the cart total are different

The automatic discount is missing or has different numbers. See Pack discounts.

The sticky add-to-cart bar is hidden in the preview

The black Shopify preview bar covers the bottom of the screen. In your live store the bar is not there.

My photo is cut

Set the focal point of the image, or change Image fit to Show the whole image.

A link does not appear in my footer

Check that the footer Menu block uses the menu where you added the link, and that the menu item has a URL. App pages (tracking, wishlist…) work like any other link.

The reviews section does not appear

It is hidden until you add your reviews app block to it.
