Smind New Updates #2 - September 2025

Building a beautiful Shopify store has always felt like a frustrating choice. Do you spend $300+ on a premium theme just to get a professional look? Or do you install a clunky, site-slowing page builder and waste days trying to design every single page homepage, product page, about us one by one? We believe you shouldn't have to make that choice. That’s why we’ve made a new feature - Store Packages because it’s really easy to set up your store.  This isn't another complicated tool. It’s a complete store launcher, and we truly believe this is one of the best ways to save your time. Click here to learn more about our packages What Are Store Packages? Store Packages are complete, professionally designed website templates, built for the Smind app. Full Page Types: Each package includes a full set of matching page templates: Homepage, Collection Page, Product Page, About Us, Blog, and more. This ensures perfect brand consistency across your entire customer journey. Big Library: Browse a massive library of templates, all filterable by industry. You can preview every page and even view a full "live demo" to see exactly what your store will look like. Save Time, Launch Easy: This feature integrates directly with free themes like Dawn. You no longer need to buy an expensive premium theme to get a world-class design. It’s all here, ready to go, saving you time and money. How to Use Store Packages: A Step-by-Step Guide Here’s how you can launch your full store right now: 1. Find the Feature: In your Smind app dashboard, click the new "Build store by package" button   2. Choose Your Package: Browse the extensive library of full store templates. Use the "Industry" filter on the left to narrow down your options. 3. Preview and Install: Click on any package to preview all the pages included. We strongly recommend clicking "View Demo" to see the full, live website. Once you’ve found the perfect design, click "Install." 4. Manage Your New Pages: After a successful installation, you’ll be taken to the "Manage Package" page. This is your new control center for all the pages in the package. 5. Assign Your Content : This is where your store comes to life. For pages like your Homepage, Collection Page, and Product Page, click "Set Default" to make them your store's new standard. For new pages like "About Us," you may need to click "Create Page" to add it to your Shopify pages. On your Collection and Product page templates, click "Assign" to link your existing Shopify products and collections. This instantly populates your new, beautiful templates with your own content. 6. Customize and Launch: From the "Manage Package" page, click on any page name and then "Customize." This opens the editor with the full page pre-built and your assigned content already connected. From here, you can edit text, swap images, and finalize your store before your launching.
