Presets
A preset is a set of theme settings and page layouts made for one kind of store. Pawsome has five. Each one has a demo store run by a made-up brand, so you can see the preset with a full catalog before you install it.
Every preset uses the same sections, blocks and settings. A preset only sets their starting values and which sections each page starts with, so anything one preset does, you can set up on another by hand.
All five demo stores open the cart as a drawer. Their product cards show ratings, color swatches, a quick add button and a second image on hover. Quick add opens quick view for products with options and adds single-variant products straight to the cart.

Change preset
Section titled “Change preset”You choose a preset on Pawsome’s page on the Shopify Theme Store before you click Try theme. After that, you have two ways to move to another one.
To change the look only, use the theme style. In the theme editor, open Theme settings, click Theme style, pick another preset and click Change style, then Save. This replaces your theme settings, such as colors and typography, with the preset’s. Shopify’s Theme settings page has these steps.
To get another preset’s page layouts as well, add Pawsome to your store again from its Theme Store page with that preset selected. It arrives as a separate theme in Draft themes, and your current theme stays unchanged.
You can also change any setting by hand. The Theme settings reference lists every one.
