Shape products and collections

This guide describes Fy2Press 1.0.0. Screens can change in later versions, so check the version shown on the Plugins screen before you follow it.

Expected result

Product and collection presentation uses the included FREE design workshop or the delivered PRO visual-design controls without changing Shopify’s responsibility for commerce.

Use the included visual workshop, default templates and delivered Pro controls without confusing preview locks with active engines.

Before you begin

• Representative synchronized products with images, long titles, prices, variants and availability states.
• A known WordPress theme and target page widths.
• The edition capability reference for the installed FREE or PRO package.
• A rollback point for design settings before making broad changes.

Plan a way back before you start: a backup or a staging copy, the Shopify product you will compare with, and the WordPress page that should show the result. Start with a small test that you can repeat.

What this covers

FREE exposes a basic global product and collection workshop with preview. PRO adds the advanced editor, component customization, responsive controls, multiple templates and custom CSS. Saved presets and settings import or export are absent.

Remember who does what: Shopify keeps products, inventory, orders, payments and checkout; Fy2Press brings the catalog into WordPress and displays it; WordPress hosts your pages and editorial content. Nothing in this guide moves orders, customers or payments to WordPress.

Steps

1. Open Design and select the product or collection surface you intend to change.
2. Adjust only a small set of global controls, then compare the preview with representative catalog data.
3. In PRO, separate component-level and responsive changes so each difference can be reviewed and rolled back.
4. Preview long text, missing images, sale prices, variant controls and out-of-stock states.
5. Publish only after testing the actual WordPress page, not only the Design preview.

Review the result before you share a page publicly. A success message is a good sign, but the public page and the Shopify buying path must agree too.

Check the result

• The product and collection defaults remain usable without PRO controls.
• Responsive changes preserve reading order, focus and buying actions at 320 pixels.
• A downgrade does not delete saved PRO settings or catalog content.

Check the result where visitors will see it: open the public WordPress page, not only the Fy2Press screen, and compare a representative product with Shopify, including its price, availability, variants and collection. Repeat a small change once to confirm that the behaviour is stable.

Common problems

• Preview and frontend differ: identify whether the theme, builder renderer or saved design setting owns the mismatch.
• A PRO control appears locked in FREE: treat it as contextual product information, not an active engine.
• Layout breaks on mobile: return to global defaults, then reintroduce changes one component and breakpoint at a time.

When something unexpected happens, stop large operations and try again with one product and one page. Keep the exact error message before you change settings or clear caches.

Troubleshooting

1. Confirm the plugin version and edition (FREE or PRO).
2. Reproduce the problem with one test product.
3. Decide whether the issue comes from Shopify, Fy2Press or your WordPress theme.
4. Compare the result with what your edition includes, as described in the edition guide.
5. Restore your test setup, try once more and note whether the result repeats.

Security and data

Custom CSS is a PRO publishing capability. Limit it to trusted administrators, avoid remote imports and never embed credentials or customer data in styles or templates.

If you ask for help, note the plugin version, the WordPress and PHP versions, your theme or page builder, the page address and the steps you followed. Use test products, and remove tokens, customer data, order details and private addresses from screenshots before sharing them.

Effect on search

Design can change heading order, text visibility, link labels and layout stability. Validate rendered semantic structure, accessible names and cumulative layout behavior after each template change.
