Quick Start Guides

Get up and running quickly with these step-by-step guides for building with Finqu.

  4. Edit templates (e.g., product.liquid, collection.liquid) to change storefront appearance.
  5. Add or update assets (CSS, JS, images) in the assets/ folder.
  6. Preview locally (recommended): Use the Theme Development Kit for a local server with real store data and hot reload. See Installation and Getting started, or run finqu theme dev from the CLI. You can also preview changes in the admin.
  7. Test your theme on different devices and browsers.
  8. When ready, deploy with finqu theme deploy or upload/push your theme via the Finqu admin and publish it.
