Dose documentation
Dose is a Shopify theme by Buglyph for supplement, vitamin, gummy and wellness brands. It's a bright pharmacy shelf with a daily rhythm: a warm white page, one confident colour stage where your products stand on a real shelf, soft goal colours (lilac, apricot, sky, lemon, mint and pink) that turn a catalogue into a colour-coded routine, and round, friendly headings. Small round dose dots count what supplement shoppers count: gummies a day, days in a bottle, questions left in the quiz, bottles on a subscription. Every corner is a rounded square; the only circles are the dots.
Dose answers the questions supplement shoppers ask before they buy. Its four signature features:
- Supplement facts panel: "What's in it, and how much?" A real facts label on every product page, built from one plain text field: serving size, servings per container, each nutrient with its amount and % daily value, other ingredients, allergens and your own disclaimer. It stays readable on the smallest phone.
- Goal finder: "Where do I start?" Colour-coded goal tiles (Sleep, Energy, Focus, Immunity, Gut, Skin) and a three-question quiz that builds a starter stack of up to three products and adds it to the bag in one tap.
- Supply calculator: "How long will it last?" How many days a bottle lasts at the shopper's daily dose, shown as a calendar of dots, with the delivery plan that matches already chosen.
- Ingredients and evidence: "Why should I trust it?" Ingredient cards with amounts, certification chips, the product's format, and a link to its lab report.
None of them needs an app. Selling subscriptions needs a subscription app, because Shopify's delivery plans come from one (chapter 10). This guide covers Dose 1.0.0. Every setting name in it is the name you see in the theme editor, and the words in brackets are the defaults.
Dose shows the words and numbers you give it. It doesn't check them, and it gives no health, medical or regulatory advice. What your labels and pages may say depends on the country you sell in and how each product is regulated there. Chapter 12 covers the facts panel's disclaimer, health claims and the demo words you need to replace.
