Theme settings — Sprinkle docs

Open the theme editor, then the Theme settings icon. The groups below appear in this order. Everything here applies to the whole store.

Colours

Colour palette sets every storefront colour at once. It offers Strawberry (the default), Buttercream, Pistachio and Cocoa.

Palette	Page	Bands and panels	Colour block	Buttons on the block	Ink	Accent	Used by
Strawberry	Vanilla `#fff6e9`	`#fbe8d3`	Deep strawberry `#b01140`	Butter `#ffd978`	Chocolate `#4b2a1f`	`#b4123f`	The Sprinkle preset
Buttercream	Ivory `#fffbf0`	`#f7efd9`	Deep teal `#0b5f61`	Butter `#ffe08a`	Dark teal `#23403f`	`#0b5f61`	The Tier preset. No pink at all, for wedding cake makers.
Pistachio	Pale pistachio `#f1f6e2`	`#e2ecc9`	Raspberry `#a30f4f`	Pale pistachio `#d6eca8`	Aubergine `#3a2230`	`#a30f4f`	The Patisserie preset
Cocoa	Dark chocolate `#2a1510`	`#432a22`	Sugar pink `#f78fab`	Chocolate `#2a1510`	Warm cream `#f3e3d6`	Pink `#ff9db5`	No preset. A dark shop with chocolate labels on pink.

Each palette also has two colours you can't set yourself: Icing, the pale band and shelf trim, and the board, the darkest band, used by the announcement bar and the footer. Every text and control colour in the four palettes has been measured against every ground it can sit on, and meets the contrast floors for text (4.5:1) and for controls (3:1). Sprinkle keeps pale pink off every button, border and focus ring for that reason.

The settings under the palette override one colour at a time. Leave them blank to follow the palette. A colour you set overrides the palette until you clear it, and colours you set are yours to check for contrast: the measurements above no longer apply to them.

Header	Setting	What it colours
Page	Page background	The page itself
	Body text	Paragraphs
	Headings, names and prices	Headlines, product names and prices
	Secondary text	Ledes, helper text and meta lines
	Faint text	The quietest text: struck-out prices and closed days
Panels and fields	Header, drawers and fields	The header, drawers, fields and the doily behind large rounds
	Bands and panels	Surface bands, the order-ahead panel, the allergens panel and the ground behind images while they load
Controls	Control borders	Field, select and checkbox borders
	Accent	Primary buttons, links and selected states
	Sale and errors	Sale prices, sale seals and error messages
Blocks	Text on accent buttons	Labels on accent fills: the primary button, the bag count, the selected calendar day
	Colour block	The big colour field: the hero, the custom cakes promo, the newsletter and the mix box
	Text on the colour block	Text on that field
	Buttons on the colour block	Buttons, selected states and the focus ring on the colour block

Typography

Setting	Default	What it does
Heading font	Platypi ExtraBold Italic	Headlines, the text logo and step numbers. Product names use the same family at 700, upright, when it has that cut. A face with only one cut, such as Gloock or Gilda Display, is used as it is.
Heading size	100% (90 to 120)	Scales every headline. Each preset sets its own.
Body font	Red Hat Text	Everything you read and press: text, navigation, buttons, prices and labels
Base text size	17px (15 to 20)	The size of body text

The fonts come from Shopify's font library, so there's nothing to upload. Platypi's fat italic is a lot of the theme's character: if you change it, try a face with some weight behind it.

Layout

Setting	Default	What it does
Page width	Medium	Narrow, Medium or Wide
Page margin	48px (16 to 80)	The space at each side of the page on large screens. Under 990px it is 20px.

Navigation: Show back-to-top button (on): a round button that appears after shoppers scroll down one screen. Position: Left (the setting's default) or Right (what the presets use). It is mirrored for right-to-left languages. Pick the side opposite your chat button.
Brand: Use a custom logo (off: the shop name shows as a text wordmark in the heading font), Logo, Logo width (180px, 80 to 320, with a custom logo) and Favicon (32 x 32px recommended).
Motion and effects: treats tip on hover and a box bursts once when it fills. Nothing loops, and all motion follows the reduced motion setting on the visitor's device. Show sprinkles (on): scatters a few sprinkles either side of the hero, adds a small mark to eyebrows and lets the mix box burst when it fills. Hidden on phones.

Commerce

Setting	Default	What it does
Free delivery over	0	Your store's real free-shipping threshold, in its currency. Leave it at 0 unless you offer free shipping. Above 0, the buy box adds "Free delivery over $80." under the add button, and the bag shows a progress bar ("Add $12.00 for free delivery.", then "You've got free delivery."). Both show only to customers shopping in your store's currency.
Show currency code	Off	Prints the currency code beside every price

This setting only changes the theme's messages. The free delivery itself is a rate you set in Settings › Shipping and delivery.

Product cards

Setting	Default	What it does
Image shape	Cookie	Cookie is a fluted round. Plate is a 28px rounded square, for tall side-on cake photos.
Show lead time	On	Shows "Order 2 days ahead" on cards while order ahead is on (chapter 8)
Show quick view button	Off	A Quick look pill on the round, which opens the product's media, options and buy buttons in a panel without leaving the page
Show quick add button	Off (on in all three presets)	The pill button under the card (below). Products without options go straight to the bag. Products with options, a required subscription plan or a gift card recipient open quick view.
Show swatches	Off	Shows the values of the first option that has swatches, such as Colour
Swatches before "+" count	5 (2 to 8)	With swatches on
Show second image on hover	Off (on in all three presets)	On devices with a mouse, shows the product's second image while the card is hovered or focused. Products with one image don't change.
Show compare checkbox	Off	Shoppers tick up to 3 products and see them side by side on the comparison page. Stays hidden until a page using the `page.compare` template is chosen below.
Comparison page	Empty	Create a page in Online Store › Pages, set its theme template to `page.compare`, and choose it here. A page with another template is ignored, and cards show no Compare.
Show "Only 3 left" at or under	5 (0 to 20)	Products tracked at or under this stock get a low stock seal. Set 0 to turn it off.

The card has no box. A fluted round stands on the shared display shelf, with a seal on its lower right if one applies. Under the shelf come the name, dietary chips, swatches if they're on, the price, the lead line and the button. On phones cards sit two to a row. The whole card is one link to the product.

The button under the card gives each product the action that can actually buy it. It only shows with Show quick add button on:

The product	The button	What it does
One variant, nothing to choose	Add to bag (Pre-order for a product tagged `pre-order`)	Adds it without leaving the page
Options, a required subscription plan or a gift card	Choose options	Opens quick view
Tagged with the Cake builder tag	Start your cake	Goes to the product page, because the builder doesn't run in quick view
Tagged with the Mix box tag	Choose flavours	Goes to the product page, because a box is filled there and never from quick view.
Sold out	Tell me when	Goes to the product page and its back-in-stock request

Seals are small fluted rounds on the lower right of the card's image, and a pill after the price on the product page. A card shows one, the first of these that applies:

Seal	Shows when
Sold out	Nothing can be bought
Pre-order	The product has the tag `pre-order` (or `preorder`)
Save $6	The variant has a compare-at price above its price
Only 3 left	The variant is tracked, stops selling at zero, and is at or under Show "Only 3 left" at or under
New	The product has the tag `new`
Best seller	The product has the tag `best-seller`

To change a word on the storefront, such as "Choose options", go to Online Store › Themes › … › Edit default theme content and search for it.

Order ahead

The settings behind the date picker in the bag. Chapter 8 explains how they work together.

Setting	Default	What it does
Turn on order ahead	On	Off, everything disappears: the panel in the bag, the header pill, the hero line, lead notes and the checkout gate
Offer pickup	On	The Pickup choice in the bag
Offer delivery	On	The Delivery choice in the bag. With both on, shoppers choose; with one on, the choice hides. With both off, order ahead is off.
Default lead time	2 d (0 to 30)	Used when a product has no `custom.lead_days` metafield
Daily order cutoff	2 pm	Orders after this time count from the next day, in the store time zone. No cutoff, or any hour from 6 am to 10 pm.
Store time zone	Sydney	Dates are worked out in this zone, wherever the shopper is. A list of 32 cities.
Other time zone	Empty	Overrides the list, for example `Asia/Singapore`. Leave blank to use the list.
Closed days and dates	Monday, Tuesday	One per line: a weekday, `2026-12-25`, or `2026-12-24 to 2026-12-27`
Furthest date shoppers can pick	60 d (14 to 180, in steps of 2)	How far ahead the calendar reaches
Pickup time slots	9 am to 11 am, 11 am to 1 pm, 1 pm to 3 pm	One per line. Leave blank for no time slot.
Delivery time slots	Morning, Afternoon	One per line. Leave blank for no time slot.
Extra days for delivery	0 d (0 to 7)	Added to the first date when Delivery is chosen
Require a date before checkout	On	Check out stays off until a valid date is chosen, plus a slot when there are slots
Hide Buy it now and express buttons	On	They skip the bag, so they skip the date
Heading in the bag	"When should we have it ready?"	The panel's heading
Show next pickup in the header	On	The Next pickup pill
Next pickup link	Empty	Where the pill leads. Leave blank to open the bag.

Cake builder

Cake builder tag (custom-cake): products with this tag show the cake builder, read "Start your cake" on cards and skip quick view. Capitals don't matter. The builder itself is a block on the product page (chapter 9).

Mix-and-match box

Mix box tag (mix-box): products with this tag sell only through the Mix-and-match box. They lose the variant picker and buy buttons on their page, read "Choose flavours" on cards and skip quick view. Capitals don't matter. Assign them the product.mix-box template (chapter 10).

Allergens and dietary

Sprinkle reads dietary and allergen details from product metafields in the custom namespace (chapter 7). Chips and statements show what you enter: you're responsible for them being accurate (chapter 11).

Setting	Default	What it does
Kitchen statement	"Made in a kitchen that handles nuts."	Shown with every allergen statement and in the footer
When no allergens are listed	"Allergens not listed. Please ask us before ordering."	Shown on any product with no allergens listed, so silence never reads as "contains none"
Dietary chips on cards	3 (0 to 6)	Set 0 to hide them. Any more show as "+2".
Dietary labels, in chip order	Gluten free, Vegan, Nut free, Egg free, Dairy free, Halal	One per line. A value that isn't listed still shows, at the end.

Customer accounts: Customer account menu (the customer-account-main-menu menu): the links in the header's account panel. Leave it empty to use the menu Shopify creates for customer accounts.
Social media: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Threads. Links appear as round icons in the footer.
