# Getting Started

New store or migrating to Reign? This is your setup path. Do these in order and you'll have a launch-ready store in an afternoon — no code, no developer.

## Before you start

You'll need:

* A Shopify store (any plan, including the trial)
* The Reign theme `.zip` file from your purchase
* Your logo (PNG with transparent background works best — a white/light version too, for the transparent header)
* At least a few products with photos already added in Shopify admin

💡 **Work in a preview, publish when ready.** You can build the whole store on an unpublished theme while your current theme (or password page) stays live. Nothing is public until you click **Publish**.

## Your setup path

Follow these in order:

1. [**Install the theme**](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/getting-started/installing.md) — upload the zip, preview, and publish
2. **Set your brand basics** — logo, colors, and fonts in [Theme settings](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/theme-settings.md)
3. [**Build your homepage**](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/getting-started/homepage.md) — hero slideshow, featured collection, social proof
4. [**Set up your collection page**](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/getting-started/collection-page.md) — grid, filters, and product cards
5. [**Set up your product page**](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/getting-started/product-page.md) — this is where Reign really earns its keep: size guide, trust ticker, accordions, bundles
6. [**Configure the cart drawer**](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/sections/cart-drawer.md) — progress bar, free gifts, upsells
7. [**Set up drop mode**](/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/getting-started/drop-mode.md) — if you're launching with a password page

## Opening the theme editor

You'll do almost everything in the Shopify theme editor. To open it:

1. From your Shopify admin, click **Online Store** → **Themes**
2. Find **Reign** in the list and click **Customize**

Three things to know about the editor:

* The **dropdown at the top center** switches which template you're editing (Home page, Products, Collections, etc.)
* The **left sidebar** lists the sections on the current template — click one to edit it, drag to reorder, click the eye icon to hide
* The **gear icon (bottom left)** opens **Theme settings** — global styles that apply everywhere

⚠️ Click **Save** (top right) often. The editor does not autosave.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sitesbyseth.gitbook.io/sitesbyseth-docs/reign/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
