Electro

A free Shopify theme for computing, audio and peripherals stores — anywhere the brand, the specification and the rating decide the sale.

It is built on Shopify's current theme architecture — Online Store 2.0 with theme blocks — so every template, including the product page, can be rearranged in the theme editor without touching Liquid.

What makes it an electronics theme

Nobody buys a laptop from a photograph. They compare three of them across six numbers, work out what the numbers mean, and then decide. Every general-purpose free theme leaves you to improvise that in the product description.

  • The specification table is a real block, driven by a product metafield, so each product carries its own rows without you rebuilding anything. It renders nothing at all when a product has none, rather than an empty shell.
  • The brand is Shopify's vendor field, shown above every title and matched by predictive search, because people shop by manufacturer as much as by model.
  • Ratings show their count, because for hardware a four-and-a-half from four hundred people does more work than any photograph.
  • Filtering includes brand and finish, not just category and price.

What it is technically

  • 19 JSON templates, 40 sections, 15 theme blocks, 18 snippets.
  • Two asset files: base.css and theme.js. No build step, no Sass, no minification — what you see in Shopify's code editor is what runs.
  • No jQuery, no CSS framework, no third-party CDN request. Carousels are CSS scroll-snap and drawers are the browser's own <dialog>.
  • shopify theme check: 99 files, 0 offenses.

Where to start

Getting started covers uploading the zip and setting up the specification table, which is the one thing worth doing before you publish.
