Shopify Horizon Theme

Horizon is Shopify's newer flagship reference theme, built on a newer theme block system where blocks can be nested inside other blocks — a meaningfully more flexible editor than older themes like Dawn. It also ships with more native merchandising features out of the box: image zoom, recommended products, lookbooks, and more. Everything below is organized by topic so you can jump straight to the setting you're trying to change.
