Fees and plans
Shopify fees
Every fee Shopify charges in plain English: plan prices, card rates, the third-party transaction fee, currency conversion and refunds, with one page per plan and the date each number was checked.
Guides
Shopify guides, written theme by theme.
What Shopify charges, plan by plan, the image sizes Shopify and your theme ask for, and how to set up the theme you actually run. Every number carries the date it was checked, and every setup guide starts from your theme's own settings.
Guide families.
Images
Shopify image sizes
Every image size Shopify publishes, labelled by where it comes from, with the sizes theme vendors give and a checker for your own files. One guide for each spot in your store.
Theme by theme
Color swatches
How to show color swatches on product and collection pages in 61 themes: with Shopify's own swatch option, with an app, or with a code edit, and which route we would pick for each theme.
App guide
Color Swatch Pug setup guide
An independent guide to the Color Swatch Pug app: installing it, its theme app embed, fixing missing swatches, removing it cleanly, and where the publisher's support is.
On the way
More families, same checklist.
Each new family reuses the same theme list, so once your theme has a page, every feature guide for it sits one click away.

How every guide is written.
-
Check what the theme does on its own
We start with Shopify's own features and the theme's settings, because the route that needs no app and no code is the one that survives theme updates.
-
Compare the app route
Where an app does the job better, we say which ones document support for that theme and what they cost, with the date we looked.
-
Write out the code route
For people comfortable in the theme editor, we name the exact files, sections and settings to change, with snippets you can copy.
-
Date every page
Each guide carries the date it was last checked against the theme. Themes change, and a guide that does not say when it was right is hard to trust.
