Pre-designed Templates
Pre‑designed templates are ready‑built table layouts that let you skip the tedious work of structuring and styling a table from scratch. Instead of starting with a blank grid, you open a fully formatted example that already contains placeholder (sample) data and the interactive features suited to a specific purpose—search boxes, sortable headers, comparison columns, price ribbons, size columns, and so on.
How to use a template:
- Go to your Shopify admin and open the TablePress app. From the dashboard, open the Pre‑designed Templates panel.
- Browse the templates and see previews until you find a style that matches your goal (e.g., searchable inventory list, plan comparison, size guide).
- Click on use and table will get created with the same sample data and design which shown in preview.
- Replace your data in the table as per your choice.
- Tweak colors or fonts in the design settings if you want to align the table even more closely with your theme style.(Optional)
That’s it—within a few minutes you have a polished, interactive table that would have taken much longer to build manually.
