Salve theme documentation
Salve is a Shopify theme for stores that sell consumer health products: wound care and first aid supplies, home health devices, and supplements and over-the-counter (OTC) products. It's built by ISO Cloud Consulting LLC.
Salve helps you present product information clearly. It shows the data you enter, such as regulatory status, safety information, instructions for use and ingredients, in consistent places across your store. It never writes product claims of its own, and every health feature shows nothing when a product has no data for it.
Salve does not make your store, products or content compliant with any law or regulation. You are responsible for your product claims, labeling and regulatory obligations. Take professional advice.
Presets
Salve comes with three presets. Each preset is a starting style with its own colors, fonts and home page layout. All three share the same sections, blocks and features.
| Preset | Designed for | Style | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salve | Wound care, first aid and skin care supplies | Warm paper background, deep teal-green accent, Lora headings with Work Sans body text | Product selector, supply planner, quantity steppers on product cards |
| Gauge | Home health devices and accessories | Cool white background, blue accent, Inter headings and body text | Product comparison turned on, comparison table on the home page, HSA/FSA explainer, statuses limited to the United States |
| Remedy | Supplements, OTC and everyday health essentials | Cream background, moss green accent, Libre Caslon Text headings with Karla body text | Label-style "What's inside" panels, evidence and testimonials on the home page, HSA/FSA display turned off |
