Tag Convention¶
Prefix-based tags for Shopify filter groups:

cable-plug, cable-socket, blanking-cap |
pin_ |
2, 3, 4, 7 |
shell_ |
0, 1, 2 |
ip_ |
50, 66 |
Import Tool¶
The Shopify Import Tool (V10) is a self-contained HTML page at:
~/Downloads/work/Shopify_import_tool_V10.html
Key features: - Loads CSV with columns: Code, SKU, Title, Description, Features, Specs, Tags, Category - Structured tag fields (type_, pin_, shell_, style_, variant_) instead of flat text - Auto-parses old flat tags into prefix convention on CSV load - WYSIWYG editors (Quill.js) for Description and Specs - LEMO-themed spec table preview - Bulk-apply tag field across all products - Exports Shopify-compatible CSV with UTF-8 BOM
Evolution¶
| Version | Key Change |
|---|---|
| V8 | Quill.js WYSIWYG editors, spec table preview, CSV export fixes |
| V9 | (intermediate) |
| V10 | Structured tag fields, auto-parse, bulk apply, color-coded preview |
Series Pages¶
| Series | Handle | Template | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| S Series | /pages/s-series |
page.lemo-s-series.liquid |
Done — 6 spec cards (Proven Design, Alignment, Signal Integrity, Configuration, Environment, Applications) + Why Choose |
| B Series | admin | Uses template | Created in admin |
| T Series | admin | Uses template | Created in admin |
Page Templates with Section Content¶
Templates can include sections (like multicolumn) below the main page area. These are created in the Theme Editor (Customize → Save as template).
Editing Workflow¶
- Page editor (Pages → edit page) — only the title + body HTML is editable
- Theme Editor (Customize mode with the page selected) — template sections (multicolumn, etc.) are editable here
- Per-page sections are not possible — section content in templates is shared across all pages using that template. To have different content per page, create separate templates (e.g.,
page.optima.json,page.supreme.json)
Template Naming¶
- Template filenames use
page.{name}.jsonformat - The display name in admin is auto-derived from the filename (e.g.,
page.optima.json→ "Optima-page") - Cannot be renamed from admin UI after creation — must rename the file locally and push
- Pages must be reassigned to the new template name after renaming
Template Created¶
Created page.optima.json (originally page.category-page.json):
- main section — page body content
- multicolumn section — 3 column cards with Series images and links (M Series, D Series, F Series)
CLI Commands¶
# Pull remote changes down
shopify theme pull --store=lemo-test.myshopify.com -t "JBS/LEMO Customs" --force
# Push local changes to live
shopify theme push --store=lemo-test.myshopify.com -t "JBS/LEMO Customs" --force --allow-live
Product Page¶
- No separate Specs tab — specs are merged into Body HTML via the import tool
- Uses Dawn's built-in related-products section (pulls from same collection)
- SEO titles/descriptions automated via import tool
Product Specifications Section¶
Created custom section sections/product-specs.liquid for the product.lemo-product.json template.
Purpose¶
Spec tables from the import tool rendered in Dawn's narrow right column and got squashed. The spec HTML also referenced CSS variables (--lemo-bg, --lemo-navy) only defined in the import tool, not on the live theme.
How it works¶
Reads the current product's tags with known prefixes and displays them as a formatted table full-width below the product info:
| Prefix | Label |
|---|---|
type_ |
Connector Type |
pin_ |
Pin Count |
shell_ |
Shell Size |
ip_ |
IP Rating |
voltage_ |
Test Voltage |
current_ |
Rated Current |
temp_ |
Operating Temperature |
style_ |
Style |
Values display with original case preserved — hyphens/underscores become spaces.
Template Changes (product.lemo-product.json)¶
descriptionblock restored inmain-productsection (right column, after buy_buttons)- Static
collapsible-contentsection removed (had placeholder rows) - Section order:
main→product_specs→related-products
lemo2 Template¶
Created product.lemo2.json via theme editor:
- main-product with description block in right column, media_size: "large"
- multicolumn section (Free Shipping, Hassle-Free Exchanges)
- related-products section
To add new spec types¶
- Add a new tag prefix to the
spec_mapinsections/product-specs.liquid - Tag products with the new prefix (e.g.,
material_brass) - Optional: update the Shopify import tool V10 to auto-generate the new tags from CSV data
Cart & Shipping¶
- Standard Dawn cart — no customisation
- Weight-based shipping configured in Shopify admin
Pricing & BOM App¶
The LEMO Pricing & BOM App (v1.5.3) is at:
~/Downloads/work/ (HTML, self-contained)
Features: - Connector lookup with real-time search (80ms debounce) - Pricing settings: FX rate, freight %, dual-discount sell price formula - Quick Price Calculator: enter CHF buy price → see AUD sell, disc 100–999, disc 1000+ - BOM cost comparison: connector vs individual parts - Buy prices in red, sell prices in green - CSV import/export with BOM overlay
Sync Workflow¶
# Pull from Shopify (after browser edits)
shopify theme pull --store=lemo-test.myshopify.com -t "JBS/LEMO Customs" --force
# Push to live
shopify theme push --store=lemo-test.myshopify.com -t "JBS/LEMO Customs" --force --allow-live
Migration Notes¶
When transferring to the company Shopify account: - Transfers: Theme (.zip), Products (CSV export), Page templates - Must redo: Navigation menus, shipping/payment/tax settings, collections, Search & Discovery filter groups, page body content, store domain
Product Template Assignment on Import¶
The standard product CSV export does not include a Template column. To assign product.lemo-product.json to all products on the new store:
Option 1 (recommended): Add a Template column to the CSV before import — set every row to lemo-product. Shopify will apply it automatically.
Option 2: Import products first, then bulk-select all → More actions → Change template → lemo-product.
