Your pages represent significant milestones in your customer’s sales journey.
Along the way, they learn more about your brand, your products, and why it might be the right fit for them.
New Shopify stores come with a few standard pages ready to be edited for your needs, but they don’t anticipate what every store needs, and you will definitely need to start adding your own pages as you build out your store so you can start selling.
Once you have all your necessary pages in place, you will want to customize them to fit your brand and to help drive conversions for your store.
That’s where Page Builder comes in. But, we’ll talk more about that later.
First, let’s get into how to start adding pages to your Shopify store step-by-step.

How to add new pages on Shopify
To start building out your store, you need pages. All types of pages.
Let’s start with the most basic of pages before moving on to product and collections pages.
Here is how you can add generic pages to your Shopify store—be it your FAQ page or your Contact Us page.
Step 1: Log in to your Shopify dashboard
First things first, let’s get into the cockpit. If it isn’t already in your bookmarks, just go to shopify.com and click Log in.
Step 2: Go to Online Store > Pages
Now that you are in your Shopify dashboard go to Online Store along the left side to expand your options. Then click Pages.
If you’ve already got some pages created, this is where they will show up.
In the upper right corner of the page, you’ll find a handy little button beckoning you to Add page.
Click that button, and you’ll find yourself on the page creation screen.
Step 4: Title your new page and start adding content
Now you can start creating your new page.
By this point, you should know what page you are creating, but Shopify gives a few helpful suggestions in the title field (“e.g. Contact us, Sizing chart, FAQs”).
Once you’ve added these details, you can also edit how your page will show on search engines like Google.
Automatically, it will pull in your title and page content, but this allows more control of your SEO by letting you edit the title, meta description, and URL handle.
Step 5: Set the page visibility
Finally, you can set whether your page is Hidden or Visible on your store.
Automatically, it will become visible once you save your page, but you could also set it to go visible later by clicking Hidden and adding the date you want it to go up.
You can also choose the theme template you want to use for the page based on your current Shopify theme and any apps that produce templates (like Shogun Page Builder).
Once finished, click Save. You’ve created a page, congrats!
On Shopify, each product you create gets a page automatically. So, creating product pages happens differently than your basic pages (covered above).
Here is how you create a product page on Shopify, step-by-step.
Step 1: Go to Products on the lefthand dashboard menu
On your Shopify dashboard, go to Products in the menu along the left.
This is where all product data is kept and where you can keep track of inventory. For our purposes, we’ll just be adding a product and filling out its details.
Step 2: Click the “Add product” button
In the upper right corner, you’ll find the Add product button. Click that thing, and you’ll be transported to the world of minute product details.
Step 3: Add product title, description, and images
When you get to the product detail page, the first things you see are Title, Description, and Media.
Now that you have added the info that will make up most of your product page, it’s on to the little details about your product.
Step 4: Enter all your product details
You can’t sell your products if you haven’t laid out all the little details. They help you organize your products, track your inventory, determine shipping costs, and much more.
Here are all the things you can add to your product data so you can start selling:
Pricing and cost per item
SKU number, barcode, and inventory tracking
Shipping weight and customs information
Product variations (called Options here)
Vendor, product type, product collections, and tags
Theme template and SEO details
With all your product details added, click Save to add the product and its page to your store. Now, do this for all your products, and you’re set!

How to add a collection page on Shopify
Just like with product pages, collection pages are created through the creation of a new product collection.
Collections are groups of products assembled based on your own criteria. That may be all products with the product tag “knits,” all your giftable products that are $50 or less, or a newly launched line of products.
Whatever you want.
They can be created by manually adding the products one by one or by automating the process based on certain rules you create.
Collection pages on Shopify show off a particular product collection. They include a title, a description, and an optional image (which acts as the background for the title in the header).
Instead of individually assessing numerous product pages, shoppers can look through your collection pages to narrow down what they want.
From your Page Builder dashboard, you’ll click the Add page button.
This will take you to the template menu.
Step 3: Choose your page template or start from scratch
Shogun has over 30 pre-made templates that you can use, for About Us pages, Contact pages, collection pages, product pages, and more.
You can choose to go with a template or start from scratch.
If you want to build a particular product or collection page, you just need to navigate to the Product or Collection tabs to import those pages to Shogun.
Whatever you choose, it will take you to the editor page.
Step 4: Start customizing your Shopify page
In the editor, you will have full access to a library of page elements that you can use to build store pages that will drive conversions.
Along the right side of your editor, you will find page elements to use for structuring your page, adding lush content, pulling over Shopify product details, driving lead capture, and more.
Drag any element directly onto your page and see what it looks like as you build.
With each element, you get complete control of how it functions and looks on the page.
No matter what Shopify theme you are using, you can make it look exactly how you envision it.
Create a powerful Shopify store with custom pages
Creating new pages on Shopify is simple, whether you do it on your Shopify dashboard or go the more custom route with Shogun Page Builder.
Building from Shopify, you are limited by the theme you’ve chosen and the capabilities of their editor. To take your page to the next level, you can customize each page to create a unique experience for your customers.
With Shogun Page Builder, you have total control over how your store pages look and feel in less time and without having to bother with code.
Your store will be looking incredible in no time.
