Installing the app

When you install Depict Lite from the Shopify App Store:
  1. Your store is registered with Depict (via Shopify OAuth) with its name, primary market and currency.
  2. Catalog ingestion starts automatically, including a backfill of the last 30 days of purchase history. The app shows an ingestion progress indicator; most features unlock once the first full sync completes.
  3. Two sensible default rules are created for you: boost bestsellers, bury out-of-stock products. Adjust or remove them under Boost & Bury.
Reinstalling the app is safe — Depict detects the reinstall and reactivates your existing configuration.

​
Theme setup

Depict adds its collection template and product grid snippets to your theme automatically. In the app you can:
  • see per theme whether the Depict template is installed,
  • inspect exactly which files were changed during setup, and
  • check the overall onboarding status (success / warning / failure / pending).
Deactivating a collection restores its original template — your theme is never left in a broken state.

​
Password-protected storefronts

If your storefront is behind a Shopify password (common before launch), enter the storefront password in the app so previews and screenshots work. The app tells you if the password is wrong.

​
Plans and limits

The number of collections you can activate depends on your subscription. If your subscription lapses, editing is frozen until it’s renewed — your configuration is kept.
