What a Custom Product Details Page Is

A Custom Product Details Page is a standalone page that displays product data but uses a fully customizable layout built with the Page Builder.

Key characteristics:

  • Acts as the product’s primary PDP

  • Supports all standard product functionality (price, variants, cart actions)

  • Overrides the default product detail page for assigned products

Follow these steps to create and activate a custom PDP:

  1. Open the Site / Store Builder

  2. Click Add New Page

  3. Enable the Custom Product Detail Page toggle

  4. Confirm to create the page

  5. Design the page using the Page Builder

  6. Save and publish the page

Once published, the page is ready for product assignment.

How to Assign Products to a Custom PDP

Products are assigned directly from the Product Detail element settings.

Steps:

  1. Select the Product Detail element on the custom PDP

  2. Open the Right Sidebar

  3. Use Assign products to this template

  4. Search and select the products you want to link

  5. Save the page

Editing or Reassigning Products

You can change product assignments at any time.

Important behavior:

  • A product can only be assigned to one custom PDP

  • Assigning a product to a new custom PDP automatically removes it from the previous one

  • Changes take effect immediately after publishing

Navigation and Customer Experience

Custom PDPs automatically integrate with store navigation.

Behavior details:

  • Clicking a product from a product list or featured section routes to the correct PDP

  • Direct product links always resolve to the custom PDP if one exists

  • No manual linking is required

Fallback to the Default Product Page

If a Custom Product Details Page is deleted:

  • All assigned products automatically revert to the default PDP

  • No product data is lost

  • Store navigation continues to work normally

This ensures a safe fallback with no broken links.

Using Multiple Custom PDPs in One Store

You can create multiple custom PDPs within the same store.

Common use cases:

  • Different layouts for different product categories

  • Dedicated designs for digital vs physical products

  • Premium product storytelling pages

Each product can only belong to one custom PDP at a time.

  • Check if the custom PDP was deleted

  • Verify the product is not assigned to another custom PDP
