Benchline documentation

Benchline is a theme for stores that sell parts: hardware, tools, fittings, fasteners, and rated components. It is built around one idea. A shopper describes the job, the theme checks the parts against it, and the cart stays organized by that job from the first search to checkout.

Most themes ask shoppers to browse a catalog and judge fit for themselves. Benchline works the other way. You enter each product's specification once, in the Shopify admin. The theme turns that single record into a guided finder, fit verdicts on cards and product pages, a datasheet on every product page, a specification comparison table, and a cart grouped by project or machine. No surface keeps its own copy of the data, so the surfaces can never disagree with each other.

Start here

1. Getting started — install the theme, create the specification fields, and put your first products on sale with fit checking live.
2. Specification data — the 28 specification fields, what each one does, and the one-fill rule that keeps every surface consistent.
3. Project finder — how the finder asks questions, where its answers go, and how to shape it for your catalog.
4. Fit check — the three fit states, what each one means, and how the theme decides between them.
