When you switch to Angel, only the look of your storefront changes. Your products, orders and customers are Salla data, and changing themes does not change them. What you set in Salla's settings carries over; Angel's own settings start at their defaults.
What carries over as it is
- Your store's name, logo, color and the icon shown in the browser tab, from (هوية وبيانات المتجر) [store identity and details] in Salla. Salla's help center says these settings apply to every theme, in تخصيص هوية المتجر (in Arabic).
- Payment methods, shipping and your information pages, which are Salla data that Angel shows as they are.
- Your products, categories and brands.
What you set again in Angel
- The home page: you build it again from the 15 elements Angel adds, alongside 10 of Salla's default elements. See how to add home-page elements in Angel.
- The announcement bar and menus: according to Salla's help center, the announcement bar and the header and footer menus can be tied to a specific copy of a theme. If they are tied to your previous theme's copy, choose Angel's copy for them. The steps are in تخصيص الشريط الترويجي أعلى المتجر and إدارة القوائم حسب إصدار الثيم (both in Arabic).
- Angel's settings: colors, fonts, the product card, the product page and more, on the theme customization page.
Settings that start hidden or on
Some of Angel's defaults surprise people who switch from another theme:
- Hidden parts: «إخفاء نسبة الخصم من بطاقة المنتج» (hide the discount percentage on the card), «إخفاء قيمة الخصم في صفحة المنتج» (hide the discount amount on the product page), «إخفاء صور المنتج المصغرة» (hide the thumbnails) and «إخفاء الوسوم» (hide the tags) are all on. Turn off the ones you want to show.
- Parts that show: «تفعيل النشرة البريدية أسفل المتجر» (footer newsletter), «عرض خيارات المنتج على شكل أزرار بدلًا من قائمة» (options as buttons) and «تثبيت زر الإضافة والكمية أسفل الشاشة» (sticky add-to-cart bar) are on.
⚠️ The newsletter saves no sign-up until you add «رابط النشرة البريدية» (newsletter link). Details in how to customize the footer in Angel.
Switch without changing your published store
- Customize Angel's copy before you publish it; an unpublished copy is not shown to your customers.
- Preview the copy, and check its home page, a product page and the cart page.
- When you are happy with it, select (نشر) [Publish] on Angel's card.
Salla's help center also says a published copy cannot be deleted, and explains default and custom publishing in الفرق بين النشر الافتراضي والمخصص للثيم (in Arabic). Buying and installing are covered in Installing Angel from the Salla theme store.
