As you fill in fields, use the Preview panel on the right to see how your theme looks. You can:

  • Switch between preview types (for example, Digital Invoice, Payment Links, Customer Email)

  • Toggle between desktop and mobile views

The preview uses sample data and is for reference only. Actual payment methods shown to shoppers depend on currency and your active payment methods.

Click Next when you are ready to choose where to apply the theme.

Step 3: Choose where to apply the theme

On the Select where to apply the theme screen:

Billing

  • Applies to invoices, checkouts, and associated emails associated with the selected billing entities.

  • Select one or more Billing entities from the dropdown.

Payments

  • Applies to payment links, and associated emails associated with the selected payment accounts.

  • Select one or more Payment accounts from the dropdown.

You can apply the theme to billing entities only, payment accounts only, or both. You can also skip this step and apply the theme later.

Click Create to save the theme, or Back to return to the previous step.

Tips

  • You only need to enter a Theme name to create a theme. All other fields are optional.

  • Colour values must be valid hex codes (for example, 8000FF). Three-digit codes (for example, #F00) are automatically expanded to six digits.

  • If you enter an invalid value (for example, a malformed URL or email), an error message appears and you cannot proceed until it is corrected.
