Getting started with Easy Brand Page

This is the full setup flow for Easy Brand Page, from clicking Install on the App Store to a live brand directory on your storefront.

Step 1 - Install from the Shopify App Store

Open the Easy Brand Page listing and click Install. Approve the scopes when prompted:

• Read products, so the app can read every product's vendor.
• Read collections, so the app can auto-match brands to existing collections.
• Read themes, so the SetupChecklist can detect whether the theme block is installed.
• Write products (limited to metafields), so the app can save the brand list as a shop metafield the theme block reads.

Step 2 - Open the app dashboard

After install, Easy Brand Page opens to its home page. You'll see an onboarding card with three steps:

1. Add the theme block.
2. Run the first scan.
3. (Optional) Mark favourite brands.

Step 3 - Add the Brand Page theme block

Click the "Edit theme" button in the onboarding card. Shopify opens the theme editor on your active theme. From there:

1. Pick the page you want the brand directory to live on. Most stores create a new page (e.g. /pages/brands) and add the block there.
2. In the theme editor's left sidebar, click Add section or Add block.
3. Search for "Brand page" in the picker.
4. Drop it into the section you want.
5. Click Save in the theme editor.

The block is now part of your theme but the directory won't render until the first scan runs.

See Adding the theme block for the design settings available once the block is in place.

Step 4 - Run the first scan

Back in the Easy Brand Page admin, click Brands in the side nav, then Scan now.

The scan does three things:

1. Fetches every product from your Shopify store (paginated, so it works for stores with thousands of products).
2. Reads each product's vendor field.
3. Counts inventory and writes the brand list to a shop metafield the theme block reads.

For small stores it takes seconds. For very large stores (10k+ products), it can take a couple of minutes. You can leave the page; the scan runs server-side.

Step 5 - Check the storefront

Open the page where you placed the block. You should see:

• A search box at the top (or wherever you positioned it).
• An A-Z letter filter.
• A grid of brand cards, one per vendor.

If the page is empty:

• Make sure your products actually have vendors set.
• Re-run the scan from the Brands page.
• Refresh the storefront page.

Step 6 - (Optional) Mark favourite brands

In Easy Brand Page's Brands page, click the star icon next to vendors you want to feature. Marked brands appear in a separate "Featured brands" row at the top of the directory (assuming you enabled the Featured row in the theme block settings).

See Featured brands for full options.

Step 7 - (Optional) Tune the design

Open the theme editor, click into the Brand Page block, and you'll see settings for:

• Card style (soft, outlined, minimal).
• Spacing (compact, comfortable, spacious).
• Columns (per desktop, per mobile).
• Heading text, search placeholder.
• Image-vs-text mode for the brand cards.
• Featured row position (before heading, below heading, below all brands).
• A-Z filter button size.

See Design and layout for what each one does.

What to do next

• Brand syncing - how the directory stays current as you add and remove products.
• Brand-to-collection mapping - how each brand card links to a product list.
• Settings reference - every admin setting explained.
