ShopFront component grid — 2,847 components across the full Shopify design stack
Built to use

From wireframe to
finished product.

Start with structure — wireframe layouts that map to real Shopify sections. Apply brand tokens and the same components become production-quality UI. One system from first sketch to final handoff.

ShopFront wire to design

This wireframe (only partially shown here) was produced within 1 minute and the design was produced in ~1 hour with some light direction. All the elements and sections are tied directly to the design system's variables styles and components.

The core advantage

Tokens that map directly
to Shopify schemes.

Most Figma systems live in isolation from code. ShopFront tokens are structured to mirror Shopify's color scheme system — so every design decision maps to implementation without a translation layer or a second conversation.

ShopFront token structure — variables mapped to Shopify scheme settings
For design teams
Work in Figma. Ship to Shopify. No guesswork.

Every token — surface, text, border, radius, spacing — has a corresponding Shopify scheme variable. When the design changes, the developer knows exactly what changes in code.

color_scheme mapping Section settings Theme settings Metafields Headless
For development teams
Handoff that lands. Fewer tickets, faster builds.

Shopify-native naming means developers see design intent immediately — paddings, radii, scheme slots, font roles. Fewer rounds of back-and-forth, fewer interpretation errors.

Shopify-aligned naming Reduced rework Faster builds Code-gen ready
Where time goes

The work that budget
and timelines always cut.

Variable setup. Metaobject schemas. Token-to-scheme mapping. Component documentation. On most Shopify projects, these are the first things descoped — and they never come back. That's where inconsistency gets baked in, and where every future change gets harder.

ShopFront ships with all of it pre-solved. Your team starts at a higher floor than most projects ever reach.

✓
Variable setup
Shopify color scheme variables, surface roles, and state tokens — structured and named from day one.
✓
Metaobject mapping
Schema definitions, field naming, and section mappings — the hidden complexity that eats hours when left to each project.
✓
Token → scheme output
Every design decision maps directly to a Shopify theme setting. No translation layer. No second conversation with dev.
✓
Component documentation
Usage rules, variant logic, and handoff notes built in — not deferred to whoever has time.
What's inside

Every layer of the
Shopify design stack.

ShopFront covers the full surface area — tokens, components, checkout, account flows, Shopify sections, and documentation. Built for Shopify Plus and headless alike.

How it works

From one Figma file
to a live system.

Your license provisions a dedicated skill server tied to a single master file. Publish it as a library, connect AI tools, and run the system from the plugin — or the CLI. The foundation work is already done — variables, schemas, token mapping, documentation — so your team skips the setup that usually gets cut and starts building immediately.

01
Plugin
The ShopFront plugin is the control center — a theme controller, skill runner, AI chat, and CLI in one panel. Everything starts here.
→
02
Access key
Your key authenticates the plugin and provisions a dedicated server tied to your master design system file. Publish it as a Figma library — unlimited designers per license.
→
03
Skill server
A private server hosts skills and documentation specific to your version. Push custom skills, pull updates — your AI tools read from here.
→
04
AI layer
Use the plugin's built-in chat or connect your own AI tool via API key. Both read from the same skill server — same skills, same docs, same output.
ShopFront plugin interface
The plugin

One plugin. One key.
Your own server.

Each license provisions a dedicated skill server tied to a single Figma file. Your team connects through the plugin — no setup, no devops, no shared infrastructure.

The plugin More than a library browser — it's the operating layer
Theme controller
Skin the entire design system to any brand. Swap tokens, update schemes, and preview the result — all without touching individual components.
Skill engine
Store, browse, and execute skills directly from the plugin. Apply metaobject naming, enforce token usage, assemble pages — repeatable actions that stay consistent.
AI chat
Built-in AI chat connects via your own API key. Ask questions about usage, run skills through conversation, or get guidance without leaving Figma.
CLI access
Run skills and system commands from the command line. Power users and AI agents operate through the same interface — plugin optional, server required.
One master file
Each access key is scoped to one Figma file — the client's master design system. Publish it as a library so other team files can pull components, tokens, and styles directly from it.
Version-aware docs
Your server delivers documentation matched to the system version you're running. Skills and rules stay in sync as the system evolves.
Bring your own AI
The plugin chat is convenient, but not required. Connect any AI tool to your skill server — same skills, same guardrails, same results.

FAQ

Common questions,
straight answers.

What do I actually get with a license?
A master Figma design system file with 2,847 components across 106 pages, a full token system, and access to a dedicated skill server. The file works as a publishable Figma library — your team pulls components, tokens, and styles from it into any project file. You also get the ShopFront plugin and AI integration layer.
How does agency licensing work?
Agencies apply for partnership and sign a contract. Once approved, you purchase a license per project or brand through us. Each license provisions a dedicated server and master file for that client. There's no limit on how many designers can work inside the file.
How does brand licensing work?
Brands can purchase a license directly — no approval process. You get your own master file and skill server. Every agency or vendor you work with operates inside your system, keeping design consistent across teams.
Does it only work with specific Shopify themes?
No. ShopFront ships with Dawn and Horizon support built in, but the token layer is theme-agnostic. It works equally well with fully custom themes and headless builds — Hydrogen, Next.js, or any frontend. The system doesn't depend on any single theme.
What about checkout and account pages?
Checkout and account flows ship as a separate standalone Figma library file, with components mapped to Shopify-owned variables. It includes AI instructions to connect your core system file to the checkout file automatically.
What does the plugin do?
The ShopFront plugin is a theme controller, skill engine, AI chat, and CLI in one panel. Use it to skin the design system to any brand, store and run skills (like applying metaobject naming or enforcing tokens), ask questions about usage, and execute commands. Your AI tool can also connect directly to the skill server — the plugin chat is convenient but not required.
Do I need to use a specific AI tool?
No. The plugin has built-in AI chat that connects via your own API key, but you can also connect any external AI tool to your skill server. Both read from the same skills and documentation — same output regardless of which tool you use.
Can I use it for wireframing?
Yes. The system works at every stage — start with structural wireframes that map to real Shopify sections, then apply brand tokens to bring them to production quality. You're never switching tools or rebuilding. The same components carry you from first sketch to final handoff.
Is it useful for CRO work?
Very. Because you're working within a controlled, token-bound system, every test variation stays on-brand and implementation-ready. No one-off mockups that break the system — every change maps to real Shopify settings. Faster iteration, cleaner handoff to dev, fewer regressions.
How many designers can use one license?
Unlimited. Each license is scoped to one Figma file, not a seat count. Add as many designers as you need — they all work inside the same system with the same tokens and skills.

The right foundation
on day one.

ShopFront gives design and development teams the structure to move fast, stay consistent, and build Shopify storefronts that scale.
