Primary buttons serve as the main call-to-action elements on your website. These include "Add to Cart," auto-layout buttons, and primary header buttons. You can customize their appearance through Website Style settings.

To customize button design:

  1. Open Website Styles menu and navigate to "Buttons"
  2. Select button type (Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary)
  3. Customize the following elements:
  • Text font and style
  • Shape (fill or outline)
  • Outline thickness
  • Horizontal padding
  • Vertical padding

Button colors follow your website's global color scheme. You can set:

  • Background color (for filled buttons)
  • Text color
  • Outline color (for non-filled buttons)

Secondary buttons are used for less prominent actions like "Continue Shopping" and "Submit" forms. Tertiary buttons are typically used for auxiliary actions like "Manage Cookies."

Important considerations:

  • Keep button text under 25 characters for optimal appearance
  • Changes apply site-wide for consistency
  • Use "Apply to All Button Types" to match styles across button types
  • Reset options available for default settings

Button types and their applications:

Primary:

  • Add to Cart buttons
  • Checkout buttons
  • Donation block buttons
  • Member registration buttons

Secondary:
