The theme editor allows you to apply a range of customizations across various pages, including the menu, product detail pages, shopping bag and checkout areas, location pages, loyalty sections, as well as components like buttons and form fields. Comprehensive guides will be provided to clarify the functionality of each section and the editing process.

The SEO and scripts section is where you initially configure your SEO titles and meta descriptions for the primary domain. If you have specific script requirements, such as Google Tag Manager or GA4, those id's can be incorporated here to apply across your site. Should you intend to implement any custom scripts, the Veya team is available to assist you. For instance, if you're utilizing scripts like Attentive or scripts such as One Trust or User Way, those can be added here, and the Veya team can provide support.

If you have redirect needs, such as a 301 for an old link, you can set those up here.

The announcement bar area allows you to add a specific announcement across the top of your web experience.

Similar to the web section, the app sections maintain a similar structure, featuring a pages, navigation and theme editor area where you can set up and modify content specific to your app pages.
