Let me download the zipfile to import to shopify, because when I tried importing, it looked nothing like the demo store!

Please allow 30 products per page. Or if it still needs to be in step then allow 40 per page. I read somewhere that the max per page was 50 but the them won't let me go above 36.

Hey, this should be an aspect that can be adjusted by editing the theme code. Most aspects of your site can be changed - if not in the theme editor then by editing the theme files. Please contact our Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) to see if you are eligible for Design Time (https://bit.ly/3F5vga5) so we can look into this further with you.

Super cool and customizable. I was able to create a very cool website, without hiring a professional or spending hundreds $$... It takes time and patience to learn if you are not experienced.

Hey there, this is something that happens when using Safari and you will need to disable some settings in the browser for the editor to function better. First go to Safari > Settings > Privacy, then disable "Prevent cross-site tracking". Then go back to Settings > Advanced, then disable "Block all cookies". After doing these steps the issue should no longer occur.
