✨ Want to give your store a fresh design touch without switching themes every time?
Add-on components let you update the look of your store in minutes, with no redesign project and no complicated setup.
Instead of installing a whole new theme, you buy a ready-made add-on component — a single design piece or a full design pack — and drop it straight into your homepage. Your branding stays consistent, your existing design stays intact, and the change takes minutes. In this guide, you'll learn how to browse, buy, install, and customize add-on components on Salla.
To buy one, open the Themes store, go to the (Add-on components) section, and pick the component you want. Review its details, then click (Buy now) if it is paid, or install it directly if it is free. The component is then available when you add a new homepage component in (Customize).
