- Storefront Modes Explained: Linked, Embedded, and Full PageA high-level look at the three ways your personalizable product can appear on your store, what each one suits, and when you choose between them.
- Finish Setup With the Onboarding ChecklistSee the six setup steps, which steps you can defer, why Billing is required, and when Composerie verifies that onboarding is complete.
- Glossary of Key Composerie TermsShort, plain definitions of the words you will see across Composerie: product, variant, design, template, add-on, provider, customizer, and storefront mode.
- Product, Design, Template and Surface: What Contains WhatFour words that get used interchangeably. Three of them nest inside each other and the fourth sits beside, which decides where you go to change something.
- What a Personalization Field IsA field is four things at once: the layer it changes, the label the shopper reads, the input type, and the rules. Two of those never appear on your storefront.
- What Publishing Actually DoesPublishing takes a snapshot and points your store at it. Knowing what the snapshot contains explains why a saved edit is not live and why a blocker names a field.
- What the Customizer Is, and Everywhere It RunsThe shopper's side of Composerie appears in four places, and only two of them can take an order. Knowing which is which stops a passing preview from being mistaken for a working storefront.
- What Is in an OrderAn order page is three records stacked: the sale from Shopify, the personalization from the shopper, and the production Composerie owns. Every question belongs to exactly one of them.

- Design Versions, and Why an Order Stays on OneEvery save adds a numbered snapshot. An order freezes to the one the shopper approved, your store stays on the one you published, and only the editor moves.
- From Design to Print FileA print file is not an export of your canvas. It is a render of a frozen revision, with the shopper's values in it, at the size the provider asked for.
