Layout

Layout settings in Slab control storefront spacing and section-level scroll snapping behavior. Use Theme settings > Layout.

Set up layout settings

Use this order so global layout decisions are in place before section-level tuning.

1

Set global layout spacing

1. Open Theme settings > Layout.

2. Set Horizontal margin to control overall storefront width.

3. Set Gap size to control default spacing rhythm between elements.

2

Enable vertical scroll snapping globally

1. In Theme settings > Layout, enable Enable scroll snapping.

2. Save your changes.

After this is enabled, supported sections can use Scroll snap alignment.

3

Configure section scroll snap alignment

1. Open each section you want to participate in vertical snapping.

2. Set Scroll snap alignment for that section.

3. Leave sections on None when they should scroll normally.

4. Preview full-page scrolling on desktop and mobile before publishing.

Suggested defaults for most stores

• Start with Horizontal margin set to the standard option, then widen or narrow based on content density.

• Keep Gap size near default unless your brand style needs tighter or looser spacing.

• Enable scroll snapping only on templates where section-by-section browsing improves storytelling or conversion.

• Use section-level alignment selectively, not on every section, to avoid a rigid scroll experience.
