Store Design
Make your store look exactly how you want. Pick a theme, then change colours, background, header, fonts, cards, widgets, extra CSS, an announcement bar and social links. A live preview shows every change before you save. Premium only.
01What it does
Store Design changes how your store page looks to players. Nothing about your products, prices or payments changes. Open it from Store → Store Design.
Next to the options you'll see a Live preview. It's your real store, so you see your own products, logo and banner while you design. Switch between Computer and Phone at the top of the preview to check both. Checkout is turned off inside the preview.
Store Design is part of Premium. Free servers can try every option and watch the preview change, but can't save. Their store keeps the standard Surge look. If Premium ends, the store goes back to the standard look and your design is kept for when Premium comes back.
02How to design your store
- 1Open Store → Store Design.
- 2In Themes, click a theme to start from. It sets the colours, fonts, background and card style in one go.
- 3Go through the other tabs and change anything you like. The preview updates straight away.
- 4Press Save changes in the bar at the bottom. Your store updates for everyone right away.
On a phone or tablet, press Preview next to the tabs to open the preview full screen. Close it to keep editing.
03The tabs
- Themes: thirteen ready-made looks, including Neon Night, Blood Moon, Guild Hall, Lime Circuit and Daylight. Picking one keeps your announcement, links, widgets and extra style.
- Colours: the main colour, a second colour, page, cards, text, buttons, sale badges, and optional header and footer colours. If you let shoppers switch to a bright page, you can set those colours here too.
- Background: Glow, Solid colour, Gradient or your own Image. Images can be darkened and blurred so text stays easy to read. You can add a pattern on top, keep the background still while the page scrolls, and turn on slow movement.
- Header: line-up, height, logo shape, banner on or off, your own headline and subtitle, a Shop now button, and whether to show the store name, tagline and server status.
- Fonts: one font for titles and prices, one for normal text, and a size slider. Each option shows a sample so you can see it first.
- Cards and layout: card style, poster or list layout, size, hover, button shape and fill, category menu across the top or down the side, page width, sticky menu, product search, a floating basket, and a bright-page button for shoppers.
- Widgets: where About this store appears, a featured row at the top, more-like-this products when someone opens a kit, a browser-tab icon, and extra menu links.
- Extra style: paste CSS if you want to tweak spacing or shadows beyond the tabs. It only runs on your store page. HTML and javascript are blocked.
- Announcement and links: a bar at the very top of the store for sales or wipe news, buttons for Discord, website, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Steam and Instagram, and a short footer message.
Your logo, banner image, store name, tagline and currency stay in Store Setup.
04Good to know
- Images and links have to start with https://. Host pictures somewhere like Imgur and paste the direct image link.
- A red dot on a tab means something there needs fixing before you can save, like an empty announcement message.
- Discard in the save bar throws away changes you haven't saved yet.
- Reset to the standard look at the bottom of the Themes tab removes your design completely.
- Every design is built to work on phones, tablets and computers, so there's nothing extra to set up for mobile.
