# Product template

By default, you can customize using the **Default product** template.

**Any changes you make to a template will impact all pages that use that template**. If you want to display some pages of that type differently, then you can create a new template based on one that already exists in your theme.

## Create a new product template

1\. In the theme editor (**Customize**), use the page selector to open **Products > Create template**.
