Turn Sources into Cubes
A transform reads a Source and builds from it. For a product, that means a cube with a card for the Feed and detail behind it — images, description, the add-to-cart control, and whatever else you asked for.
This is the stage that decides what your storefront looks like.
You choose what gets built
Section titled “You choose what gets built”Before a transform runs, you get choices: which parts of the Source become content, and how they are presented. The options are on screen when you run one, and they differ by what you are transforming — a product offers different choices than an Instagram post.
One Source or many
Section titled “One Source or many”You can transform a single Source, or select many and transform them together with the same choices. Building a whole catalogue is the second kind — you set the options once and apply them across everything.
If your Feed looks flat
Section titled “If your Feed looks flat”This is the most common thing worth changing, and it is worth knowing about before you decide your storefront is finished.
Product photography is usually shot on plain white. That works in a grid, where images are small and consistency matters. Full-screen, in a feed, it reads as a catalogue — flat, and easy to swipe past.
If that is what you are seeing, change which image leads. Most product galleries have a lifestyle shot further down — a photograph with a setting and some atmosphere — and that image almost always makes a better Feed card than the cut-out on white.
You can also have a transform add a second card using another image, so the lifestyle shot appears alongside the plain one rather than instead of it.
Other things worth knowing you can change
Section titled “Other things worth knowing you can change”Without going through every option:
- Whether extra images become a gallery or separate cards.
- Whether the product description comes across.
- Whether a prompt to buy is added at the end of the detail.
- How images are fitted to the screen — filling it, or shown whole.
If the result is not what you wanted
Section titled “If the result is not what you wanted”Transform again with different choices. It is not a one-shot operation, and re-running does not discard edits you made by hand — see Keeping your content up to date.
For a whole category of cubes that came out wrong in the same way, changing the options and re-running is much faster than editing them one at a time.
