What is Hellostore?
Works on its own. Even better together.
Section titled “Works on its own. Even better together.”Hellostore Theme is built on Shopify’s official Dawn theme, with the features Japanese ecommerce needs included from the start.
On its own, it works as a store immediately. Even without any AI apps, the shopping flow Japanese commerce requires — gift wrapping (noshi), shipping-cost guidance, and Specified Commercial Transactions Act disclosures — is all there from day one.
Fields for a preferred delivery date and time are available only when Theme settings includes Delivery calendar. Without that group, available time slots differ by carrier, so use a dedicated app (for example, 配送日時指定 .amp or 配送日指定.JP). See Japanese ecommerce essentials for details.
Add Hellostore’s apps on top, and the theme awakens into an AI store.
A Shopify theme with Japanese ecommerce essentials built in. Built on Dawn for compatibility, with noshi gifting, shipping-cost guidance, legal disclosures, and large variant support.
An AI chat that serves shoppers as a staff member would. It resolves size, gifting, and delivery questions in conversation and carries the results straight into the cart. The inline chat embedded in product pages and the cart is a theme-integration exclusive.
Shoppers manage their own sizes in new customer accounts. Pro automatically selects a matching available size on supported product pages.
Present products with the theme, answer questions with Hellostore AI Staff, and manage sizes with Hellostore Accounts. Sharing Accounts data with AI Staff and freely rendering saved fields in the theme are not included in app version 1.0.

The basic setup flow

- Lay out your content — arrange sections in the Theme Editor and build each page → Section reference
