Digital theme

DZBuild's dark, digital-goods-only theme — hero slider, category strip, top sellers, and its own product, checkout and order-tracking pages.

Written by Support

The Digital theme is a dark, modern storefront built for digital products and services — game top-ups, software licences, gift cards, e-books, subscriptions. It is available on the Free plan.

🛑 Important — Digital is a mode switch, not a skin

Activating Digital converts your store to digital-products mode. The storefront stops collecting wilaya, commune and address, and shipping rates, courier integration and cash-on-delivery are all disabled. The theme picker forces you through a confirmation modal — with a 10-second cooldown before the confirm button unlocks — spelling this out.

If you sell physical products, pick another theme: Started V2 or Promobi for tech and streetwear, Bloom for beauty, Prestige for fashion and jewellery. Switching a Digital store back to a physical theme restores the normal flow, but the digital-product pages and digital payment paths stop working while you're away.

A store is either digital or physical, never both at once. If you sell both kinds, open a second store on the same account and run the other kind there. You can create it once every store you already own is on an active paid plan, see Multi-store.

What switching to Digital turns off

Read this before you upload anything. Digital changes the storefront and the dashboard at the same time.

Turned off

What replaces it

Wilaya, commune and address at checkout

Contact channels: Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, plus up to three fields you define at /dashboard/digital/checkout-fields

Shipping rates and free-shipping thresholds

Nothing to price. There is no delivery leg

Courier links and send-to-delivery

Nothing to send. No parcel is created

Cash on Delivery

A free digital order or, with the Payment Gateway add-on, a transfer receipt the customer uploads or a CIB / EDAHABIA card payment

The digital pages in the dashboard (Payment, Storage, Orders and Checkout fields, all under /dashboard/digital/) open only while Digital is your active theme. Pick another theme and they send you back to your dashboard home until you switch again. Nothing is deleted in the meantime: your uploaded files, payment methods and digital orders are still there when you come back.

Highlights

  • Dark palette by default — indigo primary on a near-black background

  • 3-slide hero slider, each slide with its own image, headline, button label and link

  • Sidebar widget on the homepage — a featured or per-category product list with your own title

  • Category strip, Top sellers, Popular by category and a multi-column block

  • Two promotional banners

  • Its own product page, checkout page and order-tracking page — Digital is the only theme that overrides all three

  • Native variant picker with thumbnails and price pills for options flagged show as card

Digital does not have a hero video, a grid-density control or a mobile bottom navigation bar: the themes with a bottom nav are Brico, Started V2 and Bloom, and Digital uses the shared hamburger drawer. Its own blocks have no product carousel. If you want one, add a Produits d'une catégorie / منتجات فئة or Sélection de produits / منتجات مختارة section with the Carrousel / شريط تمرير layout from Home page sections. There is no dark-mode toggle either: the theme is dark, full stop.

💡 Tip — Pure white won't stick

Because Digital is a dark theme, choosing exactly #ffffff for the background or the navbar is overridden back to Digital's dark defaults. Use an off-white such as #fefefe if you want a light surface.

Best for

  • Game top-ups, in-game currency, and gaming accounts

  • Software licences, keys and subscriptions

  • Gift cards and vouchers

  • E-books, courses and downloadable files

  • Online services delivered without shipping

Where to customize

Everything lives on the normal customize page: Dashboard → Customize (/dashboard/customize). Once Digital is active, its own sections appear there alongside the shared controls:

Section

What it sets

Hero slider

Sidebar widget title + category, and 3 slides (image, headline, button text, button link)

Category cards

The homepage category strip

Top sellers

The best-sellers block

Popular by category

Per-category product rows

Promotional banners

Two banner slots

Multi-column

The multi-column content block

A legacy standalone URL exists at /dashboard/customize/digital, but it isn't linked from the dashboard and redirects to /dashboard/customize if Digital isn't your active theme.

Banner and hero-slide buttons link to the products section, a category or a product. Unlike the other themes, Digital's link picker has no custom-URL field, so Digital's own banners cannot point at a landing page. For a button that opens any other page, add a Bannière image / لافتة بصورة section from Home page sections and pick Autre lien… / رابط آخر… as its link.

Digital's layout data is stored separately from the shared store settings, so if you switch away and come back later, your slider, banners and blocks are still there.

Variants on the Digital theme

Digital's built-in variant picker already handles rich options: mark an option show as card in the product editor and it renders with a thumbnail plus a price pill showing the price adjustment. Colour options without a card image render as colour swatches. Selecting an option that is bound to a product image moves the gallery to that image.

The optional Digital Product Variants addon (Pro plan, Digital theme only) replaces that picker with a collapsible accordion:

  1. Each variant group becomes a collapsible section.

  2. Each option shows its name, its final price (base price plus that option's price adjustment), and a colour dot for colour options that carry a colour code.

  3. Sold-out options are labelled.

  4. Selection is single-choice across all groups.

⚠️ Warning — The addon removes the thumbnails

The accordion has no per-option preview images, and installing it hides Digital's native picker — so the show as card thumbnails disappear. Install it if you want a compact, priced accordion; skip it if the images are what sell your options.

See the variants guide for setting up variants.

The two paid Digital add-ons

Digital itself costs nothing to activate, but two of its features are sold separately and billed by the month. You buy them from the pages they belong to, for the number of months you choose.

Add-on

Price

What it adds

Payment Gateway (/dashboard/digital/payment)

500 DZD per month

Your own payment methods at checkout: CCP, BaridiMob, RedotPay or custom accounts, where the customer uploads a transfer receipt before you confirm the order, and CIB / EDAHABIA card payment through your own Slick-Pay account (you paste its public key), where the customer pays by card and receives the order at once

500 DZD (300 items), 900 DZD (600), 1,500 DZD (1,200), 2,200 DZD (3,000) or 3,000 DZD (unlimited) per month

Storage for the files, codes and accounts you deliver after a sale

Both are paid by card, either CIB / Edahabia or a global card billed in USD. Until Payment Gateway is active, the payment page shows the purchase card only and no method can be saved, so a Digital store without it can hand out free downloads but has no way to take money at checkout.

Tips

  • Lead with the offer in slide 1. The hero slider is three images; the first one carries most of the clicks.

  • Keep slide images light. Three full-width images load on first paint, and Algerian mobile networks are unforgiving.

  • Use the price pill as a teaser — mark the best-value option show as card so shoppers see the cheaper price before they open the picker.

  • Your storefront runs in one language by default (Arabic or French, set under Customize, Store language), and the cart and checkout wording follows that setting. The Multi-Language Store add-on (Unlimited plan and above, so Enterprise too) adds a language selector to Digital's navbar, footer and side drawer, and lets the visitor switch the whole interface, cart and checkout included, between Arabic and French. It can also read the browser's language on the first visit. Your own product names and descriptions are not translated: they stay exactly as you typed them.
