CandlePlus
Seasons of scent — a candle theme that sells the moment.
CandlePlus organises the store the way candle buyers think: by season and by moment. A season finder routes shoppers to their shelf, product pages carry per-tier scent notes, and the set builder makes gifting a guided three-step.

Scent is seasonal. A generic grid is not.
The store is organised by season and by moment rather than by product type. Pick a season to see which shelf a shopper lands on and how it is merchandised.
The Reset shelf
Neroli · Green fig · Wet stone
Light, sharp, clean. Merchandised as a reset after winter — the collection lands on "open the windows" rather than a floral cliché.
The Long Evening shelf
Salt · Coconut husk · Vetiver
Warm-weather scent sells on memory, not description. Routed to a shelf built around evenings outdoors and the hosting occasion.
The Turning shelf
Woodsmoke · Bergamot · Clove
The category’s peak season. Deepest merchandising: gift sets, tier upgrades, and a bundle path that starts before November.
The Held Indoors shelf
Resin · Dried orange · Cedar
Gifting dominates. The set builder leads, single candles support, and shipping cut-offs surface automatically per collection.
Most candles are gifts. Guide the gift.

01
Pick the occasion
Housewarming, thank-you, birthday, or "no reason". The occasion changes the copy, the card options and the set size suggested.
-
02
Choose the scents
Two, three or five. Cross-season mixing allowed, with a note when the combination fights itself.

03
Add the card and send
Gift note, recipient address, and a delivery date. The bundle total shows the real automatic discount, never an invented saving.
Three places the theme refuses to lie.
Every one of these is a pattern we have flagged in a published audit. Rather than warn about them, the theme makes them impossible.
Subscriptions are labelled, not faked
The subscription block previews exactly what a shopper would see — and says plainly that it requires a Shopify selling plan. It does not pretend to take a recurring order it cannot process.
Bundle maths is real
Set pricing reflects an actual automatic discount configured in your admin. If none exists, the section says so rather than showing a fictional saving.
Scent notes are per tier
A 200g candle and a 60g votive throw differently. Notes and burn time are stored per variant, so the page stops averaging them into a lie.
What's in the box
Included: the full Shopify OS 2.0 theme, all templates and demo content structures, the theme guide, and updates with bug fixes. Not included: feature requests, customisation and implementation — quoted as custom development.
Questions, answered
It organises the store the way candle buyers actually think: by season and by moment. Scent is seasonal and generic stores are not — so the architecture is season-led, from the homepage shelves to the finder, and the whole theme is built to sell the moment a candle creates rather than a wax product.
A short quiz that ships inside the theme routes shoppers to their shelf — their season, their moment — instead of dropping them into a forty-product grid. It runs on your product data, so the routing stays accurate as the catalogue changes.
In tiers rather than a single adjective — what you notice first and what the candle settles into over a burn. Per-tier scent notes give buyers the vocabulary the jar cannot give them through a screen.
Most candles are bought as gifts, so gifting is a guided three-step set builder rather than an afterthought: pick the set, fill it, send it. The bundle math is honest — real automatic discounts, not invented strike-through prices.
Honestly. Subscription messaging is previewed and clearly labelled as requiring a Shopify selling plan — the theme does not fake a subscription flow it cannot deliver. When you connect a subscription app, the designed slots are already there.
78 sections — the largest library in the Convertica line — plus 34 templates and 29 snippets: three homepage variants, three collection layouts, five product-page layouts, an 18-block reorderable buy box, and 53 demo products showing it at scale.
No — zero required apps. The season finder, the set builder and the buy-box blocks all ship inside the theme. The one honest exception is subscriptions, which need a selling-plan app by Shopify’s design — and the theme labels that plainly.
The full Shopify OS 2.0 theme, all templates, sections and demo content structures shown on the live demo, the theme guide, and updates with bug fixes. One licence, one price, no tiers.
Theme updates and bug fixes are included in the price. Feature requests, customisation and implementation are not included — those are quoted separately as custom development by the same studio that built the theme.
Yes — the full live demo store is linked from this page, and the demo password is printed next to the demo button. Take the season finder, build a gift set, and walk a product page before you spend anything.
