Default Template
1. What is the Default template:
Default templates control what's rendered on each type of page in a theme by default.
Each page type in Shopify has an associated template type. And you must have a matching default template for any page type that you want to render. For example, to render a product page, you need at least one default template of type 'product'.
Within the context of the Easy Content Builder, default templates refer to the following default templates:
- The product.json template renders the product pages, which contain a product's media and content, and a form for customers to select a variant and add it to the cart.
- The page.json template renders the store's pages, like About us or Contact us.
- The article.json template renders the article pages, which contain the full content of the article.
2. When is the Default template used in the Easy Content Builder app:
The Easy Content Builder (ECB) app allows you to build a unique template for each page with your custom layout and content.
The ECB app will use the Default template as a Base template in the following cases:

In the theme editor, you can discover which templates are applied to which pages and then edit them to customize the information displayed to your customers.
