Store-type notes: Motion product video
- The theme zip ships no video files: the video sections use the theme’s own illustrations as image covers. The demo import turns 5 of them into looping video covers when the demo clips are available; otherwise the illustrations stay.
- To add your own clip, select the Cover block and choose Replace → Upload with an MP4. Keep clips short and small (a few seconds, under about 5 MB), muted, and keep the dark overlay at 60% or more so the text on top stays readable.
- The videos play muted in a loop, pause when they are off screen and for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and have a pause button. Products can have a clip in the Product video box, shown on the product page.
AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
With the AI kit, an assistant can rebrand LT Temper, rewrite the origin map and cocoa scale for your bars, add sections and build launch pages without breaking block markup. It follows the theme's rules: samples stay marked, allergen lists stay placeholders and no health claims are written.
Example prompt: Set up this LT Temper store for my chocolate brand "Cacao North" (sample): five bars from 55% to 85%, a box of nine bonbons and drinking chocolate. Phone (555) 010-2040, email [email protected], shop at 12 Mill Lane, Harbourton, open Thu–Sat 10–17. Use the Milk style with my brand colour #6B3A2A, replace every sample address and delivery promise, keep allergen placeholders and run python3 tools/check-theme.py –launch.
See AI kit for the files, the prompts and the Abilities.
Before you go live
Everything in the demo is sample content: products, prices, specs, reviews, addresses and opening times. Replace it with your own, or delete it, and follow the going-live checklist. Pro Unlimited: python3 tools/check-theme.py --launch in the theme folder lists every sample left.

Questions about LT Temper
Does the theme include the chocolate videos?
No. The theme ships its own flat illustrations. The Pro demo import adds the demo clips, and you can replace any cover with your own MP4 in the editor.
How do the cocoa rings on product cards work?
Give a product its cocoa percentage as a product tag, for example "70% cocoa". The card shows it as a ring; rings are ready for 45, 55, 64, 70, 85 and 100%, and one CSS line adds another value.
Is the bonbon box builder a live configurator?
No. It is a static section that explains the box. Customers pick the box size on the product page; a live flavour picker needs a product add-ons plugin.
Can I use it for a light-coloured shop?
Yes. Switch to the Milk style for a cream and milk-chocolate look; every section and video cover adapts to it.
Are the origins and allergen details real?
No. Farms, regions, tasting notes and prices are samples, and allergen lists are placeholders until you add your own.
Does it suit other makers?
Yes. Coffee roasters, tea blenders or other small makers can rename the origin map, cocoa scale and box builder for their own products.
