It is an inventory rather than an explanation. :::note For how these records work together, which one controls a given part of the page, and what to change to affect it, read [how stores, themes, and design elements relate](how-stores-themes-and-design-relate). That article covers the model; this one lists the objects and their API names. ::: ## Four chains to know The domain is not one hierarchy. It is four short chains that all start at the [Store](store-object-reference). | Chain | Records | |-------|---------| | Markup | Store → [Theme](theme-object-reference) → [Templates](theme-template-object-reference), [Assets](theme-asset-object-reference), [Variables](theme-variable-object-reference), [Locales](theme-locale-object-reference) | | Content | [Page](page-object-reference) → [Content Block Page](content-blocks-pages-object-reference) → [Content Block](content-block-object-reference) → nested blocks | | Navigation | Store → [Menu](menu-object-reference) → [Menu Items](menu-item-object-reference) | | Injection | Store → [Style Block](style-block-object-reference), [Script Block](script-block-object-reference) | Two things about that table are worth stating plainly, because they are what people get wrong: - **A content block is never on a page directly.** The join record is what places it, and it carries the order. See [junction objects](junction-objects). - **The store, not the theme, decides most configuration.** The theme owns markup. Currency, checkout behavior, domain, and which menus to use are on the **Store** record. ## Objects in this domain | Object | API name | Purpose | |--------|----------|---------| | [Store](store-object-reference) | `s_c__Store__c` | The hub. Holds branding, currency, checkout settings, domain, and which theme and menus to use | | [Store Group](store-group-object-reference) | `s_c__Store_Group__c` | Groups stores that share configuration or catalog | | [Store Variable](store-variable-object-reference) | `s_c__Store_Variable__c` | A named value a theme can read, for settings without a code change | | [Store Role](store-role-object-reference) | `s_c__Store_Role__c` | A named role used to grant staff permissions on a store | | [Web Domain](web-domain-object-reference) | `s_c__Web_Domain__c` | A domain or path a store is served from | | [Route Mapping](route-mapping-object-reference) | `s_c__Route_Mapping__c` | Maps a URL path to the page or record that answers it | | [Locale Translation](locale-translation-object-reference) | `s_c__Locale_Translation__c` | A translated string for one locale | | [Theme](theme-object-reference) | `s_c__Theme__c` | A named set of templates, assets, variables, and locales. A store points at one | | [Theme Template](theme-template-object-reference) | `s_c__Theme_Template__c` | One Liquid template, keyed by the page type or block it renders | | [Theme Asset](theme-asset-object-reference) | `s_c__Theme_Asset__c` | A file the theme serves, such as CSS, JavaScript, or a font | | [Theme Variable](theme-variable-object-reference) | `s_c__Theme_Variable__c` | A value the theme reads, set per theme rather than per store | | [Theme Locale](theme-locale-object-reference) | `s_c__Theme_Locale__c` | Theme-level translations for one locale | | [Page](page-object-reference) | `s_c__Page__c` | A content page, with its slug, SEO fields, and body | | [Page Tag](page-tag-object-reference) | `s_c__Page_Tag__c` | Attaches a tag to a page | | [Related Page](related-page-object-reference) | `s_c__Related_Page__c` | Links two pages so one appears as related on the other | | [Content Block](content-block-object-reference) | `s_c__Content_Block__c` | A reusable piece of page content, with a template and its own fields | | [Content Block Page](content-blocks-pages-object-reference) | `s_c__Content_Blocks_Pages__c` | Places a content block on a page, in order | | [Content Block Product](content-blocks-products-object-reference) | `s_c__Content_Blocks_Products__c` | Places a content block on a product | | [Content Block Article](content-blocks-articles-object-reference) | `s_c__Content_Blocks_Articles__c` | Places a content block on an article | | [Content Block Product Category](content-blocks-product-categories-object-reference) | `s_c__Content_Blocks_Product_Categories__c` | Places a content block on a category | | [Content Block Child](content-blocks-children-object-reference) | `s_c__Content_Blocks_Children__c` | Nests one content block inside another | | [Menu](menu-object-reference) | `s_c__Menu__c` | A named navigation menu. A store points at one for its header and one for its footer | | [Menu Item](menu-item-object-reference) | `s_c__Menu_Item__c` | One entry in a menu, linking to a page, category, product, or URL | | [Style Block](style-block-object-reference) | `s_c__Style_Block__c` | CSS injected into the storefront, scoped to a store | | [Script Block](script-block-object-reference) | `s_c__Script_Block__c` | JavaScript or tracking markup injected into the storefront | ## Where it meets other domains - **Catalog.** Content blocks attach to products and categories as well as pages, and menu items link to them. See [catalog objects](catalog-objects). - **Content.** [Articles](article-object-reference) and their categories are separate from pages and take content blocks the same way, through [Content Block Article](content-blocks-articles-object-reference). - **Customers and accounts.** A [membership](membership-object-reference) can gate a page or an article, through [Membership Page](membership-page-object-reference) and [Membership Article](membership-article-object-reference). See [customer and account objects](customer-and-account-objects). - **The storefront.** Most of these objects have a Liquid counterpart, and the **On the storefront** section on each object reference names it. The [Theme Template](theme-template-object-reference) records are the template keys a theme resolves. Almost every relationship in this domain runs through a join record, more so than anywhere else in the schema. [Junction objects](junction-objects) is worth reading before you query or import here. --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of the StoreConnect site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
