Below, you'll find a list of supported fields. Keep in mind that you can continue using the rest of the out-of-the-box templates to build your site. Consult the [content block templates](https://help.getstoreconnect.com/documentation/content-block-templates.html) help article for a complete overview of the supported fields for each template.\n\n### Supported fields and relationships\n\n### **Accordion**\n\n**Supported Fields:**\n\n- Title\n- Content\n\n![Accordion content block expanded to show title and collapsible content sections](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1754868507/knowledge/themes-downloadable/sdt-accordion_rkorwu.jpg)\n\n---\n\n### **Container**\n\n**Supported Fields and Values:**\n\n- Alignment\n  - `text-center`: Centers the headline and call-to-action if populated.\n- Title\n- Subtitle\n- Child content blocks\n- Link label and target\n\n---\n\n### **Donation card**\n\n**Primary Uses:**\n\n1.

We provide support documentation and guidance only.\n:::\n\nTo create a global donation bar, configure two global custom fields at the store level:\n\n- `Donations_Total__c`\n- `Donation_Target__c`\n\nOnce set up, create a content block using the donation progress bar template and assign it to the page where you want the progress bar to display.\n\n---\n\n### **Featured products**\n\n**Supported Fields:**\n\n- Title\n- Link target and label\n- Products (Relationship Type)\n  - If 4 or fewer products are related, a grid layout is displayed.\n  - If more than 4 products are related, a carousel is displayed.\n\n---\n\n### **Image beside text**\n\n**Supported Fields:**\n\n- Image\n- Title\n- Subtitle\n- Content\n- Link target and label\n\n---\n\n### **Image text overlay**\n\n**Supported Fields:**\n\n- Title\n- Subtitle\n- Content\n- Link target and label\n- **Type Field:**\n  - \"Set the background color\" applies an overlay and changes the font color to white.\n- **Product (Relationship Type):**\n  - Displays a donation box on the right side.\n- **Alignment:**\n  - Center, left, or right.\n- Video (takes precedence if both an image and video are provided).\n- Image\n\n---\n\n### **Image**\n\nSingle images now support the following fields:\n\n- Image\n- Title\n- Content (used as a caption)\n- Link label and target (if set, turn the entire image into an anchor link with a hover effect)\n\n### Translation keys\n\nRunning a nonprofit store may require aligning text to your industry standards. By default, StoreConnect provides a comprehensive list of translatable strings you can configure to suit your needs.\n\nFor example:\n\n- Replace “cart” with “basket.”\n- Use “donor” instead of “customer.”\n\nThe Simple Donation theme includes a predefined set of translation keys, but you can extend them using our base theme as a reference.\n\n**[Default Translation Keys](https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/base-theme/blob/main/translations/en.default.csv)**\n\n### Variables\n\nActivate or deactivate specific components by modifying the following variables. If a variable is not set or set to `false`, the component will not display.\n\n- `product.social.share`: `active`\n- `store.allow.promo.codes`: `false`"}
