What is Widget Studio?

Widget Studio is the no-code design and voice editor for the Elara widget inside the merchant dashboard. You set the accent colour, corner radius, typography, logo and light or dark surface; write the opener for each page type and the stylist’s tone; choose where the pill sits — and preview all of it on your live store before publishing. No theme code, no developer, and one click turns the whole widget off.

Brand teams get a colour picker and a prayer.

03

The opener is the most-read sentence on your site. Most tools write it for you.

Yes. The widget inherits your theme’s fonts by default, or you can set your own in Widget Studio.

Yes, per page type — product, collection, cart — with a live preview. If you leave one blank, Elara drafts it in your brand’s tone for you to edit.

No. Each store has its own Studio settings, openers and thresholds; you can copy a configuration between stores.

One click in the dashboard, instantly, per store. The script stays in your theme but renders nothing.

No. Install is four lines or the Shopify app; everything after that is in the dashboard.

Yes. Preview renders the widget on your live store for you only, and Playground lets you test the stylist’s answers on your catalog.
