# Creating a New Product Page Template

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is typically **only required if rentals are not the primary offering** of your store. If you mainly sell products, with rentals as a smaller part of the business, its best you create a Rental Product page template, rather than using the Default Product page template.\
\
**If rentals are the main part of your business**, but you also sell items, then the PRP Rental Widget would typically go into your **Default Product page template**, and you would create a new one named something like "Sale product", with the regular variant picker, quantity and buy buttons blocks.
{% endhint %}

In some cases you want to keep your Default Product page template untouched, and create a new product page template just for rentals. If this is the case, you can create a new product page template by following the steps below.

1. In the bar along the top of the Theme Customizer, click **Home Page** to open the list of templates. Go to **Products** and then click **Create Template.**

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/sZ3pvSzwioej9Otr4CCf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

   &#x20;
2. Enter the name "Rental product", have it *Based on* the *Default product* template, and click **Create template.**

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Go25YKCAFuN6iomRKYrM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

   &#x20;

Your template for rental products has now been created and the theme customizer will load it upon creation so you can start modifying and configuring blocks.

**Keep in mind,** when a product is viewed on your website, it will appear using the theme template that's been assigned to the product on the product configuration screen within the Shopify admin.

To change it, go to the product in Shopify and scroll to the last field on the right-side column, named *Theme template*. There you'll see a dropdown list of the product page theme templates available in your **current/live theme**. (It won't show templates you've created in an alternate theme).
