Shopp's templates are really hybrid HTML/PHP files. Each template corresponds to a particular interface (shopping page) that Shopp uses to display your catalog of products, product pages, the shopping cart, and all the other shopping screens.

Shopp comes with a set of default templates that are used automatically. They have been intentionally designed to be generic enough to fit most operations.
