Product Page Templates Just Got Easier: Custom PDPs Now Copy Your Default Design

This update is simple, but it fixes a genuine headache.

Before, when you enabled the “Create Custom Product Details Page” option, GoHighLevel would generate a blank Custom PDP. No structure. No store elements. No styling. Just an empty canvas.

So if you wanted a Custom PDP for a certain product (or a group of products), you had to rebuild the full layout every single time. That meant re-adding the product gallery, title, price, variants, CTA button, spacing, fonts, colors, mobile tweaks… the whole deal.

Now, Custom PDP creation works the way you’d expect product page templates to work.

When you create a new Custom PDP, GoHighLevel copies your existing Default Product Details Page design and drops you directly into the builder with a production-ready layout already in place. You’re not starting from nothing anymore. You’re starting from your default “master” page, then making edits only where you need differences.

Before vs After (quick reality check)

• Before: Custom PDP = blank page + rebuild everything manually.
• After: Custom PDP = your Default PDP design copied over + edit what you want + publish.

This is a speed upgrade, but it’s also a consistency upgrade. Less rebuilding means fewer mistakes. And fewer mistakes means fewer “why does this product page look different?” messages from clients.

This is the part that makes the update worth using. When you create a Custom Product Details Page now, GoHighLevel copies your real Default PDP build, not just a basic theme. So your Custom PDP opens with a complete layout that is ready to edit.

Your Custom PDP inherits the page structure and the store elements. That includes your section layout, columns, spacing, and the key product blocks like media, title, price, variants, and your main CTA button. In plain terms, your product page templates start with the same working “bones” as your Default PDP.

It also copies your styling and device rules. Fonts, colors, padding, borders, shadows, and desktop or mobile visibility settings carry over. That means less mobile cleanup and less time fixing small design issues before you publish.

This is where people get confused. “Inherit” does not mean your pages stay connected. It just means GoHighLevel makes a copy at the start, then your Custom PDP goes its own way.

First, your Default PDP does not change. Creating a Custom PDP does not replace it or edit it. Think of the Default PDP as your master layout for product page templates. It stays clean and safe while you create new pages from it.

Second, the copy happens one time. There is no live sync. If you update the Default PDP later, your existing Custom PDPs will not update. And if you edit a Custom PDP, it will not change the Default PDP. That also means older Custom PDPs you already built stay exactly as they are.

This matters because it saves you from repeating the same work. With this update, one Custom Product Details Page can be assigned to multiple products. So you can build one solid page once, then reuse it across a whole group.

Here is how it works. When you turn on “Create Custom Product Details Page,” you can select one or more products during setup. Those products will all use that same Custom PDP. If you edit that Custom PDP later, every assigned product will show the updated version, since they share the same page.

For agencies, this makes product page templates much easier to manage. You can create a few page types, like a simple layout, a variant-heavy layout, or a premium offer layout, then assign each one to the right products. Start with a clean Default PDP first, then create Custom PDPs only when a product group needs a different structure.

If you are working inside ClickFunnels flows, you may not see the “Create Custom Product Details Page” option. That is expected. The toggle is hidden in the ClickFunnels flow editor, so it can look like the feature disappeared.

GoHighLevel does this to keep ClickFunnels flows clean and funnel-first. The flow editor is meant for the selling path, not for store page setup. So GoHighLevel removes extra store options to keep the steps simple and consistent.

If you want to use product page templates with Custom PDPs, create them from Sites, then Stores, then Pages. Quick check: if you are inside a ClickFunnels flow editor, switch to the Store pages area and you will see the Custom PDP option.

Product page templates are created inside the Stores area under Sites. You will open your Stores list, select the store you are working on, go to Pages, then add a new page with “Create Custom Product Details Page” turned on. When you create the page, GoHighLevel will copy your Default Product Details Page design so you can start editing immediately instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Here are the steps to create a Custom Product Details Page that inherits your Default PDP design.

• Open the store you want to edit.
• Add a new page for the store.
• Name the new page.
• Turn on Create Custom Product Details Page.
• Select the product(s) to assign and Create the page.
• Open the page with the inherited design.
• Edit and publish the inherited design.

To start make sure you are logged in to your GoHighLevel sub-account.

7.4 Click Publish.

Product page templates are only helpful if they actually save you time. This update finally does that. When you create a Custom Product Details Page in GoHighLevel, it now starts by copying your Default Product Details Page design. So you land on a real layout, not a blank page that you have to rebuild.

A smart move is to treat your Default PDP like your master template. Clean it up once, then create Custom PDPs only when you need a different layout for a product group. That keeps your store consistent and keeps your workload light.

Two quick habits will save you headaches. First, remember the copy happens once, so changes to the Default PDP will not update older Custom PDPs. Second, always check the mobile preview before you publish since small spacing issues can hide there.

Product page templates are not just a “excellent builder upgrade.” For agencies and store owners, this is a speed and quality win simultaneously Instead of rebuilding a Custom PDP from scratch, you start with a proven layout that already matches the store’s brand. That means fewer design slips, fewer missed elements, and less back-and-forth when you are trying to launch fast.

For agencies, this tightens up fulfillment. You can standardize your Default PDP once, then spin up Custom PDPs for special cases like premium products, variant-heavy items, or bundles. Since one Custom PDP can be assigned to multiple products, you can build a clean set of page types and reuse them across a full catalog. That keeps the store looking consistent while still letting you customize where it matters.

For your clients, the payoff shows up in the shopper experience. When product pages follow the same structure, customers trust the store more and find what they need faster. And when you can publish faster, you can test offers sooner, react to promos quicker, and keep momentum instead of getting stuck in page rebuild work.

This update fixes a simple problem that wasted a lot of time. Custom Product Details Pages in GoHighLevel no longer start as blank pages. Now they inherit your Default PDP design, so your product page templates begin with a real layout that is ready to edit.

If you want to get the most out of it, clean up your Default PDP first. Then create Custom PDPs only when you need a different layout for a product type or offer. Use multi-product assignments to keep things organized and consistent across the store.
