Content management
Update your store website's text, images, and content — your developer builds the pages, you fill in the content
This section is the most important one if you want to understand how to update your store website's content without code. Before browsing the individual blocks, read this article first — it explains what the Content management section in your dashboard does, and what it doesn't.
Quick summary
Your developer builds the structure and visual design of your store website. You update the text, images, and other content through blocks that your developer has wired into the pages. You don't build the pages yourself — you fill them in.
How content management works
Putiikkipalvelu is not a classic drag-and-drop page builder. Instead, it works more like a pre-designed content management system — your developer builds your store's website on top of the Putiikkipalvelu API and leaves slots, called blocks, in the pages, into which you fill the content.
When you edit, say, your About us page, you're not editing its layout or structure — you're only editing the content of the blocks that your developer has already placed on the page.
Example: an About us page
Imagine your developer has built you an About us page made up of three blocks:
- Hero section — large heading and background image at the top
- Image and text — image on the left and a description on the right
- Contact text block — address, phone, and email
You open the page in the dashboard and see three blocks listed. You can edit each block's content — change the image, update the text, change the contact details — but the page layout and the order of the blocks stay as the developer designed them.
Who does what
| Task | Who handles it |
|---|---|
| The page's structure and layout (how the page looks) | Developer |
| Adding blocks to pages in the code | Developer |
| Identifying blocks in the code (e.g. block keys) | Developer |
| Updating text, images, and content in the blocks | You |
| Reviewing and publishing the block content | You |
| Adding completely new pages from scratch | Developer |
You can also add new blocks to pages from the dashboard if needed, but only if your developer has instructed you to do so. Generally a new block also requires a code change to appear on the public site — otherwise it'll be saved in the database but not visible to visitors.
Don't delete or reorder blocks yourself
Deleting or reordering blocks can break the page if your developer references them in code by a specific name ("block key"). If you want changes to the page structure, contact your developer first.
What block types are available
Putiikkipalvelu has 13 different block types, grouped into four categories in the dashboard's Add block menu:
- Text & content — Text content, Accordion (FAQ), Text grid
- Images & media — Gallery, Image grid, Carousel and text
- Sections & layouts — Hero section, Image and text, Call to action (CTA), Showcase category
- Shop & info — Latest products, Opening hours, Table
Each block type has its own article that explains, in plain language, what the block does and which fields it has.

For developers
Putiikkipalvelu offers blocks in a headless CMS style: the merchant manages content from the dashboard, and the storefront template fetches blocks from the Storefront API or SDK and renders them however it wants. See the developer documentation at /docs for integration details.
