Routines

Build your first routine

Last updated 2026-06-22

A routine is an ordered list of steps that tells your customer how to use their products. Each step pairs one product with your own instructions — for example, "Cleanse — massage onto damp skin for 30 seconds."

Create a routine

  1. Go to Routines and create a new routine (or click Create your first routine on the home page).
  2. Enter a Routine Name your customers will recognize, e.g. "Glow Morning Ritual".
  3. Choose a Routine TypeAM for a morning routine or PM for a night routine.

Add steps

Every routine needs at least one step. For each step:

  1. Click Add step.
  2. Give it a Step name, e.g. "Cleanse".
  3. Click Select product and choose the matching product from your store. LayerWise reads your live Shopify catalog — there's nothing to import. The product's title and image are saved with the step.
  4. Write the Instructions for that step.

Steps are numbered in the order you add them — that's the order your customer will follow. Use the delete icon on a step to remove it.

Save as draft or publish

Set the status before saving:

  • Draft — saved but hidden from customers. Use this while you're still editing.
  • Active — live. Active routines are matched to new orders and shown to customers.

Click Save. You can reopen any routine to edit it, use Preview to see how it looks to a customer, or Delete it.

Only active routines reach customers. The home page flags any drafts still waiting to be published.
