Squirrelcart uses template files to allow you to customize the appearance of your store. Each template file controls a certain aspect of the store. For example, the "show_product.php" template controls the appearance of a single product, when a customer clicks on it's category. Template files are stored within theme folders, and are one of the main components that make up a theme. The theme named "Squirrelcart" is considered the master theme. It's corresponding folder is in "squirrelcart/themes/squirrelcart". When Squirrelcart needs a template file, it first looks in your default theme folder for it. If it does not find the template file in that folder, it then uses the one in the master theme folder.
