What’s in the MockFlow's Shopify Polaris UI Kit

The MockFlow Shopify Polaris UI Kit is categorized into various sections to cover the entire spectrum of Shopify website design components.

Buttons & Navigation

The UI Kit includes a variety of button styles (e.g., primary, destructive, slim, split, and loading) and navigation components (e.g., tab bars, header menus, pagination, and footers) to create intuitive and consistent interfaces. These components are designed to handle diverse interactions and streamline navigation, ensuring alignment with Polaris's principles of accessibility, usability, and merchant-focused design.

Cards

A variety of card-based components for structuring content and presenting information effectively is also included in this UI kit. These include standard cards, callout cards for highlighting key actions or alerts, and empty state layouts for guiding users when no data is available. The kit also offers multiple layout options (e.g., one, two, or three-column layouts) for organizing information efficiently. Legacy cards with annotations or metadata, as well as media cards for showcasing images and videos, provide versatile ways to display content. These components align with Polaris's focus on clarity and usability, ensuring professional and cohesive designs.

Filters & Page Actions

The kit provides filter components, such as index filters, disabled state filters, and data-integrated filters, to help designers create intuitive data management interfaces. It also includes page action layouts, like default pages, custom toolbars, divider-based layouts, and external link options, to support diverse page functionality. These components enable designers to build polished and user-friendly interfaces.

Form Elements

Lists, Banners & modals

Organizing content becomes so much easier with the UI Kit’s pre-designed list components. Whether you’re working with choice lists, action lists, or description lists, these components help you structure your UI efficiently while maintaining consistency with Shopify’s design system. Options like bullet lists or numbered lists are perfect for presenting information clearly, and interactive list boxes save time when dealing with multiple selections.

When it comes to drawing attention to important messages, the kit’s ready-made banners—available in critical, success, info, and warning styles—are a great solution. They allow you to focus on the content without spending time designing them from scratch, ensuring clarity and visual alignment.

For focused user tasks like forms or confirmations, pre-designed modals streamline the process. Whether it’s a default modal or a smaller, compact version, these components are polished and functional, making it simple to incorporate clean, Shopify-aligned interactions into your designs.

Other Elements

These include links (default, monochrome, and with actions) for seamless navigation, as well as toast notifications for quick feedback—whether it's a success message, an error, or a prompt to undo an action. Footers and fullscreen bars are also ready-made to guide users or emphasize key information in your designs.

For managing resources or datasets, components like resource items, data tables (with or without row actions), and pagination make organizing and presenting large amounts of information intuitive and visually consistent.

Skeleton loaders, like skeleton tabs, pages, or body text, are perfect for wireframing loading states in your designs. They give you a quick way to visualize how content placeholders will appear while keeping the flow of your UI intact. These components help you design for real-world scenarios without starting from scratch.
