You can control which pages and types of pages your custom CSS will appear on by selecting the appropriate tab. Your options include: All Pages, Home, Product Listing, Product Details, Cart / Checkout, and User Account.

Please note that before diving into using custom code through the webstore, we highly suggest that you have at least some previous coding knowledge before attempting any changes.
