<p>I installed Craft Commerce 2 and the templates are in vendor/craftcms/commerce/templates/shop. Is it safe to move these to my craft templates folder like this? </p>

<pre><code>├── storage
...
│   └── runtime
├── templates
│   └── shop
├── vendor
</code></pre>

<p>Or are they where they are for a reason?</p>

<p>I don't really like the idea of drilling down into the vendor plugin directories to make changes, especially if they can be overwritten by composer during an update.</p>

<p>I don't want to introduce future problems.</p>

You can copy them into your `templates` folder if you want to use them as a starting point.
