BUying a template. question on product listing style rows columns

I'm buying a template off template monster and wondering if the way the products display in rows and columns in grid form is a setting in the cart or is it how the template is designed? I've read posts here in the forum that the setting is in categories but I'm just making sure before I spend $140 on a template.

Attached pictures.
The template comes like this:

But I want it to display like this 3 columns and as many rows as it need.

Can this be configured in the cart settings or have to modify the template somehow?

Thanks :)

You take your chances when you purchase from TemplateMonster as their templates are customized and do not always work properly with Zen Cart; no matter what version is used.

With that said, you will have to customize your template further to achieve the layout you want. There is a module, Column Divider Pro, which would get you most of the way there but not sure if the module will work with a template from TemplateMonster.
