How to install a theme.

Five steps in Shopify admin. Nothing changes on your live store until the last one.

§ 1

How to install

  1. 1

    Download the theme file

    Your theme arrives as a single .zip file. Keep it zipped. Shopify reads it as it is.

  2. 2

    Open your themes

    In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.

  3. 3

    Upload the zip

    Choose Add theme → Upload zip file and pick the file. It lands as a draft, so your live store does not change.

  4. 4

    Preview and customize

    Click Customize to add your logo, colours, products and pages. Use Preview to check it on desktop and phone.

  5. 5

    Publish

    Open the theme’s … menu and choose Publish. Your previous theme stays in the library if you want it back.

Before you publishUse … → Duplicate on your current live theme, so you always have a backup.

Want us to do it
