Installing and publishing a theme

Merchant

Upload the theme package, preview it safely, then publish when you're ready.

  1. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
  2. Under Theme library, click Add theme → Upload zip file and choose your theme package.
  3. Click Customize to set it up - this does NOT affect your live store yet.
  4. Use Preview to review on desktop and mobile.
  5. When ready, click Publish to make it live.
warning

Always customise on an unpublished copy first. Publishing swaps your live theme instantly.
