The package received after purchase contains the theme ZIP file that can be uploaded to the Shopify system, as well as the guides and additional files provided with the product. Before uploading, check the file name and version.
01
Installation Guide
Theme documentation and installation.
From download to publication, we guide you through secure installation, content setup, and pre-launch checks.
02
Make a backup
If you are working on an existing webshop, make a copy of the current theme version before installation. Always configure new theme settings in preview mode so that the live webshop remains unchanged during development.
03
Select the installable ZIP file
If the downloaded product package contains multiple files, first unpack the product package, then locate the Shopify installation ZIP file within it. Do not unpack the installation ZIP file itself before uploading.
04
Upload the theme file
In your Shopify admin, open Online Store and Themes, then select Add new theme and Upload ZIP file. The names of the Shopify interface elements may change over time, but the upload can always be started from the theme directory.
05
Preview and initial setup
Do not publish the uploaded theme variant immediately. Open it in preview mode, check the header, footer, home page, product page, collections, and cart.
06
Global presence
Set up the logo, colors, fonts, buttons, and general spacing. Finalize the global settings first, and only then refine the appearance of individual sections.
07
Page and section structure
Assign the appropriate templates to the pages, then upload the texts, images, and videos. Disable empty or not yet finalized sections until their content is ready.
08
Products, collections and menus
Check that products appear in the correct collections, product cards lead to the correct page, and navigation menus link to functional pages and collections.
09
Testing before publishing
Review the webshop on desktop and mobile. Test the navigation, product variants, shopping cart, discounts, forms, and the path to payment. For digital products, place a test order to verify delivery.
010
Publishing and subsequent update
Only publish the new theme version after a complete check. Before any subsequent updates, create a copy of the live theme version and note down any custom code modifications, as these will need to be separately migrated to a new version.
011
If you need assistance
