How do themes work?

Themes are a collection of pages, styles, images, assets, and functionality that can be applied to your store to give it a different look and feel.

Applying themes

When you change themes, all of the theme pages and styles for your current theme are overwritten.

If you’ve done a bit of customization already, you may want to back them up first, just in case you want to go back to them later. Here’s how:

• Platinum or Diamond stores – use the Download My Theme link to get a zip file of all your current theme’s assets.
• Gold stores – copy and paste the code from the CSS view of the Design > Basics page into a new text file on your computer.

Reverting your theme

If you’d like to keep your same theme, but restore the default settings, simply click the Revert button and presto!

Creating your own theme

The default themes not cutting it for ya? No problem. If you’re a Platinum or Diamond store, you can Download one of our themes to get you started, or you can create your own theme from scratch using our powerful HTML and JavaScript APIs.

When you’re finished with your new theme, go into maintenance mode and update each of your theme pages with your new shiny code!

Additional images and assets

If your custom theme requires some additional files, you can upload them to your own server or 3rd-party file host and link to them in your store using their full URL.
