<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow, the most important part we will discuss in this post is how to change themes on Shopify. Well, there are several methods to do that, and it depends on the type of theme you want to use. Thus, you will probably use one of these methods<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nUpload a Zip File or Connect from GitHub<\/li>\n\n\n\n Buy a Premium Theme From Shopify<\/li>\n\n\n\n Change the Current Theme with a Free Shopify Theme<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nHowever, before changing anything here’s some friendly ADVICE<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlways consider making a backup of your store content<\/strong>. So, I recommend you back to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nProducts<\/li>\n\n\n\n Orders<\/li>\n\n\n\n Customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n Theme files<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThankfully, Shopify has made it easy for dropshippers to manage and maintain their online stores with the help of backend pages equipped with Export buttons. These Export buttons are a lifesaver, allowing you to save and download important data, such as product details, theme files, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get started, focus on the backend areas of your Shopify store<\/strong>. For instance, the Products page is an excellent place to start. Simply click the Export button<\/strong>, and voila! You can download a CSV file with all the product details you need. Also, you can do the same for customers, and other content as well.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlso, you can do this another way. Thus, to download your theme files, go to Online Store > Themes.<\/strong> Look for the Current Theme section and open the Actions dropdown menu<\/strong>. From there, choose Download Theme File<\/strong> to save the theme’s entire collection of site files to your computer.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, let’s start with each of the methods on how to change themes on Shopify.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>1. Upload a Zip File or Connect from GitHub<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are dropshippiers that want to use third-party themes<\/strong> for their dropshipping store. And, if you are one of them, this is for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, these themes often come with downloadable Zip files<\/strong> that you can easily upload to Shopify. Additionally, you can find free or premium themes on GitHub, and you can connect them to Shopify.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegardless of where you source your theme files, Shopify has made it simple to upload them with just a few clicks. To begin, go to your Shopify dashboard<\/strong>. Next, click on Online Store > Themes<\/strong>.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nNext, you’ll see the current theme installed at the top, along with the Theme Library section at the bottom. So, what you need to do is scroll down a little bit, and find the section “add theme”. So, click <\/strong>the Add Theme dropdown button<\/strong> to reveal two options: Upload Zip File and Connect from GitHub.<\/strong>\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nFurther, if you have the theme file saved on your PC, select Upload Zip File<\/strong>. This will open a pop-up window where you can click the Add File link to find the file on your computer. This way you can upload theme to Shopify.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, once you locate the file, select the Upload File button <\/strong>to add the new theme to your dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, if you find a theme you like on GitHub<\/strong>, select “Connect from GitHub<\/strong>” to connect the storage to your Shopify account. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis option allows you to keep the theme files updated automatically and keep track of version history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>2. Buy a Premium Theme From Shopify<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe second method for how to change themes on Shopify is for dropshippers that want to use paid Shopify themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, from your Shopify dashboard, you navigate to Online Stores> Themes. Then, you scroll down and find the “Themes Library” section.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you click on the “ Add Theme” button<\/strong>, this time you choose the “Visit Theme Store”<\/strong> option.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nNext, you will be led to Shopify themes<\/strong>. Here, you can sort them based on category, price, popularity, etc.\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\nSecondly, once you choose your theme, you click on it, and then click on the “Try Theme” <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFurthermore, as you click on the ” Try theme” button, you will be led to the Shopify dashboard > Themes Library.<\/strong> Here, you will see the theme you chose. So, you have two buttons: “Buy<\/strong>” and “Customize<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, in order to modify the theme <\/strong>as you see fit, click on “Customize<\/strong>“. Here you can make any changes you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, keep in mind that any changes you make using this button won’t be saved unless you buy the theme using the Buy Theme button.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, once you decide to buy the theme, you should provide the necessary payment information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, once you purchase a new theme, it’s essential to activate it as your primary theme<\/strong> to ensure that all customizations get saved on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis step is crucial <\/strong>as it ensures that any changes you make to the website’s design and functionality are maintained, even after you log out of the backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, it’s important to<\/em><\/strong> note <\/em><\/strong>that activating a new theme may cause some of your homepage content to disappear. But, this doesn’t mean that you’ve lost any of your content. And, that’s why is it a good idea to keep a backup of your website’s content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
