Add a theme from the Theme store

The Theme store has ready-made themes from EcomWeb. You add a theme to your library to customize and preview it. Customers see nothing until you publish it.

Browse the themes in the Theme store

  1. In the sidebar, click Online Store.
  2. Scroll down to Theme store.

Each theme shows an image, a name, an author and a version number. The two themes you saw when you created your store are here too: Meridian and Orange, under the same names.

On a phone, tap the menu icon in the top left corner to open the sidebar.

Add a theme to your library

  1. On the theme you want, click Add.
  2. Wait for the confirmation message in the corner of the screen.

The new theme is in your Theme library, with a Ready-made label and a version number. It starts with the settings that match your current theme, such as the main menu. Nothing changes in your store.

Customize and publish the theme you just added

  1. On the theme’s row in the Theme library, click Customize.
  2. Change colors, images and menus in the left column. See Use the theme editor.
  3. Click Save in the top right corner.
  4. Click the arrow icon in the top left corner Exit to go back to the Online Store page.
  5. On the theme’s row, click Publish.
  6. In the Publish this theme? box, click Publish.

To learn how to preview and switch back to your old theme, see Choose and change your theme.

Add a theme when your library is full

Each plan allows a set number of themes. The number counts every theme in your store, including the current theme, copies and drafts. When you reach it, clicking Add tells you your store has reached its plan limit.

  1. In the Theme library, click the three dots at the end of the row of a theme you do not use.
  2. Select Delete.
  3. In the Delete this theme? box, click Delete.
  4. In the Theme store, click Add again.

To keep them all, upgrade your plan in Settings › Subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add the same theme twice?

Yes. Each time you add it, you get a separate theme in your library with its own settings. This is handy when you want to try two color or layout styles and pick one.

Why can't I see the Add button?

Only the store owner and admins can add themes. Staff can only view the Theme store.

Can I filter the Theme store by type of business?

Not yet. The Theme store shows every available theme on one page.
