How Do I Install Free Themes on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:13 pm

Installing free themes on Shopify is a simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes. There are two ways to install free themes on Shopify: through the Shopify Theme Store, or by uploading a theme file from another source.

Installing a theme from the Shopify Theme Store is the easiest way to get started with a new theme. To do this, simply log in to your Shopify account, go to the ‘Themes’ section of your admin panel, and click ‘Visit the Theme Store.’

From there, you can browse through the available themes and preview them on your store. When you find a theme that you like, click ‘Install’ and follow the prompts to complete the installation process.

PRO TIP: If you are installing a free theme on your Shopify store, please be aware that there is no guarantee that the theme will work with your current Shopify version or with future Shopify updates. We recommend that you always keep a backup of your current theme before installing any new themes.

If you want to install a theme from another source, such as a third-party theme developer, you can do so by downloading the theme file and then uploading it to your Shopify account. To do this, log in to your Shopify account, go to the ‘Themes’ section of your admin panel, and click ‘Upload Theme.’

From there, click ‘Choose File’ and select the downloaded theme file. Once the file has been uploaded, click ‘Publish’ to make the theme live on your store.

Both of these methods are quick and easy ways to install free themes on Shopify. If you’re not sure which method is right for you, we recommend trying out a few different themes from the Shopify Theme Store until you find one that you’re happy with.
