Start from a theme, change it in a visual editor with a live preview, and publish when it looks right. Shoppers browse your products, choose a size or colour, and pay through your own payment gateway or with cash on delivery.
Sample data — your store, your numbers
Browse the Theme Store and open any theme in preview. The preview shows the theme with your real products and collections, so you see how your store would look before a shopper does.
Themes are written in Liquid, the template language Shopify themes use. An imported .zip needs layout/theme.liquid plus sections, templates and config folders.
Sample data
The editor shows each page as its header group, its own sections and its footer group. Pick a section, change its text, images or colours, and the preview updates before you save. Your live store only changes when you press Save.
Want to go further? Edit code opens the theme’s Liquid, JSON, CSS and JavaScript files in the browser, and changes are saved into your own copy of the theme.
Sample data
Shoppers go through contact, delivery, delivery method and payment on one page. Shipping, discounts and tax are priced from your own settings, and the summary shows the same total the order is created with.
