Can I Resell Shopify Theme?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:03 pm

It’s no secret that Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms on the market. And, it’s also no secret that many Shopify store owners are always looking for ways to improve their stores.

One way to do this is by purchasing new Shopify themes. But, what many store owners don’t know is whether or not they can resell Shopify themes.

The answer to this question is a bit complicated. Technically, Shopify themes are licensed for a single use only.

PRO TIP: If you are considering reselling a Shopify theme, be aware that this is against Shopify’s terms of service. Reselling a Shopify theme may result in your Shopify account being suspended or terminated.

This means that you can’t legally resell them. However, there are some loopholes that you can exploit to resell your themes.

The first loophole is to create a new account and then sell your theme through that account. This is perfectly legal and many store owners have done this successfully.

The second loophole is to find someone who is willing to buy your theme and then give them access to your Shopify account. This way, they can use your theme on their own store and you can still get rid of it.

Of course, these loopholes are not foolproof and there is always the chance that Shopify could shut them down. However, as long as you are careful and only sell to trusted individuals, you should be fine. So, if you’re looking to improve your Shopify store by purchasing new themes, don’t be afraid to try and resell them!
