How Do I Upload a Theme to Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:50 pm

There are two ways to upload a theme to Shopify. The first is through the Shopify Theme Store, and the second is through the Upload Theme button in your Shopify admin.

Shopify Theme Store

If you want to upload a theme from the Shopify Theme Store, simply click on the Upload Theme button from your Shopify admin. This will open up the Shopify Theme Store in a new tab, where you can browse through the available themes.

PRO TIP: If you’re looking for help on uploading a theme to Shopify, beware of online resources that may be outdated or inaccurate. While the process for doing so has remained largely unchanged over the years, there have been a few minor tweaks that could trip you up if you’re following outdated instructions. As always, if you need help, reach out to Shopify’s support team for assistance.

Once you’ve found a theme that you like, click on the Add to Cart button and then checkout. Your theme will be uploaded to your shop automatically.

Uploading a theme from your computer

If you want to upload a theme that you have downloaded from another source, such as a friend or a third-party website, click on the Upload Theme button from your Shopify admin. This will open up a new window where you can select the theme file from your computer. Once you’ve selected the file, click on the Upload button and your theme will be uploaded to your shop.
