Installing a Shopify theme is the first step to creating a stunning online store that reflects your brand. At Studio Kinde, we know how exciting—but sometimes overwhelming—this process can feel, especially if you’re just starting out. That’s why we not only offer beautifully designed Shopify templates but also provide a Theme Install Service. With this service, we’ll install your template within 24 hours, allowing you to start customizing and making it your own as soon as possible!

But if you’re ready to dive in and do it yourself, here’s a step-by-step guide to installing a Shopify theme file.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

• A Shopify account with an active store.
• Your Shopify theme file (a .zip file) downloaded and ready to upload.

If you’ve just purchased a Studio Kinde theme, you’ll receive a .zip file containing everything you need to get started.

Step-by-Step Guide to Upload Your Shopify Theme

1. Log in to Your Shopify Admin

Go to Shopify and log in to your account. You’ll be taken to your Shopify admin dashboard.

2. Navigate to Online Store > Themes

In the left-hand menu, click on Online Store. From there, select Themes. This is where you’ll manage your current theme and upload new ones.

3. Click “Add Theme”

In the Themes section, you’ll see a button labeled Add Theme (or “Upload zip file”). Click it to open the theme upload interface.

4. Upload Your Theme File

A pop-up will appear, prompting you to upload your theme file. Click Choose File, locate the .zip file for your theme, and upload it. Once the file is selected, click Upload File to begin the installation process.

5. Publish Your Theme

Once the upload is complete, your new theme will appear in the Theme Library section.

• To activate the theme, click Actions next to your theme and select Publish.
• Shopify will confirm that you want to replace your current theme with the new one—click Publish to proceed.

Customizing Your Theme

After publishing, it’s time to make the theme your own!

1. Go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize next to your active theme.
2. Use the Shopify Theme Editor to adjust fonts, colors, layouts, and images.
