Quick answers about your Shopify theme: styles, updates, fonts, colors, animations, languages, subscriptions, speed and how to get support.


Most changes in your theme are settings in the theme editor, so you rarely need code. Find your question below.

## Basics

### What themes are there?

There are three themes: Picante (hot sauce), Overdrive (streetwear) and Pastille (skincare). Each one starts with its own fonts, colors and motion. You pick one when you install, then change anything you like. See [Switch your theme style](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/getting-started/choose-a-style/).

### Will theme updates erase my changes?

No. Your live theme stays as it is until you choose to update. Changes you make in the theme editor stay with that theme. Edits to the theme code do not carry over, so duplicate your theme first. See [Update the theme](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/getting-started/update-the-theme/).

### Can I use my theme on more than one store?

Each license covers one store. For a second store, you need a second license.

### Why does my store look different from the demo?

Demo stores use their own products, photos and text. Your theme does not include them. Sections show sample content until you add your own. Work through the [launch checklist](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/getting-started/launch-checklist/).

## Design

### How do I add a section to a page?

In the theme editor, pick the page at the top. Click **Add section** in the left sidebar, then choose a section. Drag it where you want it. See [Edit your homepage](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/edit-your-homepage/).

### How do I change the fonts?

Open **Theme settings**, then **Typography**. Pick a font for headings, accents and body text. See [Change fonts](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/change-fonts/).

### How do I change the colors?

Open **Theme settings**, then **Colors**. Edit the five color schemes. Each section chooses one of them. See [Change colors](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/change-colors/).

### How do I make the header sticky or transparent?

Click **Header** in the editor. Use **Sticky behavior** to choose when it stays in view. Use **Home page style** to make it float over your first section.

### How do I turn off animations?

Open **Theme settings**, then **Motion**, and set **Motion level** to None. Visitors who turned off motion on their device never see animations. See [Animation](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/animation/).

### How do I remove the intro screen?

It is off by default. If you see it, open **Theme settings**, then **Motion**, and turn off **Intro screen on first visit**.

### Can I add my own styling?

Yes. Theme settings has a **Custom CSS** box for small design changes. Use the normal settings first. Support does not cover code changes. See [Add your own styling](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/add-custom-css/).

## Selling

### Which languages do the themes support?

Your theme includes English and French for the words shoppers see. Text you type yourself needs a translation app. See [Languages and markets](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/languages-and-markets/).

### Do the themes work with Shopify Subscriptions?

Yes. Set up your plans in the Shopify Subscriptions app. Your theme then shows a purchase options choice on those products. See [Subscriptions](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/guides/subscriptions/).

### Do the themes work with apps?

Yes, and your theme does not block apps. We cannot test every app, and support does not cover app problems. See [Fix a problem](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/faq/troubleshooting/).
