A plain list of what your Shopify theme does not include or change, such as checkout, reviews, wishlists and custom code support.


Your theme controls how your storefront looks. It does not change checkout, add apps or fix custom code.

## Your theme does not

- Change checkout. Checkout is Shopify's own.
- Build its own account pages. The header uses Shopify's sign-in.
- Manage products, prices, shipping or taxes. Those come from your Shopify admin.
- Collect product reviews. It shows star ratings from a reviews app.
- Create subscription plans. It shows plans from an app like Shopify Subscriptions.
- Choose complementary products. You pick them in the Search & Discovery app.
- Translate beyond English and French. Other languages need a translation app.
- Include a wishlist, back-in-stock alerts, size charts, a store locator, live chat or age check.
- Translate the theme editor. Its labels are in English only.
- Support custom code or app problems. See the [support policy](https://themes.spicydesign.ca/help/support/policy/).

> **Caution:** Duplicate your theme before you change code or add apps. A mistake can break your live store.
