Switch your theme style

Your theme

Each Spicydesign.ca theme can switch to the look of the others. Shopify calls this the Theme style, and you change it in Theme settings. Make a copy of your theme first, so you can compare.

  1. In your Shopify admin, select Online Store (marker 1).
  2. Select the three dots next to your theme, then select Duplicate.
  3. Find the copy under Draft themes. Select Edit theme on the copy. It looks like marker 2.
Shopify admin, Online Store, Themes page. Marker 1 is the Online Store menu item. Marker 2 is the Edit theme button for the live theme.
