Vintage themes

A theme controls the layout, features, and style of your online store. Learn how to determine your theme's architecture version to confirm that you're using a vintage Shopify theme before proceeding with any customization that uses code.
Online Store 2.0 themes receive updates and can be manually updated to the latest theme version. These themes have the most up to date customizations built into them. Explore Online Store 2.0 theme customizations.
