Online store

This page was printed on Oct 22, 2019. For the current version, visit https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/customization/store.

You can make site-wide customizations to your store, including changes to your typography, modifications to your site header or footer, and the addition of features that appear on many or all pages, such as a security badge, or a back-to-the-top button.

Before you edit your theme code

Before you edit your theme code, it's a good idea to do the following tasks:

  • Check the settings for your theme in the theme editor. If there's a setting for the change that you want to make, then you don't need to edit your theme code.
  • Duplicate your theme to create a backup copy. This makes it easy to discard your changes and start again if you need to.
  • Make sure that you understand what level of support is available.
