Merchant guide · Version 1.0.0
From ZIP to storefront.
Install an unpublished theme, choose a release preset and connect real store content before launch.
1. Install and preview
- In Shopify, open Online Store → Themes and upload the supplied theme ZIP. Keep it unpublished while configuring it.
- Keep your live theme available as a fallback. Open the theme editor for the new theme and preview the home, product, collection, cart, content, search and password templates.
2. Choose Piéra or Émeraude
Choose the intended preset/style when the theme editor offers that control for the installed package. An uploaded ZIP may open with its packaged current configuration; do not assume the preset’s demo catalog or complete layout was imported.
Piéra is the fashion preset with Atelier Editorial design. Émeraude is the watch preset with an emerald, black and gold palette. If preset selection is unavailable, use the supplied preset package or ask the seller before manually rebuilding. Changing Design style changes styling, not the arranged page content.
3. Connect the store
- Create real products, variants, prices, inventory and media. Publish products to the Online Store.
- Create collections, pages, blogs and menus; assign appropriate templates.
- In each section choose the real product, collection or blog. Connect Header and Footer menus and Theme settings → Navigation → Default shop collection.
- Set fonts, color schemes, favicon, header logo and social links. Verify policies, shipping, taxes, payments and contact details in your store.
4. Replace every demo
Products, collections, menus, pages, reviews, policies and app settings are store data, separate from a theme ZIP. Demonstration prices, testimonials, dates and service promises are examples, not your policies.
- Replace hero, category, story, product, menu and signup imagery with licensed media of your own goods.
- Review every heading, caption, button, fact, review, countdown, badge and assurance.
- Test every selected resource and destination. Empty pickers may show a fallback or no content; select real resources.
- Translate your copy, check every market and run the launch checklist.
