Limitations

⚠ All theme purchases include lifetime support! The level of support we can offer, however, is limited for versions that are more than a year old, and very limited for vintage versions of themes (pre-OS2). Upgrading to the latest version is always recommended and may be required in order for us to provide technical support.
⚠ When you buy a theme from the Shopify Theme Store, that theme is licensed only to the store that you originally buy it for. Please also note that per Shopify’s Terms of Service, unlicensed themes aren’t eligible for support or updates when new features are released.
⚠ If you want to transfer a theme license to another store, please contact Shopify Support's billing department for assistance.
⚠ Sending multiple tickets for the same issue will result in your ticket being moved to the bottom of the queue, which could result in a delayed response. Please send only one ticket and follow up with our team if you haven’t received a response within 2 business days.
⚠ Support is provided in English, however if a ticket is submitted in another language we will attempt to use a translation tool to respond.
⚠ Inappropriate or discriminatory language will result a termination of support services.

Theme Updates

You can update your theme version through the Theme Store as long as you or an installed app haven't made any code changes to your theme. If you’ve made changes to your theme through code changes or apps, please see our Help Centre for instructions on how to update your theme version manually.

Bug Fixes

We are committed to fixing theme bugs as quickly as possible. Our team will provide you with a fix where possible, and a proper solution will be provided in order of priority and according to our development schedule. Please refer to the Changelog for your specific theme (available in our Help Centre) to see when an update is available.

Apps

Due to both the complexity and sheer volume of third-party apps available, we cannot guarantee compatibility of all apps with our themes. The app developer should be your first point of contact if you’re experiencing issues with functionality, as they will be most familiar with how the code that controls the app works.

We also advise using caution when installing apps into your store. Many apps will inject code into your theme that may remain even if you’ve deleted the app from your store, which could cause future compatibility issues. If you’re experiencing issues with app code in your theme, you’ll need to speak with a developer who can fix this for you.
