#### Buy and publish

hen you're ready to publish, go to your theme library and click **Buy** on your theme trial version. You can only [publish themes](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/managing-themes/publishing-themes) to your online store that you've purchased.

**Licensed themes are purchased exclusively through the Shopify Theme Store.** Unlicensed themes are not supported. If you downloaded the theme from another vendor or plan to use the theme on another store, you need to take immediate action to purchase a legal licensed version.
