Migrate your theme

Moving from one theme to another might feel like starting from scratch, but it doesn't have to! We'll cover what you need to know about changing themes, and how you can approach setting up your theme to make it more efficient.

What do I need to transfer?

Content and settings that were set up in the theme editor cannot be transferred automatically. You will need to set up sections for each template and apply new theme settings.

Before you start

To get started, open the editor for both the old and new theme.

Set up Stiletto

To make setting up your theme easier, start by just adding sections and content before focusing on specific settings and styles.

We recommend following the order below to set up your theme:

Add sections

Add and rearrange the section you want to use. You can check out the full list of Stiletto's theme sections.

We recommend hiding sections instead of deleting them. Not only will this be faster but you can avoid making mistakes that you can't undo.

Add text

With your two windows side-by-side, select and copy text from your previous theme and paste theme into the corresponding fields.

Add images and videos

Any images that you've uploaded to your old theme will still be in your Shopify files. Click (+) Add image, you can find them all in the media library.

Edit theme styles

After adding your content, you can apply global styles, such as colors and fonts, then follow up by fine-tuning styles for individual sections.

Go to Theme settings in your theme editors. You can select a preset theme style, or set up your own custom branding, including colors and fonts.

You will also find additional settings for products, the cart, and more. You can find a full overview in the theme settings guide.

Quick tips

Edit section styles

After customizing the theme settings, go back to your updated page templates to customize your sections. You can find a full list and set up instructions in the Theme sections guide.

Set up apps

You may need to re-add apps and app blocks in the theme editor. Be sure to explore all theme features to see if what you want is already included in Eclipse.

Our support cannot cover app integration or fixing issues arising from apps. Please contact the app developer for help.

Configure custom code

If your previous theme has code customizations, they need to be manually transferred to the new theme. Custom code is often theme-specific and may not work by pasting code as-is.

Our support cannot cover custom code or issues arising from customizations. If you need help from a developer, we recommend reaching out to a verified Fluorescent partner.

• If you're familiar with adding code, you can use Custom CSS in the theme editor. It's more stable and you don't need to manually transfer it for theme updates.

Explore new features

Check out the sidebar or use the search to find features that are unique to Stiletto. You may want to start with Sections, Theme settings, Product pages, and Collection pages.
