Gift Studio

01 / Install as a draft

1. Back up your existing theme and obtain the theme installation ZIP for the intended version.
2. In Shopify admin, open Online Store → Themes → Add theme / Import theme → Upload ZIP. Keep the installation file compressed; do not upload a development archive.
3. Open the unpublished theme in the editor. Configure your logo, colors, fonts, navigation, homepage and actual product selections.

Theme files do not import products, collections, menus, apps, payments or shipping rules. Configure these separately in Shopify.

Gift Studio / Configuration priorities

1. Assign personalized or gift-message templates to the appropriate products.
2. Configure the Personalization block and check required fields.
3. Create actual Shopify gift-card products and test the recipient journey separately.

02 / Check before publishing

• Review homepage, collection, product, search and cart on mobile and desktop.
• Test variants, required personalization, quantity, totals and cart persistence.
• Check keyboard navigation, readable colors, image descriptions and working links.
• Verify your actual shipping, policies, apps and Shopify checkout journey before a store launch.

Updates & troubleshooting

Install updates as a new draft and keep your current theme as a backup. Review custom code and app blocks. If a section is empty, check product publication, selected collections, template assignment and market availability.
