Getting started
Install the theme
Add Faubourg to your theme library, preview it, then publish it.
On this page
Installing a theme doesn't change your live store: Faubourg is added to your theme library, where you can set it up at your own pace. Customers only see it once you publish it.
Before you start
- You need an account with permission to manage themes (the store owner, or a staff member with Themes access).
- Your theme library holds a limited number of themes. If Shopify says you've reached the limit, delete a theme you no longer use.
- Have your logo, a few photographs, and your menus ready: setup will go faster.
Add Faubourg to your store
From the Shopify Theme Store
Open the theme listing
In the Theme Store, open Faubourg's listing. The theme comes in one style, Faubourg, which is only a starting point: you can change fonts, letter case, and control shape at any time. See Theme style.
Try or buy the theme
Click Try theme to add it to your library for free and set it up before you buy, or click Buy theme.
Find it in your library
From your Shopify admin, go to Online StoreThemes. Faubourg appears under Draft themes.
From a .zip file
If you received Faubourg as a .zip file, make sure it's a copy provided for the store that holds its license: a Theme Store theme is licensed to one store, and only a copy installed from the Theme Store receives updates (see Updating Faubourg). To install it:
Open the themes page
From your Shopify admin, go to Online StoreThemes.
Upload the file
Click Import, then Upload zip file, and select the file. Don't unzip the archive.
Wait for the upload to finish
The theme appears under Draft themes after a few moments.
Preview and set up
Under Draft themes, click Edit theme next to Faubourg to open the theme editor. You can also open the … menu and choose Preview to browse your store with Faubourg without changing anything.
Publish the theme
When you're happy with your store:
Check your store
Browse the home page, a collection, a product page, the cart, and search, on both desktop and phone. The checklist helps you cover everything.
Publish
In Online StoreThemes, click Publish next to Faubourg. Your previously published theme goes back to the library untouched, so you can switch back at any time.
Make a backup copy
Before any major change — and always before touching the code — duplicate the theme: open the … menu and choose Duplicate. The copy keeps all your settings and content and lets you return to the previous state. You can also choose Download theme file from the same menu: Shopify emails it to you.
