Some important things to consider before contacting support

Please take a moment to read how we can help you:

Theme Settings and Features

We can help you with the settings and features within the Theme Editor like:

• Sections and Blocks in the Theme Editor

• Theme Settings like Colors, Typography, Button options, Layout

• Theme features like Siblings, Swatches, Header, Footer, Popups

• Helping with basic Custom CSS that you can add in the Theme Editor.

For anything theme-related, we will try and assist you with the features, suggestions, and tips on how to use the theme. Feel free to reach out to us if you feel there is an issue with our theme code that's not related to an app that's been installed or custom code added to your theme.

Shopify Platform

Many settings and features are performed in the primary Shopify Admin. These questions and assistance should be directed to Shopify Support directly. Examples are:

• Checkout issues

• Customer orders

• Managing inventory

• Setting up payment methods, currencies, languages

• Setting up your products and collections

• Taxes and shipping options

• Managing customer accounts

• Marketing, campaigns, gift cards

• Licenses including theme and apps

• Setting up discount codes

• Using the Search and Discovery app or Product Rating app

• Building your navigation and setting up Online Store preferences

These and more are all functions of the primary Shopify Admin. Shopify Support handles all of these platform-related questions.

Apps

When you experience an issue with the Theme that's caused by an App that's been installed, you will need to contact the App developers directly.

• This can include apps that break the functionality of the theme like prices not updating when changing a variant

• Items added to the cart not appearing in the cart or checkout

• Product images not changing

Please understand:

For all app-related issues or questions, Shopify's policy requires app developers to be responsible for ensuring compatibility with themes in the Theme Store. It's best if you reach out to each individual app developer when requiring assistance with their app, functionality, or conflicts.

We can only support the code we write which is the theme, Story. Integrations with apps are handled by app developers directly. Each app developer has their own support system in place and can help you with issues regarding their app.

Tips to help before installing any app:

• Make a duplicate of your current live theme.

• Rename the duplicate to help identify it.

This will allow you to fall back to a good working version of your theme if the app breaks any functionality. This can also help you avoid many hours of problem-solving and downtime for your store.

Customizations and Speed Performance

For any custom code requests or advanced theme customizations that require code changes, we recommend that you engage a Shopify Expert.
