Theme Updater App

Why use an app?
Shopify does not currently provide an easy way to update premium themes. The current process requires you to manually upload a new .zip file and reconfigure all of your settings, including colors, fonts, images, etc.

The Theme Updater App facilitates the update process by providing a quick and easy way to upgrade your Out of the Sandbox or Pixel Union theme, without losing any of your configured theme settings -- a big time saver! In many cases, the app can also carry over simple changes that have been made directly to the theme code. 

Which themes will it work with?
All Out of the Sandbox and most Pixel Union section-based themes are supported.*



Will it transfer ALL my custom code changes?
The Theme Updater App will transfer over all shop settings that have been configured through the Theme Editor. It will also attempt to transfer over any tweaks or changes that have been made directly to the code. However if you or your developer have made extensive or complex customizations to the theme files themselves, then these will still need to be manually transferred to the updated theme.


How does the app work? 
Please consult our Theme Updater App FAQs for step-by-step instructions on how to use the app to update your theme.

*For Out of the Sandbox themes this includes: Parallax 3.0+, Retina 4.0+, Mobilia 5.0+, Responsive 6.0+, Turbo 2.0+, Artisan 1.0+, and Flex 1.0+. For Pixel Union themes this includes: Atlantic 10.0+, Empire 1.0+, Grid 2.0+, Handy 1.0+, Launch 2.0+, Pacific 2.0+, Reach 1.0+, Startup 7.0+, Vogue 1.0+, Editions 9.5.0+, and Superstore 1.0+. 

One Year Free with Theme Purchase!

When you purchase a theme from Out of the Sandbox or Pixel Union, you will automatically receive 1 year of free updating via the Theme Updater App Basic Plan, starting on the date you first register your theme. Before or after your free trial expires, you can select a subscription plan if you wish to continue using the app to facilitate your theme updates and take advantage of exclusive features.

After the first year, if you do not wish to continue using the app for updates and have not selected a subscription plan, your plan will automatically be cancelled and you will not be charged. Any new releases of your theme will continue to be free forever, but you will then need to go back to updating them manually, without the assistance of the Theme Updater App.
