Install guide
Buy, download, publish
One payment on Lemon Squeezy, one licence key, one ZIP that Shopify takes straight from its admin. Three steps, and none of them needs an account here.
- 01
Buy the theme
Open the theme's page in the catalog and press Buy now. Checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy -- card or PayPal, in your own currency -- and there is no cart to fill, because one checkout is one theme.
- One-time payment, no subscription
- Lifetime updates on the same key
- The receipt email carries the licence key
- 02
Download the ZIP
The licence key is the download. Lemon Squeezy owns key generation and emails the key with your order, so the file can never be lost to a bounced email -- and the same key works years later.
- Find the key: the Lemon Squeezy receipt, orMy orders signed in with the address you bought with.
- Paste it into Access a theme and pressDownload theme.
- The key is checked twice -- once when the page verifies it, once as the ZIP streams -- and you get the current version, not the one that was live on the day you bought.
Keep the key. It is the download link, the update link and the only credential the store asks for.
- 03
Upload it to Shopify
Shopify installs a theme by upload, so the ZIP goes in exactly as it came out of the download -- leave the archive zipped.
- In your Shopify admin, open Online Store → Themes.
- Choose Add theme → Upload zip file.
- Pick the ZIP you downloaded. Shopify unpacks it and files the theme in your theme library, unpublished.
- Press Preview and click through your own products and collections.
- Happy with it? Publish puts it on your storefront.
Publishing swaps the storefront template and nothing else -- your products, collections, pages and orders stay where they are. The demo stores behind the previews are our own, not part of the download.
Shopify's own upload guide
After it's live
The key keeps working once the theme is on your store.
Updates on the same key
Come back to Access a theme whenever we cut a release -- the download is always the current version.
Customise in place
Sections, colours and fonts are editable in Shopify's theme editor, so two stores rarely end up alike.
Review the theme
The key that downloads a theme is also the key that posts a review on its page.

When something doesn't line up
The four we get asked most, answered.
The key never arrived
Lemon Squeezy mints the key and emails it with the receipt, so check the spam folder first, then sign in at app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders with the address you paid with. If neither has it, email us the order number and we'll look it up.
Shopify won't accept the file
Two causes cover almost every case: the upload has a 50 MB ceiling, and the archive has to be the one you downloaded. Unzipping it and re-zipping a parent folder buries the theme a level too deep for Shopify to recognise.
Can I look at it before it goes live?
Uploading never publishes. The theme lands in your theme library as unpublished, so you can preview it against your own products and publish when you're ready -- your current theme keeps serving the store until then.
Will it run on my store?
Every theme here is built for Shopify's Online Store 2.0 storefront, which any plan that includes the Online Store channel has. Each theme's page lists its own compatibility.
Still stuck? Email support@themivo.com with the order number and the theme's name.
Ready when you are
One payment, one key, one ZIP — and the same key keeps the theme current.
