Things to know before you update the theme:

The Logic of Updating a theme in Shopify platform:

  • Halo is the same as any other Shopify themes in Shopify platform. That is when a new update version released, it will be a core theme source, independent from the previous ones you are using. Thus, your changes on the previous versions will not be included in the update.

  • To update the theme to the latest version, you can follow our next instructions. We will guide you how to update theme and help you save your settings.

  • Any custom works/ customizations/ changes which are not available from theme core default will be lost and needs customization from the starting point.

Remember: The instructions below are applied to update the theme without losing default settings in Theme Editor (Not including the customization and app's code). All of custom work which was changed in our theme files will not be updated and have to be redone.

About the apps you installed, you might need to install them again. We recommend you contact the app provider to have support because we're not able to handle the app's code.

To know what has been updated for our theme, please go to .

Starting your update:

If your store is using from Halo 1.0.0 version and you would like to update to newest theme source to have all of new features or new layouts. Please follow below instruction:

We highly recommend you duplicate your current theme to avoid issues (if any) when updating the theme.

  4. You can repeat the process outlined above to convert all of the sections in your theme (Home Page, Collection Page,...).

  3. Go to the new theme source which you just installed into your site -> Edit Code -> Open this file index.json, delete and PASTE codes you just copied into this file.

  4. You can repeat the process outlined above to convert all of the sections in your theme (Home Page, Collection Page,...).
