Help Needed: Guidance on Shopify Theme Development & Listing Process

Shopify Discussion

Hi Experts,

I am exploring building a Shopify theme and listing it on the Shopify Theme Store. I’d love to get your insights on the following questions:

  1. Listing Fees:

    • Is there a listing fee for submitting themes to the Shopify Theme Store?
    • If yes, is it a one-time fee or an annual charge?

  2. Getting Started:

    • Should I start from scratch when building the theme, or can I customize a free theme like Dawn as a base?
    • Are there specific guidelines for using free themes as a starting point?

  3. Dummy Content Rules:

    • What are the rules or best practices for using dummy content in a theme submission?

  4. Theme Review Process:

    • If the review process highlights required updates, how much time is provided to resolve them?
    • What steps should I take if the theme gets completely rejected?

Any tips or resources for successfully developing and listing a theme on the Shopify Theme Store would also be greatly appreciated!
