I bought the starter plan and after that, my theme changed and i can’t change it back to my old one because all it says is “Manage branding” and “Preview”. HELP!
Hi Ryolt!
It sounds like you were on a trial plan which includes the option to use a theme and build a branded storefront. When you select the starter plan, this is a simplified version of the basic plan which doesn’t include the use of a themed storefront - just a simple one in order to show your products.
You can learn more about the starter plan here as well as a more in-depth explanation here.
The starter plan is a fantastic and low-cost option for social sellers and merchants who don’t yet need the use of a whole storefront. If themed storefront is what you need you can upgrade to the basic plan to regain access to the theme editor.
Here are the steps to upgrading:
-
Log in to your store. From your Shopify admin, click Settings, and then click Plan.
-
Click Change plan.
-
Review the currently available plans, and then click Choose plan.
-
Select a billing cycle and read the description of the credit card charges that you’re agreeing to.
-
Click Start Plan to accept the new agreement, or click Cancel.
Hope that helps! I’d love to learn more about the business you’re setting up and help offer any guidance. Are you running into any other pain points? What are some of your marketing strategies once you launch?
When you get a chance, have a look at these checklists, as they’re a fantastic resource for merchants getting started. You can feel confident as you go that you aren’t missing any crucial steps.
Let me know if there is anything further I can do to help and congratulations on your Shopify store!
