How to test new theme from existing theme including APPS, Code before publishing

we have existing live site and purchased new theme.

there were apps and code change in existing site.

is there any testing environment for new site including existing APP or changed code ?

so, i can go live before testing all components we have now.

Thanks in advance,

Hi there @hbottari !

I’d like to share some info with you here on what would and would not be possible in terms of testing a new theme before purchase.

Check out our help doc here first on adding, previewing, and buying themes to get some more info on how this all works.

You mentioned here you had already purchased the theme you want to customise before going live, is that correct?

If so, you can find and customise any of your store’s themes in the Online store > Themes menu in your admin.

Just head there first and scroll down the screen to see themes other than your store’s live theme, where you can click in to customise these themes or edit the code (actions > edit code) of that theme.

Check out our guide to customising themes here on our help site for more info.

It’s always a good idea to duplicate your theme before starting out with making edits, so you have an unedited, ‘safe’ copy to fall back on.

Check this out yourself and see if you can access and edit that new theme without publishing it live to your store.

Can you tell me a bit more about your store and products generally?

Are you looking to move themes for a specific business requirement, or just searching for a new look for your store?
