As I have written in the title; I can’t change my Shopify theme even though I just bought a retail plan. Can someone help me with it, please? Can’t really use Shopify if I can’t choose the template I want.

I am posting a screenshot of how this thing looks. Thanks..

Hi @Alink these are public forums no one can intervene on a stores account through forums.

This applies to pretty much every online platform.
