My question is regarding theme customization in basic plan

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Main issue: A store owner on the Starter plan cannot customize their theme and is considering upgrading to the Basic plan.

Key questions about the Basic plan:

  • Is full theme customization available?
  • Is the free Shopify theme “Dawn” available to use and customize with the Shopify Theme Editor?
  • Can a theme ZIP file be uploaded?
  • Are these features included: customer login, navigation menus, product collections, and theme customization?

Additional context:

  • The user intends to use the Dawn theme (default style) from the Shopify Theme Store after upgrading and wants confirmation it can be customized on Basic.

Latest update:

  • The user asks how to identify visitors coming from Instagram and whether they can get a list of users who visited from Instagram within the Shopify admin.

Status:

  • No concrete answers or outcomes are provided in the visible posts. The thread appears open with unanswered confirmations on Basic plan capabilities and Instagram traffic tracking/listing in admin.
