of course I’ve googled it already! I didn’t come up with any answers which is why I ended up asking for help here hoping someone else may be able to figure out what I couldn’t.
What he is saying is that it is not a theme. It is built on the Shopify Plus platform from the ground up specifically for him. So there would not be a default starter theme, unfortunately.
