Transfer premium theme to another account

Hi guys, hope you could help. I’d like to purchase a premium theme, but as I have two stores [on different accounts], I was wondering if I can transfer the theme from one store to the other? Thankyou

yes, please download fresh theme and upload

Hi, @Ironrosehome ,

That’s a good question! When you buy a theme from the Shopify Theme Store, that theme is licensed only to the store that you originally buy it for. So if you want to transfer a theme license to another store, then you need to contact Shopify Support.

To that end, I’d recommend you have a look at our guide to managing your themes.

All that said, have you had a look at our Online Store 2.0 and our newest free Dawn theme?

The free new Dawn theme has some pretty fantastic features that may prove quite attractive. You could save yourself the money on a premium theme unless you have a specific feature in a particular theme that you’re looking for of course!

Dawn theme has:

  • Sections on every page (not just the home page)! This means far greater customization options for each page!
  • Enhanced app support, so you can install or change apps without touching any code (meaning far less likelihood of code clashes and things breaking). And you can add app functionality anywhere in your theme using app blocks, so there’s no messy cutting and chopping of code and fewer limitations of placement.
  • You can add dynamic, specialized information to any setting in your theme by connecting the setting to a dynamic source. A dynamic source can be a resource attribute or a meta field value (more on this in the doc!)
  • Collection filtering: This allows your customer to filter your collections in your store by availability, price, and more.

In other words, you could get lots of great functionality at no cost.

Let me know if you have any questions!
