Hey @shalera ,

When you change your store theme, some settings and policies may be affected, but it depends on the specific changes you make and the new theme you select.

Here are some things to consider:

  1. Customizations: If you have made any customizations to your current theme, such as changes to the layout, fonts, or colors, these will not be automatically carried over to the new theme. You will need to manually make these changes in the new theme.

  2. Apps: If you are using any apps that are integrated with your current theme, you will need to check if they are compatible with the new theme. Some apps may require you to make additional configuration changes after you switch to a new theme.

  3. Policies: Your store policies (such as shipping, refund, and privacy policies) are not tied to your theme, and changing your theme should not affect them.

  4. Product and collection settings: Depending on the new theme you select, your product and collection settings may need to be adjusted. For example, if your new theme has a different layout for product pages, you may need to adjust the settings for product images, descriptions, and pricing.

In general, it’s always a good idea to test a new theme in preview mode before making it live on your store. This will give you the opportunity to see how the new theme affects your store settings and make any necessary adjustments before it goes live.
