You can add Gloaming to your store without changing what your customers see. A new theme arrives unpublished: you can edit and preview it while your current theme stays live.

​
Upload the theme file

1

Open your themes

In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
The Themes page in the Shopify admin

Online Store → Themes: 1 Import, under Draft themes · 2 your current theme

2

Upload the ZIP file

Under Draft themes, click Import → Upload zip file, choose the Gloaming ZIP file you received, and click Upload file. Do not unzip it first.
The Upload zip file option

1 Import · 2 Upload zip file

3

Wait for it to finish

Gloaming appears in your theme library with an Unpublished label when the upload is done. It usually takes under a minute.
4

Preview and customize

Click Customize to open the theme editor, or ⋯ → Preview to see it as a customer would. Nothing changes on your live store until you publish.
5

Publish when you are ready

Click ⋯ → Publish in the theme library. Your previous theme stays in the library, so you can switch back at any time.
Before publishing, preview on your phone as well as your computer, add a piece to the bag, and check a product with metal and ring size options.

​
Set up in this order

  1. Set up your products: options, metafields and swatches.
  2. Create your pages and templates and menus.
  3. Add filters with Search & Discovery.
  4. Fill in the home page sections, from the Hero film down.
  5. Turn on any promotions you want, such as the spin wheel.

Want the demo store look?

A fresh install starts with placeholders, so your own pieces show from the start. To start from the full demo instead, follow Import the demo content.
