A theme determines the look and feel of a Shopify storefront. Shopify provides a range of free themes, or if you require something different, there is also a paid-for theme option.
Themes are selected in online storefront > themes.
Customising themes
All themes can be edited in a theme editor. We will discuss editing the theme in another video.
