2.1 If you select a Live theme

If setting up TURBO for an active theme, it's recommended that you use a duplicated version to test and adjust before applying changes to the live theme.

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  • For the theme that you want to duplicate, click the ... button to open the actions menu, and then click Duplicate.

2.2. If you select an unpublished theme with former version installed.

Since each theme should use only one version at a time, if you select an unpublished theme with the former version installed, an error message will be displayed.
  • If you want to continue using this theme, you will need to remove the former version and install TURBO on this theme.
  • Alternatively, you can select a different theme to proceed.

  • Click the Remove button on the popup to proceed.
  • You can select a different theme to proceed.

âš  Please note that this action cannot be undone.

Once the former version is removed, click Next to proceed with setting up TURBO on your selected theme.

âš  Important

Currently, third-party apps integration feature is not available for the TURBO version. We are diligently working to ensure that TURBO supports all third-party apps that are available in previous versions. Expect an update soon where all third-party apps will be accessible through the third-party menu.
