Theme Upgrade
Keeping your Shopify theme up to date is essential for performance, security, and access to the latest features—but there’s no automatic upgrade process. That means you’ll need to manually download the latest version, reconfigure all your settings, migrate custom code, and reinstall apps that affect your storefront. One wrong move, and you could break key functionality or lose customisations!
Why risk it? Our Shopify theme upgrade service takes care of everything for you—ensuring a seamless transition without downtime, lost data, or technical headaches. We start with a theme upgrade audit to assess the work needed, then handle the entire process efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do We Need to Conduct an Audit?
We cannot offer a fixed price for a Shopify theme upgrade because the time required varies from store to store. Some shops, with minimal custom coding and only a few apps, might only take a couple of hours to upgrade. Others, packed with custom modifications and multiple integrations, can take 10+ hours.
The challenge? There’s no way to instantly tell which files have been edited or how the custom code interacts with your store. Each upgrade requires a careful, file-by-file review to ensure nothing breaks—making it tricky to give a one-size-fits-all quote.
That’s why we start with an audit. It helps us assess the scope of work, estimate the time needed, and ensure a smooth, hassle-free upgrade for your store!
What’s Included in the Audit?
Our Shopify theme upgrade audit is a crucial first step to ensure a smooth and accurate upgrade process. Here’s what’s involved:
✅ Store & Theme Analysis – We get familiar with your store, reviewing your current theme setup, and assessing its structure.
✅ App Review – We check which apps you have installed, especially those that impact your storefront, to determine if they will need reinstallation or adjustments.
✅ Custom Code Inspection – If you have made any custom coding changes, we identify them to ensure they are properly migrated to the new theme version.
✅ Upgrade Time Estimate – We evaluate how complex the upgrade will be based on factors like app usage, theme customisation, and how outdated your current theme version is.
✅ Personalised Quote – Once we have gathered all the details, we’ll provide you with a tailored quote to complete your theme upgrade, ensuring transparency with no surprises.
This audit allows us to give you a realistic timeframe and cost estimate while making sure your store gets the best possible upgrade—hassle-free!
What If I Decide Not to Proceed?
No worries at all—you’re under no obligation to move forward with the theme upgrade after receiving our quote. However, please note that the audit fee is non-refundable, as it covers the time spent assessing your store, reviewing custom code, and providing an upgrade estimate.
If you do choose to go ahead with the upgrade, the audit fee will be applied towards your total upgrade cost, so you won’t be paying twice! Either way, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of what’s involved in upgrading your theme.
