Installation guide

This guide walks you through installing any Floxo theme on your Shopify store โ€” from downloading the ZIP to going live. No developer experience needed.

โ„น๏ธ Before you start: Make sure you have your license key ready. You'll find it in your Floxo dashboard under "My Purchases".

Step 1 โ€” Download your theme

  1. Log in to your Floxo account Go to floxo.com/dashboard and sign in with your purchase email.
  2. Go to My Purchases Find the theme you want to install and click Download ZIP.
  3. Save the ZIP file The file will be named something like floxo-luxe-v2.4.zip. Keep it accessible โ€” you'll upload it to Shopify next.

Step 2 โ€” Upload to Shopify

  1. Open your Shopify admin Navigate to Online Store โ†’ Themes.
  2. Add a new theme Click the Add theme dropdown and select Upload zip file.
  3. Select your ZIP Upload the ZIP file you downloaded from your Floxo dashboard.
  4. Wait for upload to complete Shopify will process the upload (usually <30 seconds). Once done, the theme appears in your theme library.
๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Don't publish the theme immediately โ€” configure it in preview mode first using the steps below.

Step 3 โ€” Configure in preview

After uploading, click Customize on the Floxo theme. This opens the Shopify theme editor in preview mode. Your live store is unaffected until you hit Publish.

Apply a starter preset

Each Floxo theme ships with industry-specific presets that configure sections, colors, and typography for your niche in one click. In the theme editor, go to Theme settings โ†’ Presets and pick the one closest to your brand.

PresetBest forDefault palette
Fashion DarkApparel, streetwearBlack / Purple
Fashion LightMinimalist clothingIvory / Charcoal
LuxuryJewelry, accessoriesBlack / Gold
BeautyCosmetics, skincareRose / Cream
MonochromeEditorial brandsPure black / white

Step 4 โ€” Add your content

With your preset applied, add your real content. The minimum you need before publishing:

  • Logo โ€” Upload via Theme settings โ†’ Header
  • Colors โ€” Match your brand in Theme settings โ†’ Colors
  • Hero banner โ€” Replace placeholder images in the Homepage section
  • Featured products โ€” Link your real products to the homepage grid
  • Footer links โ€” Add your pages, policies, and contact info

Step 5 โ€” Publish

When you're happy with the preview, click Save then return to Online Store โ†’ Themes and hit Publish on the Floxo theme. Your store is now live on the new design.

โš ๏ธ Heads up: Publishing replaces your current live theme. Your previous theme is saved and can be re-published anytime from the theme library.

Troubleshooting

ZIP upload fails

If Shopify rejects the upload, the file may have been corrupted during download. Go back to your Floxo dashboard and re-download. If the problem persists, contact [email protected].

Theme looks blank after upload

This is normal โ€” the theme needs content to display. Apply a preset (Step 3) and your store structure will appear immediately.

Images not loading

Placeholder images in the demo are not included in the theme ZIP (they're served from Shopify's CDN). Replace all placeholder images with your own from within the theme editor.
