How Can I Transfer the Atlas Theme, App, and Product Page Designs Between Shopify Stores?
Transferring elements such as the Atlas theme, app, or product page designs between Shopify stores involves certain limitations and precise steps, depending on what you're trying to move. Below is a comprehensive guide.
Transferring the Atlas Theme
Export the Theme from the Original Store: - In your existing Shopify store, download the Atlas theme as a file by exporting it. Shopify provides export instructions in its theme management section.
Import the Theme to the New Store: - Log into the new store where you want the theme. Import the exported theme file into this store under Online Store > Themes > Upload Theme.
Note: The theme transfer process doesn't include active apps or subscriptions linked to the original store. See app installation instructions below.
Using Atlas App in Another Shopify Store
To use the Atlas app in a new Shopify store, download and install the app directly from the Shopify App Store.
Atlas Subscription Limitation: The Atlas app’s subscription is tied to individual stores. If you’re setting up a new store, you’ll need to purchase a new subscription for the app to use it in the new store.
Recreating Product Page Designs
While themes can be exported and imported between stores within Shopify, product page designs cannot be directly transferred between different Shopify stores. Here’s what to do if you want to replicate product pages:
Manually Recreate Product Pages: - Product pages designed with the Atlas theme must be manually recreated in the new store. - Use the same design settings and content input fields for consistency.
Key Limitations to Understand
Product Page Transfer: Shopify does not support direct product page transfers between stores, even if the same theme is used.
Subscription Transfer: Atlas app subscriptions are store-specific and cannot be transferred. A new subscription must be purchased for each store.
By following these steps, Shopify users can efficiently transfer or recreate their store elements while understanding the associated limitations.
