Atlas has shifted from a theme builder to a page builder. Instead of generating full themes, Atlas now generates high-converting home pages and product pages that can be imported into any Shopify theme.
If you're an existing Atlas theme user, your store and theme are completely unaffected. Everything you've already built remains intact.
In this article:
What changed
Atlas no longer generates themes. Due to Shopify policy changes, apps can no longer import themes directly into stores. Atlas has transitioned to an AI-powered page builder.
You can now use Atlas to generate home pages and product pages and import them into any Shopify theme you're already using. This gives you more flexibility to use the theme of your choice while still building high-converting pages with Atlas.
💡 This change gives you more freedom. You can now use any Shopify theme you want and still build high-converting pages with Atlas.
What stays the same
All other Atlas features are still fully available:
AI-powered home page and product page generation
Bundle Deals
Cart Upsells
Sales Pages
AI Product Photos
Nothing has been removed from your toolset. The only change is how pages are delivered: into your existing theme rather than as a new theme.
What this means for existing Atlas theme users
If you already have the Atlas theme installed on your store:
Your theme and store are completely untouched. Nothing changes or breaks.
You will no longer be able to generate new Atlas themes.
Going forward, you can use the page builder to create new home pages and product pages and import them directly into your existing Atlas theme, just like any other theme.
No action is required on your end. The next time you open Atlas, you'll see the updated page builder workflow automatically.
ℹ️ Your existing Atlas theme is fully yours. It will continue to work exactly as it does today with no changes to functionality or appearance.
What this means for new users
If you're new to Atlas, your workflow starts with the page builder. Choose or install any Shopify theme you like, then use Atlas to generate home pages and product pages and import them into that theme. Combined with Bundle Deals, Cart Upsells, Sales Pages, and AI Product Photos, you have everything you need to build a high-converting store on any theme.
