Trying and buying
Can I try Acanthus before buying?
Yes. In the Shopify Theme Store, select Try theme. It is added to your theme library, where you can customize and preview it with your own products for free. You pay only to publish it.
Can I use it on more than one shop?
A purchase covers one shop. For a second shop, buy it again from that shop. See the license.
Which style should I choose?
Acanthus for luxury skincare, Calla for clean and botanical brands, Carmine for makeup, Celadon for clinical skincare. Every style has every feature. See Choose a style.
Setting up
My shop looks nothing like the demo.
The demo has its own products, pictures and menus. See My shop looks different from the demo.
Where did the section I added go?
It may be hidden (a crossed-out eye in the left list), or it shows nothing until it has content, such as a collection. See My changes do not show.
Do I need apps?
No. Bundles, a skin quiz, a shade finder, countdowns, free samples, a spend-goal bar and reviews written in the theme all work without apps. Add apps for what Shopify and the theme do not do, such as collecting reviews automatically.
Everyday changes
How do I change the color of just one section?
Choose another Color scheme in that section's settings. See Colors and color schemes.
How do I put a video on the home page?
Can I show more than four products in a row?
Yes: most product sections have Columns on desktop.
Can I turn off dark mode?
Yes. See Light and dark mode.
Updates and code
Are updates free? Do I have to update?
Updates are free. You don't have to update, but support answers on the latest version. See Update the theme.
Will I lose my settings when I update?
No. Settings, sections and content carry over. Edits to the theme's code do not.
Can I edit the theme's code?
Yes, at your own risk: edited code is outside support, and is not carried over by updates. See Apps and custom code.
The theme doesn't do something I need. Will you add it?
Tell us through the contact form. Requests that help many shops shape future updates.
