Getting Started

The best place to start when designing a new Theme is to choose from the selection of pre-built Themes provided with AmeriCommerce. To create a new Theme, select Themes > Get More Themes.

This page lists all available stock Themes. Pick a name for your new Theme and click the Add button.

Your newly created Theme will appear in the Themes drop-down menu, and it is ready to tweak.

Preview and Apply Themes

To preview your new Theme, click on Stores > StoreName > Store Settings, then from the Themes drop-down, choose the new Theme and click the Preview icon. To apply the new Theme for all customers to see, click the Save icon at the top.
