It depends on the license type of the Shopify theme:
- Free Shopify Themes (from Shopify) → Yes, you can use them on multiple stores.
- Premium Shopify Themes (from Shopify Theme Store) → No, each store requires a separate purchase.
- Third-Party Themes (from ThemeForest, other marketplaces) → License terms vary. Some allow multiple uses, while others require a separate purchase per store.
If you’re unsure, check the theme provider’s licensing terms.
Premium Shopify Themes from Shopify Theme Store
Each Shopify store requires a valid theme license in accordance with Shopify’s Terms of Service. If you have closed or plan to close the store associated with your current theme license, you must transfer the license to your new store. The transfer process depends on how you originally purchased the theme.
If you bought the theme directly from Shopify, you’ll need to contact their support team to request a license transfer. Typically, this requires permanently closing your current store before moving the license to the new one. Shopify’s support team will guide you through the process.
Please note that we verify theme licenses when providing support. To receive assistance or download the latest version of your theme, your theme license must be properly activated on your store.
