How to Install the Shopify Horizon Theme

Horizon is one of Shopify's newer free themes, built for a fast, launch-ready setup with a more flexible editor than older themes.

Steps

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  2. Scroll to Explore free themes (or visit the Horizon listing on the Shopify Theme Store) and select Horizon.
  3. Click Add theme. It's added to your theme library without going live yet.
  4. Once added, click Customize to start editing, or Actions > Publish to make it your live theme.

A few notes

Installing a theme never requires an app — this is a native Shopify action. Adding Horizon doesn't remove your other themes; anything already installed stays in your library until you delete it.
