Store basics
Shopify tasks every theme shares: wording, translation, code edits and common problems.
Articles
- What the theme controls and what Shopify controlsWhich parts of your store your Checkout Beast theme changes, and which ones live in your Shopify admin or in an app.
- Change the wording on your storeWhere the fixed text of your theme lives, such as button labels, cart notes and error messages, and how to replace it.
- Translate your storeAdding a second language to your store, and the parts of your theme and admin that need a translation besides your products.
- Remove the Powered by Shopify linkThe Powered by Shopify link in your footer, and the theme content field that holds its text.
- My changes don't show on my storeWhy a change you made in the theme editor is missing on your live store, and how to find which part is out of step.
- All my products show as sold outWhy products with stock show Sold out on your store, from shipping zones and markets to inventory settings and variants.
- Edit your theme's codeWhat to know before you or a developer change your theme's code files: support, backups, the editor's code fields, and updates.
These tasks work the same in every Checkout Beast theme, because Shopify handles them: changing the wording on your store, translating it, editing theme code, and problems that come from Shopify settings rather than the theme. What the theme controls and what Shopify controls helps you tell the two apart.
