Shopify carries theme-editor settings and compatible code edits into an update, and tells you when edits could not be included. We find every change in your current theme, check what Shopify carried, move across what it could not, and let you compare before anything changes for shoppers.
Pay by card → a short intake form → scope confirmed before work starts.

Sound familiar?

Is this for you?

How it runs
Your live theme against the version it came from, to find every change anyone made.
The new version added as a duplicate; we check what Shopify carried and move across what it could not.
Home, collection, product, cart and search on mobile and desktop, against the live store side by side.
Nothing changes for shoppers until you press publish.
What you get back
Not a status update — the things you can open, check and keep.
Installed as a duplicate, with your theme settings, sections, menus and templates carried across.
Every code change we can find in the old version, listed: carried by Shopify's update, re-applied by us, or flagged where the new version already does it.
What was carried, what was dropped and why, and what the new version gave you.
Untouched, as a backup, for at least 30 days.

Fair questions
It does a lot of it: theme-editor settings come across, and so do code edits that do not conflict with the update. When they conflict, Shopify adds the theme with a note that code edits could not be included. The job is checking which happened, carrying the rest across by hand, and listing it all.
It works until you want a section that only exists in the new version. Updating on a copy, with every customization listed, means you choose the moment instead of being pushed into it.
The theme is the easy part. The price covers comparing your theme with its original to find every change anyone made, carrying those changes across, an expert check of home, collection, product, cart and search on mobile and desktop, and a written diff.
Safeguards
Your live theme is never touched until you publish. If the updated copy does not carry what we listed, we fix it.
Questions
No. The update happens on a duplicate. Shoppers see the old theme until you press publish, and the old theme stays as a backup.
It goes on the written diff with the reason and what it would take. Nothing disappears silently.
Any theme from the Shopify Theme Store on an Online Store 2.0 version. Older themes are quoted, because they are a rebuild.
The date is set once we have compared your theme with its original — a theme nobody touched is quick, a heavily edited one is not, and we will not guess.
Studio members queue theme updates like any other task, so the version never drifts a year behind again.
Two ways this goes
The theme stays on its old version, and the gap to the new one widens with every release.
The latest version of your theme, with your customisations carried across — on a copy you check first. $349.
