A New Era for Shopify Themes: More Visibility, Better Fit, and Enhanced Experiences

Big news is here, Shopify has just rolled out exciting updates to the Theme Store as of July 14, giving merchants more clarity, choice, and confidence when selecting the right theme for their business.

At Koding Themes, we’re thrilled to announce that our themes now appear in 15+ placements across multiple industries, thanks to Shopify’s updated industry filters, catalogue size filters, and more tailored browsing options. This means more exposure for our work, and more importantly, more relevance and easier decision-making for you.

Now, when you install a theme, you no longer have to start from scratch—trying to recreate the sections and design you saw in the demo store. Everything comes preloaded and ready to go, so you can get your store up and running faster.

What’s New in the Shopify Theme Store (and Why It Matters to You):

Dedicated Preset Listing Pages
Each theme preset now has its own dedicated page, allowing you to explore its layout, design tone, and potential use cases in greater depth. It’s a smoother, more visual experience that puts the focus on what matters most: your brand's fit.

Embedded Demo Store Experiences
No more jumping between tabs to see how a theme functions. You can now interact with a live preview directly on the listing page, helping you understand how each preset works with your content and product range.

Updated Filters: By Industry & Catalogue Size
Shopify has introduced refined filtering to help you narrow down themes based on your business type (e.g., fashion, health & beauty, home & garden) and catalogue size (small, medium, large). This is a huge win for scaling brands looking to find a theme that’s optimised for their current (and future) needs.

Better Sorting, Cleaner Navigation
With updated sorting options and the removal of the old Horizon banner from the homepage, merchants can now browse the Theme Store with less friction and more intent.

What This Means for Koding Themes

With these changes, our themes — including Erickson, Brava, and Machina — now show up in more targeted search results, serve more industries, and benefit from more focused preset visibility. Each preset tells its own story, giving you deeper insight into how it can serve your store goals.

Whether you’re launching a boutique collection or expanding into new markets, these updates ensure that you can find a theme that’s ready to scale with you.

Action Steps for Merchants:

• Check out the new listing format: Each preset has its own showcase.

• Explore the demo stores embedded directly in the listings.

• Use the industry filters to find themes built for businesses just like yours.

• Get inspired by our 15+ placements across various niches — a true reflection of how adaptable and intentional our themes are.

If you're ready to reimagine your storefront with a theme that not only looks great but also aligns deeply with your business model, this is your moment.

We’re here to help you choose with clarity and launch with confidence.
