Prepare a website for Shopify
Connect a store, review the prepared theme and explicitly choose when it goes live.
Connect the intended store
When the Shopify app is available, install Twelva from Shopify for the store you manage. Review the requested access, open the app in Shopify, and explicitly link your Twelva account. Then open the website in Sites and select Shopify. Publishing requires theme-access approval and an eligible Shopify app subscription.
Manage Shopify connectionsPreparation already changes store content
Select the destination store and review the confirmation for Prepare theme & sync content. After theme-access approval, preparation copies your current Online Store 2.0 theme and replaces the copy’s home page content. Existing layout, header, footer and settings are preserved; products, collections and pages are synced during this step. Review your source content and store before confirming; preparation is not a read-only preview.
Review before going live
Wait for Ready to review, then open the preview or Shopify editor. Check the navigation, product details and storefront. Publishing the prepared theme requires a separate confirmation. If theme access is pending, keep editing your site. Product CSV export remains available; complete theme downloads are not offered.
