# How to change your store's theme and edit its sections

Go to **Online Store → Themes** to browse and apply a theme, then click **Customize** on your active theme to edit its sections, colors, and fonts in the theme builder.

## Steps

1. Open **Online Store → Themes** to see the available theme library.
2. Click a theme's **Apply** button to switch to it; you'll be asked whether to import its demo data (**Import demo & apply**) or start with your existing content (**Start clean**).
3. Once a theme is active, click **Customize** to open the theme builder for that theme.
4. In the builder, click any section to edit its content, or use the **Add Blocks** panel to add new sections; use the Styles tab on a selected element to change just its color/font without affecting the rest of the page.
5. For small code-level tweaks, open **Custom Code** in the theme settings — there are separate areas for custom CSS, a head script, and a footer JS script.

## Common problems

- Want an AI-generated store design, not just an AI landing page → click the **AI theme** option on the **Online Store → Themes** page to generate a custom design from your brand description. The number of AI theme generations available is tied to your plan; if you've used up your allowance, contact support about upgrading.
- Want to build the entire store with your own custom code → this isn't supported; you can customize an existing theme with the drag-and-drop tools and add small code snippets (CSS/head/footer JS), but you can't replace the whole store with custom-coded pages.
- Want to import a theme built outside Dropify → this isn't currently supported; choose and customize one of the built-in themes instead.
- Want to change your store's name → this isn't currently changeable; customers see your connected domain, not your internal store name.
- No option to add HTML to a product description → use the **Code HTML** block from the Add Blocks panel in the page builder instead of the description field.
