Check Shopify Version

Overview

If you do not know which version of Shopify you are on, read this guide.

If you know you are on Shopify 1.0, or you could discover so after following the steps in this guide, view our Shopify 1.0 installation prerequisite guide.

Identify Your Shopify Version

Option 1: Code Editor

To check which version of Shopify your store is using, you can follow these steps:

Login to your Shopify account and navigate to the Online Store section. Click on Themes, then select Actions, and finally Edit Code.

Open the Config folder and click on settings_schema.json. Look for the theme_version field to see your theme's version.

Option 2: Theme Customizer

If you are not comfortable using the code editor, another way to check is through your theme customizer:

  1. Within the Shopify Admin, navigate to Online Store > Themes.

  2. Click Customize.

  3. In the theme customizer, click Add Section (+).

  4. Check if an App section is available to add. If App sections are available, then you are using Shopify 2.0.

If your theme was created before June 2021 and you haven't updated versions, it is likely that you are still using Shopify 1.0. For further assistance, contact support@benovel.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You can check your theme's version by accessing the Edit Code section in the Themes page of your Shopify Admin. Open the settings_schema.json file in the Config folder and look for the theme_version field.

  • To upgrade to Shopify 2.0, you can download a new Shopify 2.0 theme from the Shopify Theme Store or add the latest version of your current theme if it supports 2.0. Manual migration may also be necessary for custom themes.

  • Compatibility depends on your theme developer. Check the documentation or contact your theme developer to see if your theme supports Shopify 2.0. Sometimes, even themes with high version numbers might not support Shopify 2.0.

  • While your existing Shopify 1.0 store will continue to work, it won't have access to the new features and improvements available in Shopify 2.0, such as advanced customization options, better performance, and improved app integrations.
