The launch guide

Your store is built.
Let’s get it into Shopify.

Two files. Five clear steps. Follow along here while you set up your store in Shopify.

Theme ZIP

Your storefront’s design

Product CSV

Your product, photos & variants

  1. Download both store files

    Finish reviewing your store in Droppa, then download your theme ZIP and product CSV from the export screen. Keep both files together.

    Helpful details

    On your phone, look in your browser’s downloads or your Files app. Keep the theme as a ZIP file for upload. Shopify needs a plan that supports custom themes; Starter does not.

  2. Import your product into Shopify

    In Shopify admin, open Products → Import. Choose your product CSV, review the import preview, then select Import products.

    Helpful details

    Check your product’s photos, prices, options, and availability after importing. Leave the overwrite option off for a new product; use it only when you intend to replace an existing product’s data.

  3. Upload your theme

    Go to Online Store → Themes. Under Draft themes, choose Import theme → Upload zip file and select the theme ZIP from Droppa.

    Helpful details

    Wait for the upload to finish, then preview the new theme before publishing it. If a product section is empty, open the theme editor and select your imported product in that section’s settings.

  4. Make the store yours

    Review your store name, contact details, product claims, shipping rates, and payment settings. Add policies in Shopify’s Settings → Policies.

    Helpful details

    Your theme and product files do not configure your payment provider or populate Shopify’s native policy settings. Review policy text for your business and make sure customers can find your contact information.

  5. Check the shopping experience

    Preview on your phone and a larger screen. Try every product option, add an item to the cart, and check the price and quantity before publishing your theme.

    Helpful details

    Check that photos load, buttons work, and policy links lead somewhere useful. Use Shopify’s test-order instructions to check checkout before taking real orders. Keep a copy of your downloaded files.
