Getting Started
Uisce installs like any Shopify theme. The whole process takes about two minutes.
Step 1 — Find the theme
Go to the Shopify Theme Store and search for Uisce. You'll see it listed under paid themes.
Step 2 — Add it to your store
Click Try theme. Shopify copies the theme into your theme library at Online Store > Themes. It won't affect your live store — it sits as an unpublished theme until you're ready.
Step 3 — Open the theme editor
Click Customize next to the Uisce theme in your library. This opens the visual editor where you'll do all your setup.
Step 4 — Choose a preset
Go to Theme settings and look for the Preset selector to choose a starting point for your store. Each preset sets the colors, fonts, and overall feel of your store in one click.
Preset picker
Pick whichever preset is closest to your industry. You'll be able to customise every detail later — this just gives you a head start.
TIP
Switching presets changes colours, fonts, and visual settings only. Your content — products, collections, pages, menus — stays exactly as it is. You can switch presets any time without losing work.
What's next
Now that your theme is set up, explore these guides in order:
- Theme Settings — Adjust colours, fonts, and layout options.
- Homepage — Build your homepage by stacking sections.
- Presets — See exactly what each preset includes.
Customer accounts
Uisce supports both versions of Shopify customer accounts:
- New customer accounts (recommended) — Uses the
<shopify-account>component in the header. Customers sign in via Shopify's hosted experience. This is the default for new stores. - Legacy customer accounts — Uses the traditional Liquid templates (
login.liquid,register.liquid,account.liquid, etc.). These templates are included for backward compatibility with stores that haven't upgraded yet.
WARNING
Shopify deprecated legacy customer accounts in February 2026. New stores no longer have access to legacy accounts. If your store is still using legacy customer accounts, we recommend upgrading to the latest version in your Shopify admin under Settings > Customer accounts.
The <shopify-account> component in the header automatically adapts: it opens an account sheet on new accounts, or links to the login page on legacy accounts. No theme changes are needed when you upgrade.
