I took backup my Shopify store data using Themes -> Action -> Duplicate option and I'm tried to import this theme into my new Shopify account using Themes -> Theme Library -> Upload theme.
But I can't able to get my old web stores data such as logo, products, Contact Us, About Us and other stuff.
Can any help me to fix that issue?
Here are my store's links
Store 1 : https://aasthaworld-markertplace.myshopify.com
Store 2 : https://kevell-textiles.myshopify.com
The Shopify data is not stored in the theme files
This means that all of the:
images
pages
products
navigations
collections
blogs
orders
customers
etc..
Will NOT be transferred. You need to use an App or to manually transfer all of the content you need.
One of the many "joys" when transferring stores in Shopify.
Go to;
Online Store
Import Theme
Upload theme (under Theme Library)
Once you have activated the theme you will be able to see it on your store.
You will need to do separate exports for products, customers, pages etc. Some may require manual imports, or copy & paste.

I see multiple scopes on Shopify API likes write_themes or write_script_tags to add content in differents files of the theme.
I would like to create an app to add a marketing pixel in differents pages like checkout, index or add_to_cart.
I will need to add a script like :
<script>
...PixelCode...
init('API_KEY', VIEW)
</script>
I will need to set the API_KEY variable dynamique and editable from the panel of the app.
What is the best scope and way to do that ?
Thank you in advance.
Have your App installed in the merchant shop. They approve your App to add script tags. Next up, have your App install the needed script tags. Finally, profit from your hard work.
As for the scopes, writing a script tag only requires that scope. You are not modifying the merchant's theme, so you do not need that scope.
I am trying to create very simple prestashop theme for a client. Without any registration and login system. Just 4 pages + page where products are displayed and all that is required to make a purchase.
I already made a copy of default bootrstrap theme, now I need to figure out which .tpl files I can delete. For example can I remove new-products.tpl if my clients doesn't need this functionality, or manufacturer-list.tpl if my clients is selling only self made products.
My problem is that when you login on my store - you (not necessarily registered) could add your e-mail and other information.

I see that there is a possibility to change the metafields of the customer.
But I need to change the metafields of the store.
Does someone know where to find a list of requests or is there any options to change Metafields?
If you, as somebody with admin access to the store, needs to manually set or modify metafields on your store and either don't want to (or cannot) use a custom app to do so:
Get the (free) ShopifyFD extension for your browser (Link to the extension on the Chrome store)
Log in to your store and go to the 'Settings' (gear icon)
Click ShopifyFD's green '+' icon in your browser to load the extension on the page. You should now see your store metafields appear
You can now add metafields by filling in the boxes, or select existing metafields to manually edit their values.
Note: Metafields that are set by any of the apps that your are using should generally not be edited manually - changing an auto-generated field could really confuse the app that relies on it!
A client of mine wants to create their ecommerce site with BigCommerce as back-end. BigCommerce has lots of theme's available in their theme store. This client however does not want to be just another website using a certain theme, but have a theme unique to their company. You can build your own theme which would use your own config.php, something they use to set global variables in their templating engine.
However as far as I can read on their developers site the only way that you could create your own theme is if you then start selling it in the theme store, which of course would allow other companies to adopt this same theme against a certain price. Something my client doesnt want. They want to be unique.
So my question is: Can you create a custom bigcommerce theme from scratch, without selling it in the theme store?
Absolutely, however you can set up a config.php file and all that. You can simply start with any theme available in the current theme store, download the HTML, CSS, JS, Image, etc files and customize them to your liking. These are completely open ended.
You won't really miss anything this way, the only thing the config file does is set the default store settings when that theme is applied such as menu depth, fly out menus, display of weight, etc. All that can be adjusted manually by you or your client in the store settings!
So to answer my own question directly: No, you cannot create a theme from scratch without being a parter of bigcommerce and making your theme available in the theme store.
You can get close as #TheEks describes by simply choosing a theme (preferably the blueprint, available when going in to dev mode), and then overwriting whatever contents the html files have. You will need to check for updates to the bigcommerce theme yourself and implement those in your code. You will not be able to remove theme files, if you no longer use them, from the webdav server, only revert them to their original state. You can just ignore them of course.
Is there any way to publish a test template page? For example, if I have a template file called "cart-test.liquid," is there anything I can modify so I can navigate to "http://shopname.com/cart-test" in order to test it out?
I'm currently developing an widget that'll be included on Shopify cart pages, and one of my clients wants to test it out before it's published on their real cart page.
The best way to test a theme without editing the live theme is to duplicate the current theme and use the preview function.
From within the Shopify admin (using Shopify Admin 2) goto the "Themes" section. Here you can "duplicate" the published main theme. It will create a copy of the theme within the "Unpublished themes" section. Here you can edit it and also get a preview of this theme (click on the link preview).
