Voyager is distributed through the Shopify Theme Store. Once purchased, it appears in your store admin as a draft theme — published only when you’re ready.

​
Install from the Theme Store

1

Buy Voyager

Visit the Shopify Theme Store, search for Voyager, and click Buy theme. The purchase is tied to one store; if you buy for voyage-store.myshopify.com, Voyager is yours on that store forever, including all updates.
2

Open the theme

In your store admin, go to Online Store → Themes. Voyager now appears in the Theme library section as a draft.
3

Try the theme before publishing

Click Customize next to Voyager. The Theme Editor opens with a live preview of your storefront. Nothing visitors see has changed yet — you’re previewing, not publishing.
4

Publish when ready

To make Voyager your live theme, click the ⋯ menu next to the Voyager draft and select Publish. Visitors immediately see the new theme on their next page load.
Always work in a duplicate copy. Duplicate Voyager (⋯ → Duplicate) before making major changes — that way, your draft customizations can’t break your live storefront, and you can revert if needed.

​
What you get on install

After buying Voyager, the theme files include: You don’t need to edit any of these files directly to use Voyager — every important setting is exposed in the Theme Editor.

​
System requirements

Voyager works on every Shopify plan, including Basic Shopify. It uses no third-party build tools, no npm dependencies, and no external services beyond Shopify itself.

​
Before you publish

If you’re moving from another theme to Voyager:
  1. Run a content audit — Voyager uses metafields on products for accordion content (details, care, shipping). Either set up metafields in Settings → Custom data → Products, or use the Voyager section settings to enter content directly.
  2. Set up Customer Accounts mode — Voyager ships 7 editorial customer page templates that only render when Classic customer accounts are enabled. See Customer pages for the trade-off between Classic and New accounts.
  3. Configure Checkout branding — Shopify’s checkout is hosted separately from the theme. See Checkout branding for color codes and logo specs.
  4. Test on mobile — half your visitors are on mobile. Open the Theme Editor in mobile preview before publishing.

​
Updating Voyager

When the Voyager team releases a theme update, you’ll see an Update available banner on the Voyager card in your Theme library.
Theme updates replace the theme files, including any code edits you made directly. Theme Editor settings (logo, colors, section content) are preserved. If you’ve customized theme files via the code editor, save those changes elsewhere before updating.
