Elarune — Start here
Install and configure Elarune on an unpublished draft theme first. A theme ZIP provides the templates, custom Liquid sections, and beauty UX architecture; it does not automatically import catalog products, pages, menus, or store policies into a new Shopify store.

1. Upload and brand the theme
In your Shopify Admin, navigate to Online Store → Themes → Add theme → Upload zip file. Upload Elarune-theme.zip, then open the Shopify Theme Editor (Customize). Select your brand logo in the Header and Footer sections. Connect your main navigation menu and confirm customers can smoothly access collections and the cart.
2. Choose color palettes and typography
Under Theme settings → Colors → Color palette, choose between curated editorial presets (Burgundy & ivory, Botanical sage, Espresso & sand, Plum & pearl, or Midnight & porcelain), or select Custom colors to specify bespoke HEX values for backgrounds, text, and accents.
3. Add products and routine steps
Create products, variant shades/sizes, and high-resolution photography in Shopify Products. Connect category swatches and formula benefits using Shopify's custom data. Set up your Routine chapters and ingredients to guide customers through stepped discovery.
4. Configure built-in conversion tools
Elarune comes pre-engineered with 8 high-impact commerce features, including sticky add-to-cart bars, free-shipping tier meters, routine bundle cross-sells, in-cart upsells, and before/after transformation sliders. Review the Conversion tools guide to activate them with zero external apps.
5. Pre-launch shopping checks
- Inspect collection filtering, quick view modals, variant swatches, and cart drawer on a real mobile device.
- Ensure shipping rates, refund rules, and contact information are filled under Shopify store administration.
- Perform a test checkout using Shopify's test payment gateway prior to publishing.
