Platform changes
Shopify is continuously improving and expanding its platform. To stay compatible, theme updates often include adjustments that align with these platform changes.
To ensure reliable and long-term support, merchants must use a minimum supported theme version when requesting theme support.
Code maintenance
Theme functionality relies on various code structures that evolve over time. Each new release includes developer maintenance to remove outdated or redundant code and fix potential errors. Using the latest theme version helps reduce compatibility issues and ensures access to the most stable and optimized code base.
App compatibility
Many Shopify apps make direct changes to theme code to enable integration. While apps update automatically, themes do not.
Keeping your theme up to date ensures it remains compatible with the apps and integrations you rely on.
