How to determine the theme I am using is version 1.0 or 2.0?

Modified on Tue, 17 Mar at 12:57 AM

If you’re unsure whether your Shopify theme is an Online Store 2.0 theme or a 1.0 (Vintage) theme, you can easily check this by following the steps below.


Steps to Check Your Theme Version

  • Go to your Shopify Admin.

  • Navigate to Online Store → Themes.

  • Locate your current (published) theme.

  • Click the three-dot (⋯) icon next to the theme and select Edit code.

  • In the Templates folder, look for a file named product.json.


How to Interpret the Result

  • If product.json exists
    Your theme is an Online Store 2.0 theme and is fully compatible with the Lavar app.

  • If product.json does not exist
    Your theme is a 1.0 (Vintage) theme. Unfortunately, 1.0 themes are not supported by Lavar at this time.


Why Theme Version Matters

Lavar relies on Shopify’s Theme App Extension framework, which is only supported by Online Store 2.0 themes. Due to Shopify platform limitations, apps like Lavar cannot function properly on 1.0 themes.

If your store is currently using a 1.0 theme, we recommend upgrading to a 2.0 theme to ensure compatibility and access to all Lavar features.
