Install and upgrade Studio Arcana

Studio Arcana is an Online Store 2.0 theme. Install it from your theme library or deployment package, then follow this quick-start order for the fastest clean launch.

Merchant quick start

1. Upload your Brand logo and Favicon in Theme settings.
2. Start from the homepage preset that matches your business: hair, spa, tattoo, or beauty. Presets include hero, services, specialists, and retail sections — reorder in Customize as needed.
3. Optional: add Mega menu blocks under Header for rich desktop promo columns.
4. Configure Header → Search and utilities: utility icon style, mobile drawer search, Shopify account menu, phone link, or secondary menu (see Header navigation guide).
5. Optional: add the Lookbook section for a shoppable editorial grid.
6. Configure booking URLs in Theme settings → Booking, or add booking App blocks in supported sections.
7. Add service and aftercare products, then link them with custom.service_pairing and custom.treatment_service metafields.
8. Add specialists, before/after proof, Local trust (address, hours, optional map embed), and policies.
9. Fill Social and profile URLs and Service area for SEO and local-service structured data. Optional: reviews.rating and reviews.rating_count for Google stars.
10. If you sell subscriptions on retail SKUs, enable Shopify Subscriptions selling plans and confirm the picker on Main product.
11. Test one service journey and one retail journey on mobile before publishing.

Upgrading from a previous version

• Duplicate your live theme before replacing it.
• Push or upload the new theme version to an unpublished copy.
• Review Header settings after upgrade: desktop layout, utility icon style, and customer account menu (1.2.0+).
• Run through the quick-start checklist on the preview URL.
• Publish only after service and retail smoke tests pass.
