Checklist

Review the change, not just the request.

A reliable theme deployment combines deterministic checks with human or AI review and a real storefront preview.

01

Code structure

Validate Liquid delimiters and blocks, HTML tags, JSON section schemas and translation keys.

02

Dependencies

Confirm that referenced assets exist and deletions do not leave broken render or include calls.

03

Performance

Review newly added scripts, loading behavior, images and third-party dependencies.

04

Storefront

Open the staging preview on desktop and mobile, test the affected interaction and confirm the intended merchant settings.

Questions

What merchants ask before installation.

Is this guide a substitute for testing my store?

No. It provides a workflow and decision framework. Store-specific validation is still required.
