Getting started
Add the Spark Automotive Theme, publish it, and configure every section — from your logo to your seasonal banners — in about half an hour.
-
Add & preview the theme
Open the Spark Automotive Theme in the Shopify Theme Store and choose Try theme. Shopify adds it to Online Store › Themes as an unpublished copy in your theme library, so your live storefront doesn't change yet. Use Customize or Preview to explore it safely with your own products.
-
Publish when you're ready
Once the theme looks right, click Publish on the theme card. Your previous theme stays in the library, so you can switch back at any time. Consider previewing on a few key products and collections first.
-
Customize logo, colors, and fonts
Go to Online Store › Themes › Customize. In Theme settings you can upload your logo, set brand colors (the orange accent, dark surfaces, and text colors are all editable), and choose your heading and body fonts from Shopify's font picker. Changes preview live before you save.
Tip: Set your accent color to match your brand once — it flows through buttons, badges, and links across every page.
-
Configure your homepage sections
In the theme editor, the homepage is built from drag-and-drop sections. Add and reorder the featured vehicle carousel, top categories, brand logo gallery, and promo banners. Each section has its own settings for headings, images, and links. Hide any section you don't need.
-
Set up collections for a large catalog
Open a collection template in the editor to turn on filters (by type, brand, price, or metafield) and sorting. The collection grid is built to stay fast at tens of thousands of SKUs, with clear pagination. Create the collections you want to feature and link them from your homepage categories.
-
Product cards & compatibility badges
Product cards can show a part number and a "Fits your vehicle" badge. These read from metafields — set them up once and the theme handles display and hiding automatically. See the Compatibility metafields guide for the exact namespaces and keys.
-
Enable quick order
The theme's quick order lets shoppers add parts by part number. Turn it on in the relevant section settings and review the tips in the Quick order guide to get the best match rate from your titles, SKUs, and metafields.
-
Build your brand logo gallery
Add the brand logo gallery section to your homepage and upload the manufacturer logos you carry. Link each logo to its collection so shoppers can browse by brand in one tap.
-
Schedule seasonal promo banners
Use the promo banner sections for winter, track-season, or clearance messaging. Set the headline, link, and imagery in the editor, and swap them whenever your promotions change — no developer needed.
-
Turn on theme update notifications
New theme versions ship through the Theme Store. Add the update-notification signup to your workflow so you hear about improvements — see the Theme updates guide.
Prefer to keep your existing branding while you evaluate? Preview the theme unpublished for as long as you like — nothing changes for shoppers until you publish.
