Recharge Theme Engine

The Recharge Theme Engine allows you to customize the interface of your store's customer portal. The customer portal is a series of pages and controls that allow your customers to view or modify their subscriptions, change their billing information, or review their order history. With Theme Engine Theme Editor, you can customize the customer portal to fit your store's style and branding.

Access the Recharge Theme Engine

Use the Theme Editor to customize your customer portal theme.

Create a new theme or edit an existing one

If you are using single payment methods and choose the Novum template, you will be asked if you want to develop a single payment method or multiple payment method theme.

You can upgrade to multiple payment methods by publishing the new multiple payment method theme. Once you publish a multiple payment methods theme, you cannot switch back to use or preview a single payment method theme. Choosing the multiple payment methods team allows you to develop and test multiple payment methods prior to converting. You can publish the new multiple payment methods theme when updates are ready.

Create a new theme if you want to update an existing one to a newer template version. This automatically uses the latest template version, and you can migrate customizations from the existing theme to the new one.

1. From the merchant portal, click Storefront and select Theme Editor.
2. Click Create new theme or click Edit code to work on an existing theme.
3. If creating a new theme, enter a name in the Theme name field and select the Theme template from the dropdown.
4. Click Create theme.
   

Import a theme

1. From your merchant portal, click Storefront and select Theme Editor.
