Guide to Creating a Theme on Fynd Platform

What steps are involved in the creation of a theme in Fynd Platform’s marketplace and what are the requirements?

To create a theme on the Fynd Partners platform, the following steps are involved:

  • Set up your local development environment.
  • Clone the Fynd Platform’s reference theme.
  • Preview changes made to your local code.
  • Push your theme’s code to the application.
  • Prepare your theme for submitting on the themes marketplace.

However, there are certain prerequisites before you begin creating a theme such as you need to have a Partner account on Fynd Partners, at least 1 development account or live account, FDK-CLI v3.0.2-alpha.27 or higher, Node.js v16.19 or higher, Git installed and you need to initialize a new theme using a base theme template.

You should first install FDK CLI, set your environment, login your partner account into FDK/CLI and select your partner organization.

After that, you can initialize a new theme using Emerge. You then select your account type and select the account in which you want to create the theme.

Finally, you can select your sales channel, navigate to your project folder, preview your theme and add a heading to your home page code. Once you’ve made your changes, sync the them with the application. At last, you can submit your theme to the marketplace.
