Unlike some platforms such as WordPress, Shopify does not support child themes. Instead, merchants and developers typically duplicate the original theme before making customizations. This duplicate acts as a development version where changes can be tested safely without affecting the live store. Using theme duplication, Git version control, and Shopify CLI are the recommended approaches for managing customizations while preserving the original theme.
