Does Shopify have a dark mode?

Where can you turn on dark mode in Shopify?

In the Shopify POS app. Shopify's POS settings help says you can set POS to light mode or dark mode, or have it use your device settings. On iPhone and iPad, light mode needs iOS 15.0 or higher.

POS Terminal and the Customer View app are a different case: Shopify discontinued dark mode there starting April 14, 2025, or when you upgrade to POS v10.0 or Customer View v2.0.

Does the Shopify admin have a dark mode?

None of the official pages we read on October 10, 2026 describes a dark theme or appearance setting for the web admin as a whole or for the Shopify mobile app.

The admin got a new look starting September 15, 2026, rolling out progressively. The admin overview says the refreshed design changes only the appearance and layout; neither page mentions a light or dark choice.

In October 2021 Shopify made Reports in Analytics available in dark mode, and a July 2025 post says the admin's new theme code editor has editor themes, including a dark mode. Neither post says how to turn dark mode on or whether it still applies.

Can your storefront have a dark theme?

Yes, as a design you set. In theme settings, a color scheme is a group of colors, such as background, text and button, that you apply to sections; themes that use them allow up to 21 color schemes in the theme editor. The theme pages we read describe no light/dark toggle for shoppers.

Some newer themes, such as Horizon 4.0.0 and later, use a color palette, not schemes: named brand colors that apply across the whole theme. In a theme with color schemes, create a dark scheme and apply it to the sections you want dark.
