I had a great experience working with the Out of the Sandbox team. They were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process—from guiding me on how to purchase and register the Flex theme, to answering all my questions with patience and clarity.

Their support team made everything easy to understand, and I truly appreciated how smooth and straightforward the experience was. I’m very happy with the service I received and would gladly recommend Out of the Sandbox to anyone looking for high-quality themes and excellent customer support.

Thank you for the great service!

Theme updater is easy to use as it carries over all your custom codes to the new theme at the press of a button. I do end up with coding 'conflicts' arising each time, but you just have to look at the code and make your own judgment on which code to accept. I either kept it to the same code or selected the one for the new theme. I don't trust the Ai version.

When updating it will give you a new draft copy of the theme so you don't mess up your Live one. You can always view and check the draft copy to make sure all your customisations are still in place and that everything looks ok before publishing and making it Live.

Hi Northside Flower Market team!

Our One-click AI-powered theme updates are pretty handy and save a lot of time since theme updates are a very manual process for most themes on Shopify!

We are so happy to hear that Theme Updater is part of your Retina theme's update process and thanks for the great review.

Must admit I am very disappointed of the app and service. Totally useless. The updates never go smoothly, it's deleting all my theme customizations (which I payed a lot for) and I can't use the updated theme. Most important files need to be configured manually, and I have to hire a developer to make the changes, for extra payment ($300 to be exact). It is ridiculous as a pay you each month for this app.

Hi camieandme team!

The Theme Updater does identify customizations that it cannot carry over from your 2021 theme version so you can manually carry them over to your updated 2025 theme version.

Customizing the theme to be right-to-left and adding third party app code and customizations does introduce a lot of additional complexity. However, our support team has been helping you with each of your questions as they come up and please let us know if there is any additional help you may need by replying to your open ticket so we can do our best to help out.
