Testing & Previewing

Learn how to test and preview your themes during development.

The recommended way to develop and preview Liquid themes locally is the Theme Development Kit. It runs a local server that renders your theme with real store data and supports hot reload, so you can edit templates, assets, and config and see changes immediately without deploying.

  1. Install the Theme Development Kit.
  2. Follow Getting started to authenticate and run finqu-theme-dev serve (or use finqu theme dev from the CLI).
  3. Open the local URL in your browser and iterate on your theme; the kit uses live data from your Finqu store.

Using the kit gives you a production-like preview, full Liquid and asset support, and avoids repeated uploads during development. When you’re ready, deploy your theme with the CLI (finqu theme deploy) or through the Finqu admin.
