Introducing Ecomus 2.0 – Total Overhaul with Theme Block Support

We’re excited to officially announce a major update to our best-selling Shopify theme – Ecomus 2.0 is now live on ThemeForest!
This is not just a regular update. Ecomus 2.0 is a completely re-engineered version of the theme, rebuilt from the ground up to support Shopify’s new Theme Blocks – a powerful change in Shopify’s core architecture that brings more flexibility and a better customization experience for merchants.
🧱 What Are Shopify Theme Blocks?
In case you missed it, Shopify Theme Blocks is a game-changing new feature introduced by Shopify. It allows merchants to add apps and features directly into sections and blocks – without writing code or manually editing Liquid templates. It's the future of theme customization, and we’ve integrated full support in Ecomus 2.0.
⚠️ Important Note: Ecomus 2.0 is NOT Backward-Compatible with Ecomus 1.9
We know this might come as a surprise, but you cannot directly upgrade from Ecomus 1.9 to 2.0 – and this is not a limitation from us, The4 Team.
📌 This is due to Shopify’s core system change, which makes the new Theme Block structure incompatible with older versions of Shopify themes.
Because of this major change:
- Ecomus 2.0 uses a completely new theme architecture.
- Settings, sections, layouts, and configurations from Ecomus 1.9 will not carry over.
- You’ll need to rebuild and reconfigure your store’s layout when moving from 1.9 to 2.0.
We totally understand that this might be frustrating, and we truly wish we could offer a one-click upgrade, but this change is required by Shopify's new theme framework.
🧑💻 Want a Quick Migration from 1.9 to 2.0? We Can Help!
If you’re currently using Ecomus 1.9 and want to move quickly to Ecomus 2.0 without starting from scratch, our team offers a paid migration service.

🧑🔧 Still Using Ecomus 1.9? Don’t Worry – We’re Still Supporting It!
To support all of our users, we’re continuing to develop and maintain Ecomus 1.9.x. That means:
- You’ll still receive bug fixes, improvements, and support for Ecomus 1.9.
- We’ve included both Ecomus 1.9.x and Ecomus 2.0 in your theme package when you download from ThemeForest.
So whether you want to stay on 1.9 for now or start fresh with 2.0 – you have both options available to you.
🚀 Ecomus 2.0 Still Supports One-Click Demo Import with EcomRise
