Tell Cartly Command what you want to change in your storefront, such as a dark header, a sticky header, a FAQ section or a low-stock message, and it makes the change on an AI draft of your theme. Every change passes the automatic theme check before you see it, you review the code and a before/after preview, and your live store changes only when you publish.
Most theme changes a store owner wants are small: a darker header, rounder buttons, a line under the price, a FAQ on the home page. Until now each one meant hunting for a setting, learning Liquid, or waiting for a developer. Starting today you describe the change to Cartly Command in your own words, and it makes the change for you.
Open your theme in the visual editor or the code editor and open Cartly Command with its button or ⌘J (Ctrl+J on Windows). Command knows which theme you are in, which page template you are looking at, and the section or file you have open. Type what you want the way you would say it to a designer, in the language you work in; the plan and the summary come back in the same language.
Not sure where something lives? Ask. “Where do I change the logo, and what size should the image be?” gets an answer in the chat, and nothing in your theme changes.
Command answers a change request with a task card: the goal in your words, a short plan of two to four steps, and an estimate of the most the task can use, shown as a share of your monthly AI credits. Nothing is changed until you click Run. Put text you want shown word for word, such as a new footer line, in quotes: Command keeps it as written, and the theme check flags quoted text that shows up altered on the page. Check it in the preview before you publish.
When you click Run, Cartly makes a copy of your theme named <your theme> — AI draft, and the editor moves to it. Shoppers keep seeing your live theme the whole time. The card shows the progress: studying the theme, writing files, checking the theme, fixing what the check found. You can stop the task at any time (it ends after the current step) or close the tab; the task keeps running, and the card picks up where it was when you come back.
Before a change is offered to you, it must pass the automatic theme check you can also run with Check theme in the code editor, with stricter rules for AI changes. A change that fails is fixed by the AI or thrown away. The check makes sure that:
When the task finishes, the card shows a short summary of what changed and where to look, the files it created or changed, and the credits it used. From there:
Want more? Ask for the next change. It goes into the same draft, and you can still edit the draft yourself in either editor.
While you are on the AI draft, the editor shows a banner with a Publish draft button. Publishing runs the theme check once more, saves a restore point, and makes the draft your store's theme. Your original theme stays in your theme library, unchanged. If the original theme has edits the draft does not have, the publish dialog tells you: those edits stay in the original.
Changed your mind? The publish dialog links to the Version history of the theme that was live before; restoring the version saved before the switch makes it your store's theme again. Version history also keeps a version from before each AI change you accept.
Some things are not part of a theme, and Command says so instead of guessing: payment methods and the checkout, apps, and changes to your products or other store data. It also does not add third-party tracking scripts or widgets to your theme.
AI theme editing runs on the monthly AI credits included in every paid plan: 200 on Starter, 500 on Growth, 2,000 on Pro and 7,000 on Enterprise, also during the free trial. Cartly sets the estimate on the task card aside while the task runs, charges only what it actually used, and returns the rest. A stopped or unfinished task costs only the steps it already did. See the pricing page for plans and AI credits in your plan for how the balance works.
Go to Online Store → Themes, open a theme in the editor, and tell Command what to change. The step-by-step guide is Editing your theme with Cartly Command, and every change in this release is in the changelog.
