# Themes now use one industry tag for better search results

DateOctober 3, 2025

FlagsUpdate

SurfacesShopify Theme Store

The Theme Store has simplified its categorization process by assigning only one industry tag per theme, effective immediately. As a result, all secondary industry tags have been automatically removed.

Your theme's primary industry tag now serves as its sole industry classification. Choose the industry that best matches:

* The main product types showcased in your demo store
* Your intended target merchant audience

This will make it easier for merchants to browse and find themes tailored to their specific industry needs.

You can review your current primary industry tag in the Partner Dashboard.
