# theme package

Packages your local theme files into a ZIP file that can be uploaded to Shopify.

Only folders that match the [default Shopify theme folder structure](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/tools/cli#directory-structure) are included in the package.

The package includes the `listings` directory if present (required for multi-preset themes per [Theme Store requirements](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/store/requirements#adding-presets-to-your-theme-zip-submission)).

The ZIP file uses the name `theme_name-theme_version.zip`, based on parameters in your [settings\_schema.json](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/config/settings-schema-json) file.
