Taiga Shopify Theme Help: Woolman Theme Setup, Updates and Code

Woolman's themes come with plenty of settings. These jobs sit outside them.

Reapplying code after an update. Woolman's guide is plain: custom code changes, including ones made by a third-party or app developer, won't move to the updated version on their own. Someone carries them across on the new copy before you publish, which is routine theme customization work.

Custom Liquid sections. Taiga includes a Custom liquid section for small snippets. Anything bigger, such as a new product page layout, belongs with custom theme developers.

Brand fonts and CSS. Taiga's docs cover custom CSS inputs and adding custom fonts. Styling past the settings is a quick job for someone who uses those inputs rather than editing core files.

Detailed product pages. Taiga lists ingredients or nutritional information, size charts and a Price transparency section. Filling them the same way across a catalog takes a plan.

Mega menu builds. Taiga's docs cover mega menu setup and badges as menu items, and Sampo lists a mega menu with images and promos. A big catalog needs the menu mapped before anyone builds it.

Woolman's help comes first. Theme Store buyers are eligible for Woolman support, and its help pages carry full Taiga and Sampo docs plus a beta AI assistant. Settings questions belong there.

General Shopify skill covers most of this work. These questions show whether someone has actually read Woolman's docs.

Ask how they'd run your next update. The answer should match Woolman's guide: duplicate the live theme, add the update to the theme library, reapply custom code by hand, check home, product and collection pages, then publish.

Ask where custom styling will go. Taiga has custom CSS inputs. A developer who uses them, or keeps changes in clearly marked files, makes every later update cheaper.

Ask for a running change log. Code doesn't carry over between versions, so every edit needs writing down to be reapplied. Without a log you pay for the same work twice.

Ask which preset they'd start from. Bubbly, Meadow and Hehku are Taiga presets; Mighty, Resonance and Carry belong to Sampo. Starting from the closest one saves design hours.

Where a quote falls apart. Edits made straight on the live theme. No plan for the next update. Custom code proposed for something a Taiga section already does, such as a countdown timer or before/after slider.

One section, one log. Pay for a single custom section on a duplicate theme, plus the written list of changes you'd need to reapply after an update.

Taiga and Sampo, three presets each. Taiga costs $500 and Sampo $390 on the Theme Store as of October 2026, and the presets sell at their parent theme's price.

Release history. Taiga 8.1.0 came out on June 25, 2026. Sampo 5.0.0 dates from December 2, 2025.

Updates arrive as separate themes. An update is added to your theme library as its own theme and goes live only when you publish it. Custom code doesn't come with it, and Woolman notes some updates need extra steps.

Taiga's toolset. Before/after slider, image hotspots, lookbooks, ingredients or nutritional information, a size chart, stock counter, countdown timer, in-store pickup, mega menu and swatch filters.

Sampo's toolset. Quick buy, a sticky cart, pre-orders, sign in with Shop and combined listings for Shopify Plus stores, among 47 listed features. The Theme Store lists it as a one-time payment for a lifetime license.

Language packs. Both themes list EU translations in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

Who gets support. Woolman's support page ties eligibility to buying the theme on the Shopify Theme Store.

Docs depth. Taiga's documentation covers setup, theme settings, header and footer, close to 30 section guides including Custom liquid and an AI section, and advanced topics such as custom CSS inputs.
