Start a flash event and your store's theme changes immediately. Pick a theme, set a duration (from 15 minutes to 24 hours), and you're live. When the timer runs out, your original theme is automatically restored.

Perfect for:

  • Live events — Switch to a special theme during a stream or launch
  • Quick tests — Preview a theme on your live store for a short period
