Importing a theme
Whatever the method, the process remains the same: indicate the location of the theme's Zip archive, then click "Next".

Import from your computer: using the the file explorer to find the archive. |
A quick summary is displayed in the next page.
Click "Next" again to validate your choice. The theme is now installed, and PrestaShop asks you if you wish to install modules that were imported along with the theme, what you'd rather do with the current modules configuration, and how you'd like the images configuration to be taken into account.
Click "Next" one last time. A final confirmation page presents you with all the changes applied to your PrestaShop install. Click "Finish" to end the process.
Exporting a theme
Once at least one theme has been important into your PrestaShop install, a new section appears in the "Import/Export a theme" module configuration page.
Select a theme and click on "Export this theme". A configuration form appears, where you can set the exported themes parameters: author, modules, theme name, compatibility version, etc.
Once all the parameters are correctly set, click on "Generate the archive now". You will quickly get a file to download from your browser. Save it on your hard-drive, then give the save file a proper name. From there on, you can easily share this theme, and if it's your own creation, you can start selling it on PrestaShop's Addons website!

Modules & Themes Catalog
PrestaShop comes bundled with a host of modules, but even that number might seem limiting, or you could want to explore other directions.
There are many more modules available on the PrestaShop Addons website. Some are free, other are for-pay, and you're sure to find something that suits your needs! Once you are a seasoned developer/themer, you can even submit your own creations, and sell them on Addons!
The "Modules & Themes Catalog" gives you a quick and easy access to the Addons database of modules and themes. A search query will return the 5 first results from Addons, with more available if you click on the "View all results on addons.prestashop.com" link.
My Account
PrestaShop also enables you to access your Addons account right from the back-office.
Log-in using the form on "My Account" sub-tab, and get access to all your Addons details.
Themes
The "Themes" sub-tab enables you to quickly customize the current theme: header logo, mail logo, invoice logo, favicon, store icon and even the navigation pipe can be easily modified from there.
From this sub-tab, you can also choose to use another theme (if you have more than one installed).
