# Submit theme

> Submit a theme to the Shoplazza Theme Store through the Partner Dashboard, and see what happens when the review team asks for changes before approval.

When you submit a theme to the Shoplazza Theme Store, Shoplazza’s theme review team reviews your theme to make sure that it meets our [Theme Store requirements](../requirements). If your theme meets our requirements, then it's considered for approval.

If your theme is missing any of the requirements in the list, then your submission will be rejected and you will need to make further changes to your theme before it can be resubmitted.

If your theme requires major changes that prevent us from reviewing it, then you receive an email  with the required changes. After you make the required changes to your theme, you can re-submit the updated version through your Partner Dashboard.

To reduce your chance of rejection, you should **test your theme** thoroughly. We've outlined some [common reasons](./common-rejections) why themes are rejected during the review process. Review this list so that you can avoid these issues in your own submission.

## What to expect from Shoplazza when you submit your theme

After you submit your theme for review, Shoplazza’s theme review team tests your theme to ensure that it meets [Shoplazza’s Theme Store requirements](../requirements) before your theme can be approved.

If your theme submission doesn't meet our [requirements](../requirements), then your theme is rejected and you're notified by email with the required changes. 

:::warning
If you resubmit your theme without addressing the reasons why it was rejected, then you could be temporarily suspended from submitting themes to the Shoplazza Theme Store.
:::

After the theme review team has fully reviewed your theme and ensured that it meets all of Shoplazza’s requirements, you can list your theme on the Shoplazza Theme Store.

:::note
When a theme is submitted for review, we expect that the theme has been built following our requirements and has been fully tested for issues and bugs.
