# Theme Testing

Shoplift offers a robust theme testing feature that empowers merchants to test two themes against one another. Theme tests allow you to test changes to elements that appear across your entire website, like navigation menus, mini carts/cart drawers, new apps, or entirely new themes that introduce major design or functionality overhauls to your online store's core experience.

To learn more about theme testing, explore the documentation below.
