How to setup Tailwind CSS with Shopify themes
If you’re looking to give your Shopify theme a modern and stylish makeover, then Tailwind CSS could be the perfect solution for you. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to set up Tailwind CSS with your Shopify theme to create a beautiful and responsive website.
Step 1: Install Tailwind CSS
The first step is to install Tailwind CSS into your theme. You can do this by accessing your theme files in the Shopify admin panel and adding the Tailwind CSS CDN link to your theme’s <head> section.
Step 2: Create a custom stylesheet
After installing Tailwind CSS, you’ll want to create a custom stylesheet to apply your own styles and modifications. You can create a new file in your theme’s assets folder and call it custom.css. In this file, you can define your custom styles and also import Tailwind CSS classes to use in your theme’s HTML.
Step 3: Apply Tailwind CSS classes to your HTML
Now that you have your custom stylesheet set up, you can start applying Tailwind CSS classes to your theme’s HTML elements. For example, you can use Tailwind CSS classes to create responsive layouts, stylish buttons, and beautiful typography in your Shopify theme.
Step 4: Customize your theme’s design
With Tailwind CSS set up, you have full control over the design and layout of your Shopify theme. You can easily customize the colors, fonts, and spacings to create a unique and professional-looking website for your online store.
Step 5: Test and optimize for performance
Once you have applied Tailwind CSS to your Shopify theme, it’s important to test and optimize your website for performance. Make sure to run tests on different devices and browsers to ensure that your theme looks great and loads quickly for all visitors.
Conclusion
Setting up Tailwind CSS with Shopify themes can be a great way to give your online store a fresh and modern look. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create a stunning and responsive website that will impress your customers and help boost your online sales.

at 15:50 can you just add this script `npm run shopify:dev && npm run watch` instead of using that third party package to run multiple scripts?
Why do you prefer vite over the default tailwind install via tailwind CLI?
you saved my life, thank you
I don't get it, what's the benefit ?
I think the strong thing about tailwind is its utility classes that can be outputted depending on your usage only, so if you use only 10 classes, it'll output only those 10 classes for you to work.
But with the way i saw it in the video, you built it before adding any style? meaning you sent a predefined CSS that'll always get outputted no matter what you add, right?
So my question is what's the benefit? be it a performance decision or dev experience decision, can you elaborate on why this can be useful?
Youness, Great video, thank you! Well, there are some areas that are in conflict, such as the grid, how did you solve them? For example, it can be seen from the video that the grid structure below is broken.
