WordPress TutorialAre you planning to set up an online store?

The WordPress developer community not only makes great plugins for e-Commerce available to WP users, but there are also lots of great web templates for WordPress that you can use to easily set up and run your online store.

In this blog post, we’ll show you where to find some of the most professionally-designed and beautiful themes for selling products or services online with WordPress.

Best eCommerce Themes For WordPress

info

When searching for web site templates for online shops there are some points to keep in mind:

Theme Style

As well as looking for a versatile theme for your web store, you will want the theme to have a clean layout and be fairly easy to edit and customize, so it can be used for any type of store you have in mind (e.g. fashion store, selling electronic products online, home design store, etc).

eCommerce Functionality

In many cases, much of the e-Commerce functionality in your web shop will come from the plugins you choose to power your eCommerce site.

As you will see, however, a number of eCommerce themes also come with additional options and settings that can enhance your website’s eCommerce capabilities and help you provide a better online shopping experience for your site visitors without requiring you to install extra plugins.

This can include the ability to control your store’s overall colour scheme without editing template code, toggle theme features on and off, adjust your store layout easily, global banner advertising management, optimizing product names, categories and descriptions for search engines, shortcodes and more.

Easy Shopping Cart And Checkout Integration

Most professional-quality eCommerce themes provide easy shopping cart setup with various payment processing merchants and solutions, allowing you to accept various forms of payment online (e.g. credit cards, PayPal, 2Checkout, etc.) and start taking orders online without having to go through complex technical implementation processes or delays.

Responsive Theme Design

A responsive theme allows websites to automatically readjust screen size to display smoothly across different screen sizes and resolutions, as well as different platforms.

We have written a detailed article about the importance of choosing responsive themes for WordPress here:

Support

If you plan to sell products or services online, there are many unexpected things that can go wrong with the eCommerce process itself. The last thing you want to have to go through when dealing with irritable or even angry customers is to be using a theme that is causing problems and you can’t get someone to get the issue fixed.

For this reason, we strongly encourage you to carefully consider choosing themes that offer support and regular updates when searching for a theme for your online shop. Often, you have a better chance of getting updates and support from paid theme developers, than by using a free template.

With these points in mind, let’s now take a look at a number of WordPress web templates you can use to set up a web store that will keep visitors coming back to buy products from your website:
