WordPress is a great platform for setting up an online store, and there is a wide range of themes available to help sellers reach target customers. This post presents 20 of the best ecommerce themes, including both free and premium examples, covering storefront templates aimed at a variety of niche markets.
1. Store
The Store template is a great ecommerce WordPress theme, with a really good-looking and functional interface; it’s easy-to install and maintain with accessible backend administration. The theme’s creators are available for pre-sales questions and customer support.

This premium WordPress theme offers users the chance to create an online auction or reverse auction website. Whether its cars or bikes, books or antiques, once the easy-to-use theme is setup traders can auction any kind of property online.

Market Theme transforms any WordPress into a fully operational online store. In its default setup the theme has the look and feel of a regular blog, but there are many options to customise the design including the choice of a grid-view shop front to showcase products.

This bright and friendly theme is a great way to present products aimed at children and, more importantly, their parents. The colourful and functional shop front is supported with backend administration and all the necessary ecommerce features.

Tom Walker writes for a UK based ecommerce store offering a range of ink next day. He is the lead editor of their blog about design, art and advertising.
Would be more useful if it was written if the theme is free or “premium”. Takes time to check everyone!
I can confirm this. I went through several “premium” ones and found nothing.
11, 12 & 13 seem to no longer be available. Links redirect to Templatic.com, where those themes are nowhere to be found.
Thanks a lot for this very useful post.
It’s cool! I really love this article.
Can anyone recommend a good plugin to add products to one of these sites instead of having to add each product manually?
Do you mean importing them to your database? While there are a lot of themes and a lot of plug-ins to make WordPress become a e-commerce platform, I personally think WordPress is not suited for e-commerce stores because it lacks a lot of features such as importing, attributes, report and so on. You should use Magento instead.
I had a client that needed a wordpress site to sell baby shoes. I spent over 5 hours online looking for a good template with no luck.
I had to hire someone to create the whole thing from scratch which cost a lot of money and the profits were lower than expected.
The major problem I found was the payment integration. Most of those templates work great until you need to integrate the payment and the inventory system.
Some of the first themes are nice. However, some of the last themes are too simple and only suited for small stores.
What’s wrong with a small store? They aren’t “too” anything. It just depends on your needs and there is nothing wrong with using wp for ecommerce. Once again, it depends on what a person needs.
thanks for listing AppCLoud, im in honor 🙂
but we have more than AppCLoud, there is Kelontong (AppCloud in dark colour) and Dangdoot for music genre 🙂

These WP themes are really nice. I’m thinking about opening an ecommerce website, but I’m not really sure that WP is the best CMS for that. So, I’m thinking… 🙂
The number 1 entry – “Store” has proven to be a nightmare for me. I usually design in Dreamweaver, so it’s been a real shock that there’s not an ounce of intuitive design going on here. Perhaps a code warriors’ dream – not mine. Also – tech support is sending an email and getting a ticket that says they’re working on. Templatic – you kinda blow.
Nice WordPress Theme on Ecommerce collection there. Save me a of time to choose.
If you have some bucks to spend, I highly recommend to buy one of the premium themes. They are much more powerful, flexible and have great support to answer your questions. Check out my review Top premium WordPress themes
You can also turn just about any WordPress theme into an e-commerce store using the PHPurchase Ecommerce WordPress plugin. You can sell digital products, physical products, recurring billing, subscriptions, etc. PHPurchase even has membership management features so you can have some content only available to members with active subscriptions. Here is a link to find out more about PHPurchase WordPress Ecommerce plugin
