Want to create a stylish ecommerce website using WordPress but don't know which theme to choose?
In this guide, we'll look at some of the best ecommerce WordPress themes around to help you choose one that suits your needs.
Bear in mind that although WordPress is great for ecommerce, you'll need to install an ecommerce plugin first. The most popular WordPress ecommerce plugin is Woo Commerce, and all the themes in this article are compatible with it.
Electro ecommerce theme
If you're selling electrical goods of any description, the Electro theme is well worth your consideration.
It's responsive, which means it looks great no matter what device your customers are using.
Electro also comes with comprehensive support documents and video tutorials, so you can learn how to get the most out of the theme.
You can see a live preview of Electro here.
Flatsome ecommerce theme
Flatsome bills itself as a multi-purpose ecommerce theme, so it's worth a look no matter what kind of product you're selling.
The standout features of Flatsome include great loading speeds and compatibility with WordPress's new Gutenberg editor, which means you can create even better looking layouts for your site.

Rife Free ecommerce theme
Rife Free is our second free theme in this guide and although it's basic, it will still let you get your shop online.
Rife Free works best with just a handful of products, so it's great if you're running a small store, or are planning to start small before expanding.

Shop Isle ecommerce theme
Shop Isle is the last of the free ecommerce themes we'll look at in this guide. Like the others, it doesn't offer many bells and whistles, but it still gives you a cheap way to set up a nice-looking ecommerce site.
Its photo-friendly nature makes it especially suitable for fashion retailers.

WooVina ecommerce theme
WooVina is an exceedingly versatile ecommerce theme and although it does offer a free version, to make the most of it you'll probably want to consider one of the paid options.
One of the biggest selling points of WooVina is that it offers a range of "child themes", which are aimed at serving particular business niches.
This, plus the customization options, mean that you can get your site looking exactly how you want it.
