Help! WP theme for Store or Shopping Catalog

MikeStronghill · 02-28-2011, 05:18 PM

Hi, I have looked through the forum for a:

1) WordPress Theme that I can have a store on, or shopping catelog
2) Willing to pay for it,
3) Wanting a quality theme that is easy to make changes on.
4) A theme that is known and offers support and upgrades and will be around in the future.
5) Will be able to add a plugin for the shopping cart portion to check out.

Like I say, I have looked for this on the forum and haven't found something for all of the above.

Any suggestions that anyone can make would be Great Appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Check out ShopperPress, I think that might fit your requirements.

I checked them out and they looked great. Have you purchased and used these themes? I would love to know how complicated or easy to use they are.

There is also Wordpress Shopping Cart - Wordpress Ecommerce - Market Theme

I used this for a friend of mine who is a teacher in charge of running a school store where they sell merchandise and take orders online.

It isn't the flashiest out there, but they liked it. Partially because of some of the PRACTICAL options it gave them. They needed to be able to have different sizes in drop-down boxes...plus something we found difficult to find - a way to make "Pick-Up" an option with a shipping cost of $0.

ThemeForest has a few themes that we looked at too....

We almost used this one instead - WordPress - Sofa Shoppr - WP3.0+ Webshop Theme - ThemeForest

Looked at this one - WordPress - Viroshop - Professional Ecommerce Theme - ThemeForest

Also....How committed to WordPress are you?

ThemeForest has some excellent Magento, Shopify, Open Cart, osCommerce, and X-Cart themes/skins.

For example....for Magento - eCommerce - DeepBlue Magento theme - ThemeForest

I havn't yet, its on my list, but Mark seems to get high reviews with the theme. It's constantly updated, great documentation, including videos, support and here's a kicker for you. Get it for $20 more off on this WSO. You can also get some more feedback there on that thread as well.

Hope that helps.

No problem...Went thru the process of finding the right options not too long ago.

We were actually intrigued by what Shopify had to offer, but the guy I was helping didn't want to deal with the monthly fees for a site run by a school. So we went with the cheaper option, which was Market Theme.
