Choosing a Shopify Theme - Free vs Premium vs 3rd Party

Рет қаралды 7,291

Күн бұрын

A common question from beginners is whether they should use a free theme, whether it is worth getting a premium theme, or whether should they try a 3rd party theme, which seems a lot cheaper than the official premium themes on the Shopify theme store.
In this video, I discuss the pros and cons and the main aspects of each type of theme.

Great breakdown Ed - couldn't agree more than most free themes are all Dawn under the hood!

I think Shopify won't allow Themes that consume data from a backend other than Shopify's in their marketplace. So 3rd-party themes can offer features (ie Wishlist) to their theme that themes in the Shopify marketplace can't offer. Is that correct?

Hey Ed, thanks for sharing your knowledge! What do you think about Debutify?

@EdCodes 3 ай бұрын

I don't have much experience with Debutify, so I can't judge. But it has a well-paying affiliate program and many huge influencers promoting it. So I am skeptical.

Thanks heaps for this Ed. Very grateful for you time! One question please......If I started with a basic Dawn theme and loaded it up with products and a moderate amount of features and customizations, then later..., is it a complex and complicated process to transfer all that I built on Dawn to a premium theme and keeping at least most of the layout intact? Or, is such a transfer basically starting from scratch all over again with the new premium theme? Thanks so much kind SIr! :)

i assume you only keep the products and other settings. but layout wise you gotta do it from scratch. tbh doesnt look like alot of work to me as u keep ur collections and everything. Point is, it would be impossible to import stuff between different themes since they would be non compatible with each other

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply Sir. Since i asked this question, I decided to go with the Broadcast premium theme, and just stay with it so don't have to worry about changing/transferring it all later again. Thanks heaps for your kind consideration!@@zuhaibzulfiqar2956

Great video as always. I have a question about buying the domain from Shopify vs Go Daddy, Namecheap etc. Which is the best option overall?:) Maybe in the future you can make a video like this with all the pros and cons.

Photography. The best way to make any design pop is having really nice images, both product and lifestyle.
