Are Shopify Free Themes Worth It?



Yes, Shopify free themes are worth it for businesses with a small budget and for those that are just getting started with the Shopify/eCommerce world.

However, if you are looking for more custom features and designs, consider investing in a premium Shopify theme. Premium themes offer more flexibility, making it easier to customize the look and feel of your Shopify store.

It is essential for you to understand that using a free theme only becomes worth it if you understand how to add value to a theme. This includes, but is not exclusive to, adding images, and functionality.

Before going down the free theme route, understand what can and cannot be performed with your desired theme.

You must really evaluate your own skill set to determine whether it’s worth it or not. Our advice is to experiment first.

Use the Shopify free trial, install a free theme, map out, and implement your desired features, and processes. If you’re confident, then it’s fair to assume that a free theme is worth it to you.
