As a full-on multipurpose WordPress theme, TheGem can be used for so much more than an online store. It features over 400 full demo websites with 14 exclusively made for creating an online store. That being said, almost all of its other demos can also accommodate a store if you want something different.

The demos are quite diverse with tech gadgets, furniture, lifestyle items, and fashion setups. TheGem is also one of the better themes out there when it comes to maintaining high standards across many demos.

As you may expect, just about every eCommerce feature or element is built-in, and the WPBakery page builder ships for free along with the theme. The mobile experience is very solid. With everything baked into it, TheGem still delivers relatively decent performance.

Additional business WordPress theme reviews

Below are the WordPress eCommerce themes that made the top 21, but missed out on our top 3 spots.

Nexio is at the same time a super stylish, super modern, and super practical eCommerce theme. While it’s just a single theme, it comes with over 20 distinct home page designs, a great selection of category and product page layouts, and numerous pre-designed header and footer styles.

This will give you a decent amount of freedom to put together your online store. The look and feel of Nexio is in line with contemporary and accessible fashion brands like H&M. Product listings come with very useful quick tools, even allowing you to change the color variation. The neat layout means pages can support a lot of information without feeling overwhelming.

As you might guess, this farm-fresh theme is aimed at those working in the produce industry. As the name suggests, its design is best suited to small businesses like organic farms or food stores. With plenty of white space, green elements as well as demo content consisting of glistening fruit, there is no better word to describe this theme than “fresh”.

The theme also features plenty of scrolling and hover animations to make it feel lively and interactive. The category pages are excellent with neat designs and plenty of filtering mechanisms. The product pages leave nothing to be desired either. You also get WPBakery and Slider Revolution for free which is great value for money.

The performance doesn’t disappoint with above-average page loading times. However, some of the demos do have some small issues when viewed on mobile.

Shopkeeper is an ultra-modern, ultra suave, and ultra-capable eCommerce theme. The product listing pages are exceptionally functional with color and size selectors, rating displays, hover states, and quick view buttons. If that wasn’t enough, there are also a variety of category layouts to choose from.

The product pages also leave nothing out and there are a number of unique designs not easily found elsewhere. To top it off, the diverse collection of demos for everything from women’s fashion to men’s grooming are all incredibly stylish with bold sans serif fonts and superb demo content.

The portfolio layouts are also pretty extensive, and while the blog is more basic, the designs are still awesome. The mobile responsive design is pretty good but the top bar is a bit small. Similarly, the performance is just about average.

With around 40 different full eCommerce demos, you can use Basel as the starting point for just about any online store in any niche you can think of. From fashion to medical equipment to wine – Baseljust about has it all. Each demo has also been styled distinctly for its niche with different fonts, colors, and demo content.

The designs might not be the most exciting, but they are all still attractive and well thought out. Both the category and individual product pages come with all the features you would expect of a proper eCommerce theme. There are also many blog and portfolio layouts and elements, making it a very complete product.

Unfortunately, the performance of this theme is subpar, particularly on mobile devices, but the mobile responsiveness itself is fantastic.

With over 17 homepage layouts, 5 shop page styles, 7 product page layouts, and 4 blog styles, QOS provides just enough customizability while still being easy to use. The designs are minimal, clean, and feature pastel colors for a modern, yet sophisticated look and feel.

The demos also make use of plenty of animations and hover states so it has a very dynamic feel. The shopping experience is very complete with filters, sorting criteria, and quick tools like view, compare, and add to cart. QOS also features a simple blog, but not a portfolio. The Elementor page builder is included with the theme.

Despite its lightweight appearance, the page loading times are pretty lackluster. However, the superb mobile experience feels completely tailor-made for smaller screens.

Savoy is an elegant theme dripping with Norse Minimalism. It seems the perfect theme for the simple, yet elegant type of lifestyle and home products shown in the demo content. A touch of color from the demo content and links add a bit of quirkiness to the look and feel.

It comes with a great slide-down filter and search tool for category pages. And, the product pages are simple, yet attractive in their own way. Although it’s not the most extensive theme in terms of variations, it does come with all the basics like a blog, portfolio, and an FAQ.

Much like its appearance, Savoy is as light as a feather with incredibly fast page loading times. Although it’s not necessarily exceptional, the mobile version of the site fits well on smaller screens.

Next up is Monstroid2, another massive multipurpose WordPress theme. You’ll struggle to find a better selection of templates to choose from with over 300+ designs that are all high-quality and distinctive. Another 500+ predesigned sections mean you will have amazing flexibility when building out your site, without complicating the process.

Monstroid2 also comes with the Elementor page builder as well as a number of extensions with extra elements. Needless to say, you won’t be lacking in any features. However, the default shop pages could do with more interesting designs and some animations.

Monstroid talks big about it being a lightweight theme, and they seem to have kept to their word with above-average performance. Generally, Monstroid’s mobile responsiveness is good although there is the occasional bug.

A general-purpose WordPress theme – eCommerce is not Infinite’s primary focus. Still, Infinite comes with 5 templates made specifically with WooCommerce in mind which includes fashion, beauty, pet, and furniture stores. Infinite also comes with its own beginner-friendly builder, V3, as well as a number of paid plugins for free.

Infinite’s built-in online store covers all of the basics, but it’s not the most feature-rich. We also don’t particularly like the fact that you can’t click product images from the category pages. Still, the layouts are neat, well-designed, and professional. Since it’s a multi-purpose theme, you can also add a decent blog, portfolio, and other website pages to your store.

Generally, the mobile experience on Infinite is pretty good although nothing stands out. It also has above average page loading times on both desktop and mobile.

Jevelin is another extensive multipurpose WordPress theme. Although it doesn’t feature many eCommerce-specific demos in its template library, with pricing tables and a single product demo, it’s perfect for selling digital services or something like an app or flagship product.

From a design perspective, Jevelin rarely puts a foot wrong with engaging, modern, and easy to use designs. There are also some interesting loading and scrolling animations, although there could be more hover states. The shopping experience might not be the most in-depth, but it’s decent with full support for WooCommerce. The theme also comes with some other premium plugins like Slider Revolution and WP Bakery.

Unfortunately, this theme’s performance is a bit of a letdown. However, the mobile shopping experience is among the best on this list.

Ultra by Themify is another extremely popular multipurpose theme. On top of around 30 full website demos, it also features a tonne of other page layouts that you can mix and match. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide many shop or eCommerce-specific options, although it does integrate seamlessly with WooCommerce. Ultra’s designs are also not the most exciting, although they do provide a very user-friendly experience for visitors.

Ultra is a flexible theme with plenty of pre-designed header, background, footer, and blog layouts. The Ultra page builder is also one of the most powerful page builders around and still relatively fun and easy to use.

Ultra’s mobile responsive design is usually faultless. However, it just clocks average page loading speeds, so there is some room for improvement.

Atelier is a beautifully made WordPress theme with a very modern, minimalist design. The pages also feel exceptionally organized and easy to scroll through with neatly organized content. It feels like the well-thought-out result of an expert Tetris player, even more so because of the handy hover states and product sliders on category pages.

The product pages are also complete with next or previous product toggles, galleries, product description boxes, and all the other usual features. Banners, separate cart styles, numerous category layouts, and distinct demos for different types of online stores complete its eCommerce features.

It’s also a very complete multipurpose theme with blog, portfolio, FAQ, and other layouts. Unfortunately, Atelier does fall a bit flat when it comes to performance while the mobile responsiveness is nothing out of the ordinary.

Avada is an extensive multipurpose WordPress theme with 65 full website demos, over 70 design elements, 8 different section layouts, and 6 free premium plugins like Slider Revolution, the Fusion Builder, and more. The theme also comes with a comprehensive theme options panel to adjust a myriad of styles and settings to fine-tune the look and feel of your website.

The designs are pretty diverse and generally quite good. There are few eCommerce specific templates, but Avada fully supports WooCommerce and you can easily add and design a store with any template. It even features dedicated WooCommerce theme options and design elements.

Unfortunately, all of this content does seem to weigh Avada down somewhat with pretty poor performance scores. On the upside, Avada does provide a very pleasant mobile shopping experience.

Urna is a multi-vendor marketplace theme that covers just about every retail niche you can dream up with over 30 full eCommerce demos. While it’s one of the most diverse shop themes with toys, sportswear, and a very Amazon-Esque marketplace, the quality of the designs vary.

Urna is one of the most generous themes with around $228 in extras, including WP Bakery, Revolution Slider, Elementor, and WooCommerce Product Filters. It’s also an extensive theme in terms of eCommerce features, filters, and elements.

Urna takes mobile eCommerce seriously with a tailor-made mobile shopping experience. Unfortunately, not nearly the same amount of work hasn’t gone into its performance.

With over 480 full website and 76 shop demos, Bridge has one of the most extensive template libraries. Period. With such a huge collection, it’s not surprising that not all designs are on point, however, most are still attractive and niche-appropriate. Bridge also comes with an extensive selection of layout variations and you definitely won’t have any shortage of starting points to choose from.

Add on to that the huge number of visual elements, free premium plugins like Revolution Slider, Elementor, and WP Bakery, as well as header, blog, and portfolio layouts, and you’ve got your hands full with everything you need to build any eCommerce website you want.

Bridge’s mobile shopping experience is solid, if not exceptional. Unfortunately, it’s page loading times come in at just below average for this list.

With 12 homepage layouts, a few blog, about and, contact page variations, and a large variety of shop layouts, Merchandiser strikes a good balance between flexibility and ease of use when building your website. Overall, the designs are minimal, yet beautifully designed with some unique visuals.

The shop comes with all the features you would expect in terms of quick tools, filters, and more. There is even a toggle to change the product listing size for easier viewing. Although almost all the demo content centers around lifestyle and home furniture, the theme will easily transform to any other niche with your own content.

Unfortunately, Merchandiser is in need of some optimization with pretty poor performance scores. That being said, it’s hard to find anything to complain about when it comes to mobile browsing.

Neto is an eCommerce theme aimed specifically at those in the fashion industry from CSSIgniter. The design and layout of the site are fairly straightforward. However, it does feature a number of handy sliders to make browsing items a bit more interactive, although there could also be more hover states and animations to make it feel more alive.

One of the great features about this theme when building out your website is all the design options it adds to the customizer, allowing you to quickly and easily change the style and colors of elements. There is also a tonne of ready-made elements and different product types.

In terms of performance, this theme could do with a bit more work as it’s loading times are sluggish. While it isn’t fantastic, the mobile responsiveness leaves nothing to complain about.

eLab is unique in this list in that it’s a template specifically made for a multi-vendor electronics marketplace. It’s definitely not the most versatile theme on this list, but it has a definite purpose and pulls it off very competently.

The look and feel is undeniably modern and user friendly with large, san serif fonts, hover states, animations, and a highly organized layout. It also features a pretty unique drop-down mega menu. eLab comes with user account pages, shop variations, and a basic blog and portfolio. There is also a simple but effective list of eCommerce elements like banners and featured products.

eLab is held back by below average page loading times. However, the mobile browsing experience is clearly well-thought-out and polished.

Jayla is a versatile eCommerce theme with demos for everything from furniture to beauty products to accessories to electronics. In most cases, Jayla managed to pull off providing intuitive designs while still bringing something new to the table.

The shopping experience is straightforward but includes all the typical features you would expect. Jayla also comes with a number of free tools that would usually cost you extra, like the Slider Revolution, WP Bakery, and Woo Filter plugins. One of it’s coolest and most unique features is its multi-product image lookbooks.

Although it’s solid across the board, Jayla is let down by one of the worst loading times on this list. However, Jayla makes up for it somewhat with an exceptional mobile shopping experience.
