Best suited theme for professional large-quantity product sale

  • We are currently looking at designing a brand new WordPress website and thus are in need of a theme, which meets the following requirements:

    – suited to sell clothing items online
    – able to install a product designer so customers can create and design their own print on those clothing items
    – able to run webshop/Woocommerce
    – able to install plugins for online card payments
    – sports highly flexible and customizable design options
    – most importantly –> the theme needs to have the option to display at least two or more clothing brands separately in a nice and presentable manner as well as enable the wholesale of large-quantity orders (ie. batches of 10 – 20 – 50 – 100 etc. at a time)

    We have looked at the following theme site https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress but am unsure as to which theme meets the above mentioned requirements best and am in doubt, whether we should search for a theme under for instance the “eCommerce” or “Retail” categories etc.

    Could the good people of this forum enlighten us?

    Thanks in advance.

    WooCommerce is going to provide the majority of styling for the eCommerce portion, so overall my recommendation is to just pick a newer theme with a good rating and the design you like.

    Also, installing and running plugins is part of WordPress itself, what theme you use doesn’t affect that.

    If you want specific recommendations though, Storefront is a free theme made by WooCommerce, so that should definitely fit what you need: https://woo.com/products/storefront/

    WooCommerce also has their own theme directory at https://woo.com/product-category/themes/

    Hi James Huff @macmanx and thanks so much for the swift reply and advice.

    WooCommerce’s free storefront theme appears quite nice seen from a functional aspect and – as you also pointed out – is meeting the majority of our requirements. However, we noticed its lack of customization and design options as it seems to rely on older “classic themes” and although free, looks as if it is a bit limited in this area.

    In terms of WooCommerce’s own themes, we noticed that there is a need to consistently pay a monthly/annual fee opposed to themeforest’s system, which is a “buy-once-keep-forever” concept and which we would prefer in the long run.

    You also mentioned, that we could pick almost any design that we like, but do you or does anybody else in this forum for that sake know if there are some themeforest themes, that have a higher degree of design options and customization, such as animated effects (ie. revolving product images on hover or similar) and other, more sophisticated design features?

    Oh by the way…, we forgot to ask about another very important requirement.

    Are there themes, that are fulfilling and are more compatible in terms of responsiveness…?

    And last but not least, do we need to buy a professional editor or would the Gutenberg editor suffice in this case?

    Thanks once more.
