The design of an eCom store plays a very important role in its success. Lightspeed eCom brings you the work of professional web designers and developers through our Theme Store so you can design your website with the click of a button.

The Theme Store contains 50 customizable themes that you can choose from to make sure your eCom store looks professional. The themes are well designed and can be easily converted. You can choose from free themes and themes that are available for a monthly registration fee. In general, the paid themes are developed by third-party developers and are extensively tested and updated monthly. And installing a new theme will not be penalized. If you're not happy with your theme, you can always replace it.
