Where the Theme Store wins
- Try in your own store for free until you publish. Our answer is a live demo of every theme plus a 30-day fix-or-refund.
- Reviewed by Shopify. Our themes are not on the Theme Store, so they are not reviewed by Shopify. You get clean, readable Liquid you can inspect on an unpublished copy before you publish anything.
- A large review history. Long-established themes have years of public reviews. We are new and do not show reviews we do not have.
Where Sellblocks wins
- Choice per pound. All-Access gives you 40 complete themes, each designed for a specific kind of store, for less than one premium Theme Store theme typically costs.
- Agencies and multi-store owners. All-Access covers your own stores and your clients' stores, instead of one license per store.
- Conversion sections built in. Bundles, quantity breaks, comparison tables, trust rows and a sticky add to cart, without paying monthly for apps.
Is a theme from outside the Theme Store allowed?
Yes. Shopify supports uploading theme zips in your admin, and many stores run themes from independent studios. Your products, orders and pages are not affected by installing a theme. See how to upload a theme to Shopify.
