What's the best theme for an online hot tub store?

Hi, I am struggling to choose the right theme for my page.

What would you guys recommend for a hot tub store?, we mostly sell in person. We would like to have more information about the hot tubs online and to greatly increase our sales of all the accessories.

What we need:

  1. easy to navigate information page about the hot tubs. Big overview of the tubs and a good filtering system. Also to be able to quick view the tubs for a bit more information and to customize them.

  2. good product page for any accessories like chlorine, filters and a bunch of other stuff the owners buy regularly

  3. a subscription model for the owners, for example. every 3 months we can send them new filters.

  4. live chat, we want to connect with the customers to offer our expertise and recommendations.

  5. product ratings.

Thanks in advance!

@ari_steinn , Hope you are doing well.

Based on your requirements for a hot tub store, I would recommend considering the “Turbo” theme.

By choosing the Turbo theme, you’ll have access to a range of features and customization options that align with your specific requirements.

Remember to explore the theme’s documentation and consider reaching out to Shopify support if you need assistance with setting up specific features or customizations.

And if you love someone another store’s design and functionality then you can use the Shopify theme detector tool. This online tool detects and analyzes the store’s URL to identify the utilized theme.

Hello, I recommend that you use the dawn,
In the community you can find more support and ask questions about that template.

  1. It is easy to use, you do not need to know how to program, just visualize what you want and use the options that they give you.
  2. You have the option of generating a store where you can put your products.
  3. You can have customers who subscribe to your page.
  4. For the chat you have to add an additional app, which allows you to communicate with your customers. This option is not within the templates. An additional installation of the APP STORE is required.
  5. I have not used this option, I have not seen if it has a product rating.

My page is 80% Native - 20% code

For other additional modifications if you need to handle a bit of code. But there are tutorials on youtuve regarding “Dawn”.

I hope I can help you with this.

Hi @ari_steinn

I’d love to help you with this! Here are some of the suggested themes I recommend you check out. I feel that since you already have an established business with specific offerings that you will benefit from the investment of a developer made theme. They are a bit more robust than our free themes and offer more customization and advanced features without requiring lots of apps or add-ons.

All the themes I am suggesting here are ones that are great for organizing large catalogues, have robust search and filter options and most have great features for businesses with a physical presence as well. You definitely are not limited to these themes of course!

Free:

Origin Theme

Paid:

Canopy Theme

Reformation Theme

Habitat Theme

For subscriptions - Setting up subscriptions · Shopify Help Center

You will need to be using one of these payment gateways:

And you will need to have one of these apps installed: Best Subscriptions Apps For 2023 On Shopify App Store.

For a live chat feature - Shopify Inbox is free and quite robust! I definitely recommend checking it out to see if it offers the kind of features you would like in a chat tool. There are many other chat tools that range from simple to quite advanced AI responses in the app store as well.

If you need help designing or developing your store we also offer access to vetted experts and designers that are available for hire in our experts marketplace. You can check that out and submit a job request here: Hire Shopify Experts, developers, designers and freelancers. If you have other questions about starting an online store for your business please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Thank you!

I will be choosing the Reformation Theme.

There are some templates that I really like from other themes, for example “Products set” from the Combine Theme.

Is there any way I can use that template with the Reformation Theme?

Thanks :heart:

Great question! Each theme is unique and the their prebuilt designs are part of their unique theme package. If they are made by the same developer you can contact them to see if there is an option to add that onto your current theme file, but I can’t guarantee that.

Most of the themes in our theme store are part of our new theme design platform (Theme 2.0) which allows for advanced customization and sections. Once you start getting into your theme layout feel free to share some screenshots of what you are aiming for and what you have already designed for our community to have a look at. Many developers in our community are happy to help with small changes or realigning sections on specific pages.
