Alright guys, I am very new to shopify and would live to get some advice please…
I am thinking about setting up a wellness store, which will include a dropshipping service but I have no idea which theme to choose 
Alright Mark, I am thinking about creating a wellness brand,and then having sub niches under it such as, health living, healthy eating, fitness and so on. If I go for a free theme I have to add additional apps, such as a review app correct?
Alright David I am going for the calm relax feel. I want to help people
@byronwells i will be frank and honest with you, premium theme is the best to use for a clean and well attractive shopify store
shrine pro theme
impluse theme or lumin theme all the theme best suit a wellness store, with the help of this well customize themes your wellness store won’t jsut look clean and attractive but it would also help your turn visitors into buyers by getting there attention
I like how people copy/paste Chat GPT output here.
Just in case – Shopify offers only two free themes – Dawn and Horizon. All other free “themes” are just presets of those two.
Say, Dawn family also includes Publisher, Taste, Craft, Origin, Spotlight, Crave, Refresh, Ride, Studio, Trade, Sense and Colorblock – they are basically presets of the same theme.
So do not spend your time choosing between Dawn, Sense and Refresh as suggested above – they are the same, just with different default settings.
Same with Horizon family.
Horizon is much more frlexible because it’s a newer theme, however, Horizon is less tolerant to old browsers, so if you expect your customers to use older iphones to browse, Horizon family is not your best bet.
Though it’s great otherwise.
Huge benefit of free themes is that there is much more solutions for them and people familiar with them in this forum in case you’d ever need any help.
Also want to warn you against themes from envato/themeforest. While there are some good themes (for example, Ella was very good last time I checked), most of them are not on par with Shopify theme store themes – lower quality, older technology.
Another benefit of the Shopify theme store is that you can trial any theme in your shop which I highly recommend – install a bunch an try to configure them to your liking – this will give you understanding of what’s important for you in the theme.
Ah, yes – no theme includes reviews, you’d need to install an app with any theme.
There are things which can not be done in theme and will require apps no matter what theme you select.
Free theme can be Premium to if you have team to modify it. 
Dawn is good.
Once again – this is the same theme, only default settings differ.
Worth looking at all of them, but rather to understand how the same theme can be configured to look differently.
Profile Yep I agree.
I am just trying to save topic starter time by preventing them from choosing between the 3 themes you’ve mentioned because it is the same theme. Not “common foundation” it is literally the same code.
I’ve also wrote that it is

Hi @byronwells ,
Hey! For a new wellness + dropshipping store, go with a clean, beginner-friendly theme that’s mobile-ready and easy to customize.
Free & easy theme
- Dawn – simple, flexible, great for beginners
- Sense – built with wellness/beauty in mind
Paid Theme:
- Prestige – premium, stylish
- Empire – good for lots of products
Start with Dawn or Sense - you can preview themes before publishing, so try a couple and see what fits your brand best!
