Can You Make Money Building Shopify Themes?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:07 pm

If you’re a web designer, you’ve probably heard of Shopify. It’s a platform that allows people to create their own online stores, and it’s growing in popularity. Many web designers are using Shopify to create custom themes for their clients, and some are even selling themes on the Shopify Theme Store.

So, can you make money building Shopify themes? The short answer is yes.

But it’s not as simple as just creating a theme and putting it up for sale. There are a few things you need to do in order to be successful.

First, you need to create a high-quality theme that is unique and appealing. There are thousands of themes on the Shopify Theme Store, so you need to make sure your theme stands out from the rest. Take some time to browse through the store and see what types of themes are popular, and then brainstorm some ideas for your own theme.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that there are many scams online promising easy money for little work. Be very careful before handing over any money or personal information.

Once you have an idea for your theme, you need to put together a demo site so potential buyers can see what your theme looks like in action. Create a simple site that showcases your theme’s features and design. Then, add an “Add to Cart” button so people can purchase your theme directly from your site.

Finally, promote your theme. Spread the word about your new Shopify theme by writing articles, blog posts, or social media posts about it.

You can also submit your theme to review sites and directories. The more people who know about your theme, the more likely someone is to buy it.

If you follow these steps, you can definitely make money building Shopify themes. So what are you waiting for? Start creating!
