Storefront

WooCommerce's official free WordPress theme, purpose-built for e-commerce

Best for: WooCommerce store owners who want the official, most tightly-integrated free theme with broad extension compatibility.
Skip if: You want a highly custom, modern design out of the box - Storefront is intentionally minimal and meant to be built upon.

Storefront is the free, official WordPress theme for WooCommerce, developed by Automattic. It's built with a bespoke integration to WooCommerce and its popular customer-facing extensions, offering accessibility readiness, responsive design, custom colors/headers, multiple widget regions, RTL support, and a lean codebase meant for developer customization.
