12 WordPress eCommerce Photography Themes To Make You Money

September 15, 2012 By Scott 2 Comments

Have you ever considered WordPress eCommerce photography themes as the solution for your website?

Photographers love to share their photographs with website visitors.  Make sense, right?  Photographers also want to sell their photographs to these visitors.  Also makes sense, right?

So why not combine the power of eCommerce with the styling of WordPress themes for photographers?

WordPress eCommerce Photography Themes

Below are 12 WordPress themes and plugin combinations to help you make money selling your photographs.  Although some of the themes listed here have eCommerce functionality, we think you will notice an interesting trend, which we will mention at the end of this article.

Photocrati

What’s so great about the Photocrati theme, is that is not only the best WordPress theme for photographers, but also includes simple eCommerce functionality so you don’t want to use additional plugins.

  • All-in-one website + galleries + blog.
  • Sell images with eCommerce galleries
  • PayPal payment
  • Dozens of styles, customize everything.

eStore

eStore is a flashy website that can help photographers to sell photographs or eBooks.  If you want to see a photography eBook website using this theme, check out Flatbooks.  It’s not officially a WordPress photography theme, but can sure be used as one.

  • Elegant Themes Framework
  • Built-in eCommerce
  • PayPal Payment

Storemerce

This is an interesting theme as it is built on using Cart66 for its eCommerce functionality, but has a nice business styling.

Kinetico is a very interesting theme with it’s vibrant and modern design.  While it isn’t techniclaly a gallery theme, combine its WooCommerce functions with NextGEN Gallery and you can really have an impressive website.

Last but not least, this theme has a beautiful home page slider, and works with multiple eCommerce frameworks.  This is another that NextGEN Gallery would be a great addition to.

WordPress eCommerce Trend

The majority of eCommerce themes do not rely on their own functionality.  In fact, the popular ones are Cart66, WP e-Commerce, JigoShop, Easy Digital Downloads and WooCommerce.  The clear winner of third-party eCommerce support is WooCommerce.

    Hello.

    I use a Photocrati theme. I love it. I want to buy another one I think. The only problem I am having is, I need to be able to have custom price lists. For example, not every 8×10 will be the same price for different images, surfaces, mediums, etc. As of now, do not see a way to make multiple price lists, and I have too many specific items I need to price to use one list. Is there a plugin or something you can suggest? Also – do the themes have to use paypal or can I change the payment method at some point? Many thanks, Traci

      Hi Traci,

      Price lists are on the roadmap, but the theme as of version 4.6 has unlimited pricing options so you can create multiple 8×10 options and choose which 8×10 can be used with a specific gallery. Not as simple as a quick-choose price list, but that’s why it’s on the roadmap.
