1)       First, it is important to choose a theme that support one of the major ecommerce plugins for WordPress. WordPress is a content publishing platform with a very extensible architecture and it is possible to add very professional tools for running an online shop. This is some of the plugins to look out for when you are choosing a theme:

1. WooCommerce
2. Jigoshop
3. eShop
4. WP e-Commerce
5. Cart66
6. Shopp
7. Ecwid Shopping Cart
8. Easy Digital Downloads

2)      Secondly, it is important to know your functional and visual requirements. Some themes are simple and look great. Themes in this category can be a great starting point, however, in many cases it is recommended to look for themes that are multi purpose and have advanced page builders.

3)      Consider your target audience. This is important in order to choose the right look and feel but also to know if you have a large mobile customer base. If this is the case, you should certainly make sure, your ecommerce theme is responsive and that it look great on various mobile devices. Simply test the demo pages on different devices or use a responsive test tool.
