Ecommerce Website Templates to Sell Your Work

Q: Does Pixpa charge commission on store sales?

No. Pixpa takes 0 percent commission on every store and gallery sale, so you keep 100 percent of your revenue after standard Stripe or PayPal fees. There are no per-sale platform fees on any plan.

Picking the right one

How to choose the best ecommerce website template

Match the layout to what you sell, then check what the design should not compromise. Every Pixpa template clears those, so the choice comes down to layout, not capability.

Match the layout to what you sell

A catalogue of products needs a shop-grid template. A handful of prints or originals is better on an image-led design with the buy option beside the work.
Checkout on your own domain

Checkout should run on your own domain, not a shared marketplace, so buyers stay with your brand right through payment.
Zero commission so your margins hold

The store should take zero commission on every sale, so what you price is what you keep after payment fees.
Product pages that work on mobile

Product pages should look right on mobile, where most buyers arrive.

E-commerce galleries

Turn any client gallery into a shoppable surface with print and download options, useful for event and portrait work.

Mobile-optimized checkout with Stripe and PayPal, running on your URL, not a shared marketplace.
Customize without code

Drag-and-drop editor for layout, color and type, with custom CSS and HTML when you want to go further.

What sellers say

How Pixpa compares to Gumroad, Big Cartel and Shopify

Gumroad and Big Cartel get you selling fast, but you work inside their layout with a limited website around the product. Pixpa gives you a portfolio-grade site and the store in one subscription, so buyers see your work and buy it in the same place, and you keep every dollar after payment fees. Shopify scales to large retail catalogues and charges transaction fees on outside payment processors, which is more shop than prints, art or downloads need. Pixpa has run since 2013 and is rated 4.7 out of 5 across 600+ Capterra reviews. See pricing for what each plan includes.

“Honestly, Pixpa is the best photography specific site builder. Miles better than the big players like Wix, Squarespace, and Bigcartel.”

FAQs

Ecommerce website template FAQs

Everything else you might want to know before you start. Still curious? Live chat is open 24/7.

What are ecommerce website templates?

Ecommerce website templates are ready-made, customizable website designs with a built-in online store. They let you sell products from your own branded site without building the shop from scratch. Pixpa’s pair a portfolio-grade website with a zero-commission store for prints, artwork and digital downloads.

What is the best ecommerce website template for selling art or prints?

The best template for selling art or prints is an image-led layout that shows each piece large with the buy option beside it, rather than a dense product grid. Every Pixpa template runs the same zero-commission store, so choose on layout and switch later without losing products.

Are there free ecommerce website templates?

Yes. You can use any Pixpa ecommerce template free for 15 days with no card, and build your full store during the trial. Paid plans then start at $5.40 per month billed yearly, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I sell digital downloads with these templates?

Yes. The store sells digital products including images, video, music, ebooks and other files, delivered automatically after checkout. If you have outgrown a single Gumroad link, this gives you a full branded website around the same downloads.

Does Pixpa charge commission on store sales?

No. Pixpa takes 0% commission on every store and gallery sale, so you keep 100% of your revenue after standard Stripe or PayPal fees. There are no per-sale platform fees on any plan.

Can I sell prints and physical products?

Yes. Sell prints, wall art and physical products through the store or through e-commerce galleries, with checkout on your own domain. Fulfil orders yourself or connect a print-on-demand service such as Printful.

Can I customize an ecommerce website template without coding?

Yes. Change colors, fonts, layout, product pages and navigation in the drag-and-drop editor, no code needed. If you do code, add custom CSS and HTML for finer control. Your store and content carry over if you switch templates.

How is this different from Shopify or Big Cartel?

Pixpa gives you a portfolio-grade website and a zero-commission store in one subscription, built for selling your own work rather than large catalogues. Big Cartel offers limited themes, and Shopify charges fees on non-Shopify processors and scales to retail you may not need.

Is it hard to set up the online store?

Setting up the store takes a little learning, mainly finding where product settings live, but selling itself is straightforward. Pixpa’s live chat, rated highly by Capterra reviewers, answers setup questions within minutes, and you can build the whole store on the free 15-day trial.

How do I get started with an ecommerce website template?

Start a free 15-day trial with no card, pick an ecommerce template, add your products and connect Stripe or PayPal. Publish on a Pixpa address first, then connect your own domain when you are ready.
