Shop website templates

Shop website templates for showing off your products

Drape, Nook and Basket are online stores with a shop, product pages and checkout. Circuit and Settle show your products as a website.

What a shop website needs

A shop site has two jobs: help people find the thing they want, and give them a reason to trust you with their money. Categories, clear prices, real product photos and delivery details do most of that work.

Drape (clothing), Nook (home and living) and Basket (groceries) are store templates: their shop, product and basket pages are your startbuddi Store, with checkout through Stripe or Paystack. Circuit, bright and busy, and Settle, calm and roomy, present your products as a website; checkout then lives in the Store's own storefront.

  • CategoriesSo people can find the right shelf fast.
  • Prices and deliveryNo surprises at checkout.
  • Real product photosYour products, well lit.
  • A way to payThe Store for online orders, or WhatsApp for orders by message.
