What merchants say about Area Shopify theme

We know about 13 reviews · showing 6

Merchant sentiment summary

AI

11 of 13 reviews are positive, with 1 neutral and 1 negative. Merchants most often praise the theme's flexible customisation in the theme editor, its distinctive layouts, and fast, helpful support. The main criticism is that a language selector was not included and was offered only as a paid add-on, with one reviewer also reporting slow replies.

I’m very happy with this theme. The design is clean, professional, and well thought out, with many useful features that make the store look polished and modern. The support has also been excellent. Olivia was extremely helpful, patient, and clear with her explanations. Even when I had several questions, she always replied in a kind and professional way, which made the setup process much easier.

I purchased this theme and overall it works very well. It’s clean, easy to use, and quite flexible. The layout is practical and most features run smoothly. Once everything is set up properly, it becomes a very useful and functional theme for building an online store.

Theme is very modular and flexible - especially if you like the default grid style. Support is quick and nice.

The theme i though looked nice, but it lacked features, the price of the theme is $190, after buying the theme I wanted a language selector on the header, i emailed them they told me it will cost me an additional $225 to add it. There response time is 72 hours and sometimes they don't respond. Money wasted
