What merchants say about Solace Shopify theme

We know about 22 reviews

We have built a 7 figure brand on this theme. It works and has all the bells and whistles. And its solid - it has never been an issue for us. The best part is that every time we need help / a tweak, the Groupthought team responds like a boss. Recommend.

The theme is great and has many sections and designs you can easily create. It also supports subscriptions and more advanced forms which has worked well for our brand. Above all the support is excellent and very responsive if you have an issue. Mark is great and very helpful.

The theme itself is very well built and the dev team is very proactive in fixing any issues we ran into.

Although I loved the asthetic, I wasn't sure that this was the right theme for my niche. I was contacted by Gideon who walked me through the pros and cons of each theme available. It was definately a learning experience. Now I am not only happy with the asthetic but confident in this themes ability to sell my product.

I have been told by the dev team about an update of the theme version since August. Asked four times and given a date but it has been delayed every time. I don't know what is going on.
