TL;DR.

Don't want to read the article. Ok...here are the Best FREE Shopify themes for health and beauty products.:

Is a FREE theme good enough for your Health & Beauty Store?

Yes! The FREE themes offered by Shopify are already great. The $300+ themes available are so worth it, but the FREE themes out of the box have everything you need to open your store and showcase your health & beauty products.

What do the FREE themes have already?

FREE Shopify themes have got all this and more:

Easy "drag-n-drop" website builder. NO CODING. No web developer needed. You can essentially build out your website - by yourself in less than 4 hours in your spare time. NO CODING.
Personalize your shop by adding your brand logo and colors.
Quickly add all your product photos, pricing, and link your Payment Provider.

Health & Beauty Product Theme Showdown

What are the must-have features for an online shop that sells health and beauty products? Well below are the absolute necessities:

Theme	Mobile-Friendly	Fast	Simple
Refresh
Taste
Dawn
Sense

Mobile-optimized. Most of your customers will be using their phones to shop, it only makes sense that your theme provides the best user experience - meaning your product photos won't be squished, cut or morphed, your product descriptions will be easy to read on a small screen, and all the buttons work from cart to checkout.
Fast speeds. Your customers don't want to wait for your store to load. More than a few seconds and they will leave. These themes are built to make your site fast.
Easy for you to run. The free themes are simplified to get a new store owner up-and-running. No excess features to get in the way of you focusing on selling products.

These free 4 health & beauty themes are all the same then?

They mostly have the same features. When you play with each theme demo, you'll see few differences in the layout, but all of them can be modified to your liking. So don't pick a theme based on what the demos look like. Below is a summary of the features of each theme:

Theme	Optimized for Story-telling	Editorial Content	Slide-out Cart	Press Coverage	Product Options
Refresh
Taste
Dawn
Sense

Sense theme has the least amount of features out of the 4, so it makes no sense to use the Sense theme. The theme has "Press Coverage", but what is that? I couldn't figure out what exactly that feature does - probably not important when you're first starting out.

Dawn theme has "Press Coverage" too, and "Product Options". Product options are good for health & beauty products that have different sizes, scents, colors etc. - these are called "variants". This way your customers can pick what variant/s they want and add it to the cart.

However, the Taste theme has "Product Options" too, so better to sunset Dawn. Taste is also optimized for long-form content, which may be helpful if your products have a background story to tell. Another feature of the Taste theme is "Editorial Content" - which maybe another useless feature.

Taste has the most features out of all the 4 free themes. It's only missing the "Slide-out Cart" feature. The slide-out cart (also known as a cart drawer) is basically your cart sliding out:

The slide-out cart is great for customers who like to pick what they want and check out immediately - usually men. Only the Refresh Theme has the slide-out cart option.

Health & Beauty Product Theme - The Best

Use Taste theme if you have a lot of product variants.

Use Refresh theme if you like the slide-out cart feature and your products have no variants.

Best payment processors for Shopify.

TL;DR.

Don't have time to read my article? . Ok...here are the best payment processors for your Shopify store:

1
Shopify Payments.
2
PayPal Express Checkout.

Best Payment Processor #1 - Shopify Payments.

The best payment processor (aka Payment Provider) is the one that makes it easy for your customer to buy from you. So make it easy for them by choosing Shopify Payments.

Why?

Shopify Payments has all the major credit cards - VISA, MC, AMEX. Most people have one of these credit cards, right? - so you'll capture the overwhelming majority of your customers already.
Shopify Payments has Apple Pay, Shop Pay, Google Pay, and Meta (Facebook) Pay. Special people with the "blue text bubble" can use their Apple Pay seamlessly, which means less thought, and less friction in making a purchase. Same goes for Shop Pay - people who bought from a Shopify store in the past can use Shop Pay without entering their credit card details again. Listen, when people are entering their credit card details, the rational part of their brain kicks in and tries to talk them out of the purchase. You don't want that! Take away as much friction as you can from your customer and the purchase.
Shopify Payments lets your customer Buy Now Pay Later in installments, through Shop Pay. This is a great option for consumers living paycheck-to-paycheck. For example, people can't or won't pay for a $50 purchase, so they pay $12.50 per month in installments. lol. Yes, so this is a must too. Included in Shopify Payments already, so no extra work from you.
Shopify charges third party processing fees for not using Shopify Payments, so you're forced to use Shopify Payments. Don't fight it. Why pay another 2% or whatever extra to use a third party payment processor outside the Shopify network. It's part of the game - play it well.

How to add Shopify Payments to your Shopify Store:

Click on Settings, which is located on the menu bar on the bottom left.

Then click on Payments.

And click on "Complete account setup".

After that all you need to do is fill out some details:

Business entity - Individual or Corporation.
Business address.
Personal details of store owner - Name, address.
Product details - what your store is selling (apparel, beauty, garden)
Bank information - bank name, account number (where to send the payments)

That's all you have to do to get all these customer payment options. Amazing! Your store can now accept payments from your customers.

2nd Best Payment Processor for Shopify is PayPal Express Checkout.

For the remaining online customers who don't have a credit credit card, include PayPal Express Checkout as another payment processor for your Shopify Store. With Shopify Payments and PayPal Express Checkout, your online store will be set.

And, it's even easier to signup with PayPal Express Checkout than Shopify Payments.

Shopify automatically creates a PayPal account for you when you sign up with Shopify.

How to add PayPal Express Checkout to your Shopify Store:

Just go back to Settings > Payments and click on "Complete account setup". You will be directed to PayPal to finish the signup there. Again - easy! Thanks Shopify.

The end. Shopify makes it so effortless.

Now go make some money.
