# Theme Selection
###### tags: `Research`
:::warning
This document is for the selection of a spotify theme to fit our needs.
First is prospective themes.
Last will be making a decision.

# :accept: Themes

Spotify's store pretty much has nothing so.

Third party sources for Spotify themes:
[TemplateMonster](https://www.templatemonster.com/shopify-themes.php)
[ThemeForest](https://themeforest.net/category/ecommerce/shopify?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3NX_BRDQARIsALA3fIK4wEWwbUG7LNEw47nQ_24RsOrEk37R1qi1nNEjbsDmycCFzfBC9QwaAiLGEALw_wcB&referrer=search&sort=sales&view=grid)

The solution may be a combination of multiple themes (if doing such a thing is possible)
