Free Bookstore Website Templates for WordPress

Find out if these bookstore website templates are right for your business

9 professionally designed bookstore website templates built for book retailers, authors, eBook sellers, coaches, and public speakers. Here’s what to know before you pick one.

Who these are for

Bookstore templates work best for independent booksellers and authors who sell directly through their own site. The collection is broader than a pure bookstore — it includes author portfolios, eBook sales pages, life coach, relationship coach, and public speaker templates — all of which have a book or content product as a central offering. If you are building a large multi-category bookshop, an eCommerce template with strong filtering and catalogue features will serve you better.

What comes in the box

Every template ships as a full demo import. Shop pages, product listings, author pages, about sections, and contact forms come pre-designed and ready to edit. Store templates come pre-connected to WooCommerce. You are replacing placeholder content with your own, not building page structures from scratch.

Performance and SEO

Astra loads under 50KB. Product schema markup is included on store templates so Google can correctly index your book listings in search. No additional optimization plugins needed to pass Core Web Vitals.

Customization

Fully customizable with Elementor or the block editor. Built with clean HTML5 and PHP. Mobile-friendly and responsive across every device. SureCart handles eBook and digital download sales natively without requiring WooCommerce — a cleaner option for authors selling a small number of titles.

Built for client work

All templates are free to use on client projects. WCAG-accessible, translation-ready, RTL-compatible, and regularly updated for the latest WordPress releases. White-labeling available on premium plans.

Changing themes is something that I have been wanting to do for some time and when I saw Astra, I knew that was going to be the theme for me. Its focus is on performance and it is built to work with all page builders. Moreover, Astra is built by Brainstorm Force, a team of developers you can trust. They make several very successful products for WordPress and have the experience to build things the right way.

When we rebuilt the WP Elevation website we needed a theme that was aimed at web design professionals, was lightweight with a focus on speed and performance and was compatible with page builders. Astra won hands down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your common queries

Can I sell books directly from my website without a marketplace?

Yes. WooCommerce handles physical book sales, shipping, and inventory management. SureCart is a simpler option for authors selling eBooks or digital downloads without needing the full WooCommerce stack. Both work with these templates and let you sell directly from your own site without giving a cut to Amazon or another marketplace.

Are these bookstore website templates free?

A mix of free and premium templates are included. Free templates are available immediately. Premium designs marked as Pro require an Astra Pro plan, which also unlocks additional customization options, priority support, and the full template library.

Can I sell eBooks or digital downloads through my bookstore website?

Yes. SureCart handles digital file delivery and one-time purchases natively without requiring WooCommerce. Customers pay, receive a download link, and get access immediately. No complex setup required.

Do these templates work for authors who also offer coaching or speaking?

Yes. Several templates in this collection are built specifically for authors who have a broader personal brand including templates for public speakers, life coaches, and relationship coaches, all of which are structured to sell books alongside services. The collection reflects how most authors actually work.

Will my bookstore website show up in Google search results for specific book titles?

Product schema markup is included in the store templates, which helps Google index your book listings with title, price, and availability. Combining that with individual product pages for each title and an SEO plugin like SureRank gives you the best foundation for appearing in book-specific searches.
