Summary
Pick Patagonia if…
Stores that already run it and prioritize speed. For new stores, Ipanema is the closest alternative.
Watch out for: No FTP/custom code, blog, multi-language/currency, subscriptions, or restricting purchases to registered customers.
See Patagonia theme details →Pick Recife if…
Beauty, home decor, stationery and fashion stores that run frequent campaigns and need to push several collections at once.
Watch out for: With that many showcases it is easy to build an overly long homepage — prioritize the 2 or 3 that matter most.
