Modular is a paid Shopify theme from Presidio, built as its name suggests: around composable sections and a set of ready-made presets that all sit on the same underlying structure. The base Modular preset is the neutral starting point, and the alternative presets shift the visual mood without changing the section system underneath, so switching between them is more of a re-skin than a full rebuild. It sits in the mid-tier of the Theme Store's paid range and holds a strong rating across a credibly-sized review sample.
On the ground, Modular's stores keep moderate-sized catalogues and run app stacks close to the Shopify average. That is what you would expect from a general-purpose theme that is not tied to a single niche: it picks up brands across categories rather than concentrating in one, and the app stack fills whatever the theme itself does not natively cover. Modular does not sit inside the Theme Store's most-installed tier yet, but its rating is strong enough that the merchants who ship on it stay on it. The panels below carry the live numbers.
Pick the preset that matches your brand, not the demo photography. All of Modular's presets share the same section system, so the visible difference between them is mostly imagery and colour. Load your own products into two or three presets before you commit, because a preset that flatters designer glassware may not carry a hardware or a fashion catalogue.
Use the section system before you reach for apps. Modular is built around composable sections that cover the common ecommerce blocks (upsell, hero, product grid, testimonials, FAQ, and so on). Wire those up first, and only install an app when a real gap opens. This is where a modular theme earns its price back: fewer moving parts, faster page loads, less to break when Shopify updates the platform.
Test a preset switch on a copy of the theme before you do it live. Switching presets is a re-skin rather than a rebuild, but a live switch can still knock section-specific settings out of place. Duplicate the theme, apply the new preset there, and walk through every published page before you publish the switched copy over the original.
Treat the paid price as a signal, not a cost. Modular is not one of the cheapest paid options, and it does not need to be. A paid theme from a Theme Store partner with a strong review sample is a stability bet: updates arrive through the store, and the support path is documented. Set that against the compounding cost of a cheaper theme that goes stale and you have to migrate off later

This figure comes from live detection: we scan Shopify storefronts and read the active theme each one runs, then express it as a share of the 3,500,000+ stores in our dataset. It is a share of every store in our dataset, not just recently scanned stores, so it moves more slowly than the month-over-month figures on our trends page. We report what is currently detected, not historical installs or Theme Store / App Store counts.
Independent by design: rankings are determined solely by live detection data. Affiliate relationships never affect what ranks or how stores are counted. Read the full methodology →
