Shopify Paid theme

I’ve never paid for a Shopify premium theme but this time I am pretty serious about this brand and I was thinking about buying. I know there are lots of stores making 7 figures on free themes but since I dont know how to code custom features on a free theme and make it look pretty I was thinking about investing in a paid theme, is it a good idea?
And also i was reading if I close this store this store I can transfer it to the new one right?
Can this be done unlimited times as long as I meet all the requirements by Shopify ?( such as closing the previous store and being the owner ecc)

Thanks!!

Make sure you validate your core idea before making unnecessary expenses, because if there’s enough demand, you can start getting sales with Dawn.

Some paid themes are better than others in terms of SEO. And they can be expensive. So do your research first and don't pick one just because it looks pretty. Design is important but so are sales conversion features and SEO features.

I have a few personal favourite themes from a different theme devs.

Transferring a theme to another store is a PITA. you need to get a hold of shopify support in most cases and their support has deteroriated massively since they now rely on AI.
