WeCommerce to acquire Archetype Themes

Monday 9 August 2021 14:51 CET | News

US-based full service commerce platform WeCommerce has signed an agreement to acquire Archetype Themes for USD 20 million and contingent consideration of up to USD 12 million.

Archetype is a designer and developer of themes used by over 60,000 Shopify merchants. Archetype will continue to operate as an independent brand post-acquisition. Combined with Pixel Union and Out of the Sandbox, WeCommerce-owned themes will comprise five of the top-seven most popular paid themes in the Shopify Theme Store. 

The upfront consideration represents a multiple of approximately five times EBITDA, based on Archetype’s unaudited financial statements for the trailing twelve months period ended 31 March 2021. WeCommerce expects to fund the upfront consideration through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior secured credit facility.
