Parker Open · Music and labels
Your record store,
organized by artist.
Parker Open is a Shopify theme created by Mister Mikel for record stores, independent labels and bands selling their music and merch: a page for every artist, with their bio and full discography underneath, and a product page with format, label, edition, country and condition. It’s free if you install it yourself. And if you’d rather skip the wrestling, we set it up for you.
This may sound familiar
A vinyl record is not a phone case.
Most Shopify themes put a record next to a T-shirt: title, price and a photo. No band, no label, no sign of the edition a collector has been hunting for months.
Nobody buys a record. They buy the band behind it.
The artist is nowhere to be seen
No bio, no discography, no “everything by them” in one place.
The product page leaves out what matters
Format, label, year, edition, condition. What a collector looks at doesn’t fit in a generic product page.
Records and merch, all mixed up
Vinyl, CDs, T-shirts and tote bags on the same shelf. Finding anything is a matter of patience.
The fan is far away
Languages and currencies to reach Europe and Latin America without making a mess.
In Parker, the author. Here, the artist.
The same idea, told for your record store.
Are you a label? The lead can be each artist on your roster, or the label itself if you sell several labels’ catalogs.
What Parker Open brings for music
Built to sell records with a name behind them.
A page for every artist
Photo, bio and background at the top. Full discography or tour dates in a “More details” dropdown. Underneath, everything by them.
A collector’s product page
Up to five fields with whatever label you want: format, label, edition, country, condition. Plus type and year.
Filter by type
Vinyl, CD, cassette, merch. The catalog filters by type with no extra apps.
“By the same artist”
On every record, the rest of their discography and merch, right underneath.
Digital music too
High-quality downloads or digital editions are sold with Shopify apps such as Digital Downloads, alongside the records.
You run it yourself
Adding a product or changing a price takes two minutes. On Shopify, without touching code. Two styles to choose from.
How it looks
Three stores, one theme.
A pop band made up for the demo. Their page tells who they are and lists their discography; underneath, the LP, the cassette and the tote bag, with format, label, edition and condition on each product page.

A singer-songwriter, also made up, with her EP on vinyl, on cassette and as a download. Physical and digital, together on her page.
See Lucía in the demo →A record store with thousands of titles. Every artist has a page and, underneath, everything in stock by them; the product page states the record’s format, label, edition, country and condition.

Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask us.
Which Shopify theme works for a record store?
Parker Open, Mister Mikel’s free theme, is built for exactly that: every artist has a page with their bio and full discography, and each record’s product page carries format, label, edition, country and condition.
And for a label or a band?
Yes. A label can give a page to each artist on its roster; a band, to each record, with everything sold around it underneath.
Can I sell vinyl and merch in the same store?
Yes. The type filter separates vinyl, CD, cassette and merch, and each artist gathers everything of theirs on their page.
Does it work for selling digital music?
Yes. Downloads and digital editions are sold on Shopify with apps such as Digital Downloads, and Parker Open presents them just like a physical record, with the artist alongside.
Does the demo have a music section?
Yes. The demo has a band with its LP, a cassette and merch, and a singer-songwriter with her EP on vinyl, cassette and download. See Music in the demo →
Does it work for selling outside Spain?
Yes. It comes bilingual (Spanish and English) with a language selector and a country/currency selector, built for selling to Latin America and Europe.
Is it free?
Yes. If you install it yourself, the theme costs nothing: we send it in both styles with the installation guide. What has a price is having us set it up and adapt it, if you’d rather.
What if I want you to set it up?
It depends on your catalog and on what you need. We don’t post a sticker price: tell us about your case and we’ll send a specific proposal with a fixed timeline. See the service →
