@Direct Webstore Me, I'm more or less like you speed wise, 88 to 90 on Pingdom average 2.2 sec (hey speed sluts around I didn't use any CDN yet so STFU lol) Also don't forget that speed is always relative to content and site type. Overcompressed images suck on Ecom site. It's always a compromise.
THEME:
Flatsome
PAID. I plan to use also
Elementor Pro in the Next future, their new pro version has WC page builder....
Flatsome Theme is amazing. I have customized it a lot to my taste. They have a lot of functionalities which prevent using any plugin like Insta feed, included page builder near as good Elementor, infinite scroll, product filter etc…
Don’t ask for support for Flatsome or pay/extend, their support is the worst I have ever seen. But their theme rocks
I use 1 license and copy manually updates to my other sites to save some money.
For plugins, I choose a few paid ones for functionalities I couldn’t find elsewhere for free (no cracked plugin NEVER).
The good thing about Themeforest/Codecanyon Theme and Plugins is that most of the plugins can (unofficially but still) be used on all your sites.
When I’ll be rich to death maybe I’ll consider paying these for all my sites.
PLUGINS:
Shortpixel: Image Compression plugin, but still I prefer TinyPNG, cost more but didn't gave me the headache and scary moments of Shortpixel. Images with TinyPNG is very lossy compressed and ver very clean, never had a problem.

Duplicate Page: by mndpsingh287 – 2.6
Estimated Delivery Plugin: by XAdapter ——>
PAID that one is THE BOMB, something I should add to Alidropship suggestion: it adds a dynamic date delivery like Amazon “ you will receive your item between xx/xx/2018- xx/xx/2018 with packet times. You can create as much shipping classes per type of shipping (epacket, DHL, china post (don't do). Autopilot once setup, cleaner, like a pro site.
Follow up email: by Magenest –
PAID —> complementary to Abandoned Cart, sends custom follow up emails like: 2 weeks after order completed, sends a mail saying to the customer, your packet is coming etc…. Very useful, to do this manually on autopilot, a real time saver that can decrease refunds/complains rate. Plugin is much cheaper than WC official follow up email (99$)

Interestprint as suggested by
@LightlyScorched
You can do free shipping in Printful (by adding shipping cost to the product but don't do this if you sell to far away countries).
Interesprint has good and bad reviews on print quality vs Pintful, but does Free Worldwide Shipping and has lots of product choices compared to Printful (shoes, bags, etc... price are cheaper too).

I have also an affiliate plugin from Themeforest I don't remember to do an Affiliate blogger program, 20% base commission.
I will use for Youtubers a flat fee base on channel subscribers count + % base commision. Still in the works.
Landing Pages:
Did the
@kingpin method but using Elementor page builder instead of Profit Builder.
i.g use a page builder similar to what ClickFuckingFunnels do but much cheaper:
So page builder + Thrive leads (awesome) + Social content locker
