The theme

Everything is free. Really everything.

No Pro plugin that unlocks headers, filters or demos. Every shop view is designed, from the catalog to the checkout, the account, the blog and the 404, and what you download is all of it.

What is in the theme

Filters and sorting made for real catalogs. With the free plugin, a product’s colors show as swatches on its card, beside Bestseller and New badges.
