The demo stores

Applies to Companion 0.1.1 Updated 8 October 2026 View as Markdown

A demo store is a complete WooCommerce store: products with photos, categories, pages, menus, a journal, a customer with orders, and the store's look and settings. You import one with LanternWP Companion from Appearance → Demos (Import a demo store), then change everything you want. A demo's look can also be used on its own, without its products and pages (Use only a demo's look).

The Common Goods demo's home page

The Voltline demo's home page, on a dark storefront

The Kilowatt demo's home page, with its departments, a banner and the deal of the day

Each demo uses one of the theme's three layouts, which the Demos screen shows as its type:

Demo Type What it sells
Common Goods Editorial Everyday goods in natural materials, made in short runs. It is the theme's own look, Base.
Voltline Specialist Electronics for the desk and the road, on a dark storefront.
Kilowatt Retail Electronics and appliances, with departments, deals and store pickup.
  • Editorial (Common Goods): the standard header with the menu in the middle, product cards led by a large photo in a grid, and a product page led by its photo gallery.
  • Specialist (Voltline): a header with a wide search field, the same cards and gallery-led product page.
  • Retail (Kilowatt): a header with search and an All categories button that opens the departments panel, detailed product cards in a list, and a product page with the price and Add to cart beside the photos.

Demos get new versions as the theme gains features. The Demos screen says when a newer version of the demo in your store is available; importing it brings the store up to date (Importing again).
