About Pro Theme
Compared to the Simple theme, the Pro Theme is a complete overhaul with its enhancements and new additions:
Brands
The new Pro Theme introduces Brands as another layer of organization that works side by side with the product categories. Brands are collections of products that can belong to different categories, but can be organized and displayed in one page. This can be utilized for actual product brands or to creatively combine various products to form collections of products that complement each other or are part of a recommended purchaseHeader and Footer
The Pro theme offers a complete ecommerce experience with a Header and Footer, each containing their respective crucial information and playing a role in the overall shopping experience. Compared to the simple theme, which only had a simple header, the Pro Theme’s Header Displays:
- Top Categories

Store Sections
The store’s simple theme offered four layouts that slightly altered the general look, feel and user experience of the store’s front page. This shifted between a full page list of products segregated by categories with a top banner or a side list accompanied by a side banner.
With the new Pro Theme, it offers three layouts, each with varying sections that overlap with some offering unique sections. These sections include:
Basic Settings: Allows setting the store logo, logo shape (Square or Circle), action color (Affects product title, price and add to cart button colors), product sale label background color, out of stock background color, discount label (Displaying the word Sale or the actual discount percentage)
