About Pro Theme


Compared to the Simple theme, the Pro Theme is a complete overhaul with its enhancements and new additions:

  1. 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 purchase

  2. Header 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:

    1. Top Categories
    2. All Products Button that allows customers to access all products
    3. Delivery Button where customers choose their location
    4. Currency Switcher Button
    5. Language Switcher Button
    6. Search Button for a swift access to searching the store
    7. Sign in button to allow customers to sign up and login
    8. The Cart Button
      As for the Pro Theme’s Footer, it Displays:
    9. Social: All the store’s social media channels
    10. Contact: Includes a button to the Contact us page, store’s email, whatsapp
    11. and phone number
    12. Our Information: Includes Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions and Refund
    13. Policy Links
    14. Top Categories
    15. Payment Methods
  3. Product Tags

    Enhances the store’s search capabilities by associating products with tags or search terms that customers might be searching for

  4. 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:

    1. 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)

    2. Header Top Categories: Choosing the categories to display on the header

    3. Carousel: Adding moving carousel banners, each with a URL destination when clicked

    4. Flash Sale: A section with a banner and a collection of products that are currently on sale

    5. Small Carousel: A section with small moving carousel banners, each with a URL destination when clicked

    6. Shop by Category: A section that displays chosen categories with their images

    7. Special Sale Banner: A page wide banner with a URL destination when clicked

    8. New Arrivals: A section where newly added products are displayed

    13. Featured Products: A section to display featured products

    14. Triple Banners: Two triple banner sections distributed across the website

    15. Sale Carousel: A massive banner that covers the entire view of the website so that it grabs attention

  5. Image Handling

    Each of the sections’ banners and images require four images, two for each language. This will ensure having a desktop view specific image and a mobile view specific image to ensure that the best quality image is displayed on each view

3. 6. Three Category Levels

The simple theme only supported two category levels, Main and Sub. But, the Pro Theme supports an extra sub-sub category layer to further allow merchants to customize and organize their products hierarchy

  1. Natively Mobile Responsive

Given that over 98% of ecommerce customers visit stores on mobile devices, the Pro Theme is truly responsive on mobile devices. This ensures the best user experience and interface on mobile devices with native-like navigation and easy swift navigation across all sections
