First Steps After Installation

Once you've installed and activated both the theme and plugin, follow these steps to set up your store.

1. Configure Store Settings​

Navigate to eCommerce → Settings and configure:

  • General — Store name, currency, tax settings
  • Payments — Enable payment gateways (bank transfer, card payments, cash on delivery)
  • Shipping — Set up shipping zones and methods
  • Emails — Configure order notification emails

2. Create Products​

Go to eCommerce → Products → Add New:

  1. Enter product title and description
  2. Set the price (regular and sale price)
  3. Upload a featured image
  4. Configure variations if applicable (size, color, etc.)
  5. Set stock quantity for inventory tracking
  6. Publish the product

3. Configure Your Theme​

Go to Appearance → Flavor Options to access the theme settings with 11 configuration tabs:

  • Header — Logo, navigation, top bar
  • Footer — Layout, columns, copyright text
  • Shop — Products per page, grid columns, sorting options
  • Typography — Font families and sizes
  • Colors — Brand colors, button styles
  • Translations — UI label translations for your language

4. Set Up eCommerce Pages​

The plugin automatically creates these pages with the correct templates:

ShopShop PageProduct listing
CartCart PageShopping cart
CheckoutCheckout PageOrder completion
My AccountAccount PageCustomer dashboard
tip

These pages use Page Templates (not shortcodes). If you accidentally delete one, create a new page and assign the correct template from the Page Attributes panel.

5. Test Your Store​

Before going live:

  1. Place a test order using a test payment method
  2. Verify email notifications are sent correctly
  3. Check the mobile experience — the theme is fully responsive
  4. Test the checkout flow end-to-end
