Shopvane Companion

Description

This plugin is the other half of the Shopvane
theme. It exists as a separate plugin on purpose: WordPress.org does not allow a
theme to ship a demo importer, page-builder widgets, or its own admin menu, and
those are exactly the things a shop owner wants. Keeping them here also means
your starter-site content and your settings survive if you ever switch theme.

The theme works completely without this plugin. This adds:

A control panel

One top-level Shopvane menu with the settings people change often: brand
colours and fonts, header layout, product card style, the Order now button, and
the wording of every shop button.

Every control writes the same theme setting the Customizer writes, so the two
can never disagree. The Customizer stays the place to judge a change with a live
preview; this is the place to change six things quickly.

Three starter sites

A book shop, a fashion boutique and a general store. Each imports a complete
site in one click: colours, homepage layout, pages with real copy, menus, footer
widgets, blog posts, product categories and twelve products with images.

Nothing is downloaded. Every file ships inside the plugin, so an import works on
a site with no outbound network access, and cannot break because a server
somewhere was retired.

An import only ever adds. A page, post or product that already exists is
left exactly as it is, and a menu you have already assigned is never touched.

Inline checkout, with Quickout

With Quickout installed, Shopvane can
put a real checkout form directly on a product page, so a shopper can order
without ever seeing a cart. That is how most cash-on-delivery shops sell.
Quickout renders and validates the form; this plugin places it and styles it to
match the theme.

Each starter site also arrives with a complete Quickout funnel already built –
a landing page carrying the buy box and the order form together, and the thank
you page it redirects to, attached to two of the demo products. It is the part
of Quickout that is hardest to picture from a settings screen, so the starter
site ships one rather than describing it. Sites without Quickout skip this and
import everything else.

Two Elementor widgets

A product row and category tiles, both rendering through the theme’s own
templates – so a product card placed in Elementor is identical to one on the
shop page, and changing the card style changes both.
