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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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. ### Copyright Shopvane Companion, Copyright 2026 SaifBrand Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 or later.

It takes about two minutes from a brand new site. 1. **Install the theme.** Appearance > Themes > Add New Theme, search for **Shopvane**, then Install and Activate. (The theme is free in the WordPress.org directory: https:// wordpress.org/themes/shopvane/) 2. **Install this plugin.** Plugins > Add New Plugin, search for **Shopvane Companion**, then Install and Activate. 3. A **Shopvane** menu appears in the admin sidebar, and you land on it automatically after activation. 4. Open **Shopvane > Starter sites** and click **Import** on any of the three sites. Give it up to a minute; the images are copied into your media library. Then visit the front page to see the finished shop. 5. Change anything you like under **Shopvane > Brand colours**, **Header & layout** and **Shop & buttons**. Activating this plugin before the theme is perfectly safe: it changes nothing, and the Shopvane menu then shows a short setup screen with a button that installs the theme for you. Optional, and only if you want those parts: * **WooCommerce** – needed for the shop: products, the starter sites’ products, product cards and the shop settings. * **Elementor** – adds the two Shopvane widgets (product row, category tiles). * **Quickout** (https://wordpress.org/plugins/quickout/) – adds the inline checkout form on single product pages and the demo order funnel. ## FAQ ### How do I see this plugin actually do something? Activate the Shopvane theme, then open **Shopvane > Starter sites** and import one. With WooCommerce active you get a complete shop – homepage, menus, pages, blog posts and twelve products with images – in a single click, and every Shopvane menu tab then changes that shop live. ### I activated the plugin and nothing happened. The Shopvane theme is not active. Open the **Shopvane** menu in the sidebar: it shows the setup screen, with a button that installs and activates the theme. This plugin deliberately does nothing while another theme is running, so it can never interfere with the theme you are using. ### Do I need this plugin? No. Shopvane is a complete theme on its own. Add this when you want the control panel, a starter site, or the Elementor widgets. ### Will importing a starter site delete my products or pages? No. The importer only creates things that do not already exist, and it never touches a menu you have assigned. You can untick “Include the demo products” if you only want the design and the pages. ### The import is taking a long time. Every image is copied into your media library, which is real work on shared hosting. A full import with products takes up to a minute. Let it finish. ### Can I delete the demo products afterwards? Yes. They are ordinary WooCommerce products and ordinary media library images. ### Where did my Shop page go? If WooCommerce’s Shop, Cart or Checkout page was ever deleted, WooCommerce keeps pointing at the old page id, which can silently start resolving to an unrelated page. The importer checks those four pages and rebuilds any that are wrong before it does anything else. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Shopvane Companion” is open source software.
