What it does
Many shop owners want a store that looks tidy and puts products first, without writing code to get there. This theme takes a minimalist approach with clean lines and generous spacing, so product photos carry the page. It works with WooCommerce for the store itself, and includes Visual Composer for drag and drop page building plus Revolution Slider for product and promotion sliders. A one click demo import loads ready-made content, giving you a starting point you can adjust instead of a blank page.
Day to day control sits in an extensive options panel, where you can adjust most parts of the site to match your brand. Layout choices include a full width option and a transparent header, and a multi-column mega menu helps visitors move through larger catalogs. The design is responsive and retina ready, with touch enabled sliders and galleries for phone and tablet shoppers. WPML compatibility lets you run the store in more than one language, which suits shops selling to customers in different regions.
Best for

Questions about Lotus
Do I need to know how to code to customize this theme?
No. Visual Composer is included for drag and drop page building, and an extensive options panel lets you change most design settings. The one click demo import also gives you a finished layout to edit rather than building from nothing.
Can I run my store in more than one language?
Yes. Lotus is compatible with WPML, the multilingual plugin for WordPress. With WPML in place you can translate your store content and serve shoppers in different languages from the same site.
Will my store work well on phones and tablets?
The theme is fully responsive and retina ready, so layouts adapt to different screen sizes and images stay sharp on high resolution displays. Sliders and galleries are touch enabled, letting mobile shoppers swipe through them.
Is it a good fit for a store with many products?
It includes a multi-column mega menu for organizing large numbers of categories, and AJAX product grids for browsing catalogs without full page reloads. An optional wishlist lets customers save items as they browse.
Is Lotus free?
The code of Lotus is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Lotus is this?
Version 3.0, released Jan 11, 2019. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Lotus?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Lotus automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
