Everything you need to get started with Blocksy Theme and Companion

Getting Started with WooCommerce

Blocksy has full support for the popular WooCommerce product in order to transform your website into an amazing online shop, elevating the experience for your shoppers and providing neat features that add that cherry on top.

To get started with creating your very first e-Commerce website, simply install the WooCommerce plugin from the WordPress repository. Once installed and set up, a brand new section will appear under Blocksy’s customiser.

Granular Controls

In WooCommerce’s general menu you will be able to find options for customising the various messages generated by the plugin, how the star ratings look like for products, the quantity input look and feel, as well as the overall options for product badges.

There are also options for customising the account, checkout and cart pages with a few features. And of course, separate options for all of our Shop Extra sub-extensions.

Messages

Info Messages

These selections let you customise the way the informational messages – i.e. when something notable is generated by WooCommerce – look like. There are customisation options for the information box itself, fonts and buttons.

Success Messages

These selections let you customise the way the success messages – i.e. an operation has been completed successfully in WooCommerce – look like. There are customisation options for the information box itself, fonts and buttons.

Error Messages

These selections let you customise the way the error messages – i.e. when something went bad in WooCommerce and requires your attention – look like. There are customisation options for the information box itself, fonts and buttons.
