Peddlar’s usage is intended to be hugely diverse. Powered by our robust WooFramework, each and every homepage module can be ordered, or disabled. Primarily intended as a storefront theme, the homepage includes an area for showcasing your latest products, as well as support for the WooCommerce Brands extension to navigate by product brands.
A fully customizable homepage
Peddlar provides you with every module you might need to have on a store website. Each module comes bundled with it’s own widget, which can be customised above the blog posts on your homepage.
Featured slider
