Shopkeeper is a clean, multipurpose WooCommerce theme built by GetBowtied. It’s Gutenberg-optimized and lets you choose your page builder—Elementor (official), WPBakery (included), or the native Block Editor. A setup wizard handles plugin installs and one-click demo import, and you can switch on Catalog Mode to hide cart/checkout when you just need a product catalog.
How It Works
- Install & run the wizard: Activate the theme and follow the setup wizard to install required plugins and import demo content.
- Pick your builder: Use Elementor (official), WPBakery, or Gutenberg—your choice.
- Customize: Tweak headers, typography, colors, and shop options in the Customizer. (Catalog Mode is under Shop settings.)
- Launch: Add products, configure WooCommerce, and go live. Documentation covers updates and maintenance.

- Keep product images optimized (consistent sizes) to make galleries and grids look sharp.
