Ember — marketplace theme for Shopify & WooCommerce

All the buzz of a marketplace. None of the tat.

Category bubbles, lightning deals, shop-by-budget and an app-style bar on phones. Wrapped in soft colours, a proper serif and a bit of British cheek. Install it tonight, then edit every word yourself.

Ember home page: a pink welcome card reading Proper lovely things, sensible prices, beside lightning deals and new-in tiles
Ember on a phone, with a big search bar and an app-style bar along the bottom

Every screen

Built for phones first. Lovely everywhere else.

Most of your customers will meet you on a phone, mid-scroll, thumb hovering. So the search bar is huge, the basket is one tap away and the bottom bar feels like an app.

What makes it a marketplace

The bits that make people buy one more thing.

Round category pictures: kitchen, tea time, rainy days, garden and more

Category bubbles

A swipeable row of round pictures, like the apps people already use. One tap to an aisle.

Lightning deals heading with a countdown timer

Installing

Shopify: Online Store → Themes → Add theme → Upload zip file. WooCommerce: Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme. Upload the zip as it is. Don't unzip it.

TakesAbout two minutes.

The licence

One store or site per licence. Build it for a client? Buy a licence for each client. The WooCommerce code is GPL like WordPress. The Shopify theme is licensed, not sold.

In shortOne licence, one shop.

Refunds

It's a download, so once you've downloaded it the 14-day cooling-off period no longer applies. Checkout asks you to agree to that. But if it won't install and I can't fix it, you get your money back.

PromiseIt works, or you're refunded.

Stuck? Email sarah@sarahjhill.com with your licence key. You'll get a human, usually the same day.

Let's get you taken seriously.

Tell me what you do and what's driving you mad about it. Two working days, an honest answer — even if that answer is “this isn't for you, and here's why”.
