Is Hello Commerce compatible with all WooCommerce plugins?
Hello Commerce is designed for core WooCommerce. We do not guarantee compatibility with third-party plugins.
Can Hello Commerce improve website performance?
Hello Commerce is optimized for speed and efficiency, ensuring a fast-loading, responsive experience. It’s built upon one of the best performing themes in the WordPress themes ecosystem, Hello Theme. By integrating directly with Elementor, it minimizes unnecessary bloat and keeps your site streamlined.
What are Hello+ Widgets, and how do they benefit me?
The jumbo widgets that come with Hello+ are pre-designed, purpose-built widgets that simplify the design process. They provide ready-made layouts and elements, such as headers with built in carts and hero sections, specifically for business sites, helping you create a professional look intuitively. For Elementor Pro users, all Hello+ widgets can be used with dynamic tags so you can easily customize your single product pages and product grids effortlessly.Â

Yes! Hello Commerce supports full customization through Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor. Headers and footers can be customized extensively with visual preset layouts, intuitive styling and behavior settings.Â

For deeper customization of product and shop pages, including custom product grids and templates, you’ll need Elementor Pro. It unlocks advanced WooCommerce controls along with powerful marketing features like a popup builder, coupon bars, and integrations, helping you build a fully branded shopping experience with ease.
Will my site be mobile-friendly with Hello Commerce?
Absolutely. Hello Commerce kits are built to be fully responsive, so your store looks great and works smoothly on all devices, from desktop to mobile. And if you would like to make further improvements on responsive views, all Elementor widgets provide intuitive customization for all screen sizes.Â
Is it safe to switch the theme of my existing WooCommerce theme to Hello Commerce?
We don’t recommend switching themes directly on a live WooCommerce store without thorough testing. WooCommerce sites often rely on specific layouts, customizations, and plugins that can behave differently with a new theme. That’s true whether you’re coming from a premium theme or a default one.
Instead, we suggest trying Hello Commerce in a staging or test environment first. It’s lightweight, fast, and comes with built-in WooCommerce styling, so you can see how your store content looks and explore its features safely. We’re confident you’ll find it a powerful foundation for your store, especially if you’re just starting out or planning a fresh relaunch.
Will Hello Commerce work with third-party WooCommerce plugins?
Hello Commerce is built to follow WooCommerce and Elementor best practices, which means it should work well with most reputable plugins. That said, we always recommend testing any plugin in a staging environment first, especially if it affects the product, cart, or checkout experience.
What should I do if something breaks after switching themes?
If you’re testing Hello Commerce and run into layout or functionality issues, try deactivating custom plugins one by one to find any conflicts. If you’re still stuck, our support team is here to help, just send us the details of your setup.
