Agora theme
Edition: Multi-Vendor only · Latest version: 1.0.0 · Compatible with: Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x, PHP 7.4 – 8.3 · Changelog: view
Agora is a marketplace theme for CS-Cart Multi-Vendor, made for general marketplaces where many sellers compete on price. Its promise to shoppers: the best price, from a seller you can trust. Every card shows the price, the saving, how many sellers offer the same item and from which price, and who sells it with a badge earned from real reviews.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- The Agora theme, a child of the standard Responsive theme, so every add-on keeps working.
- Four styles that change more than the accent:
- Sunrise: warm white store, white header with an orange-ringed search, ink menu bar, orange buttons, a deal-yellow flash band and hairline cards.
- Ruby: cream store with a red header band, square corners, borderless cards with red prices and italic deal words, scalloped coupon tickets.
- Lagoon: cool-mint store with a deep teal header, pill buttons and search, soft-shadow cards and yellow deals.
- Midnight: near-black store with orange accents, yellow deals, outline cards and light image wells.
- Search-first header: a large search box with a department select, trending searches under it, wish list, account and a cart button with the cart total.
- All categories drawer: one button in the menu bar opens a full-height panel with every category, its icon, its item count and its subcategories; on phones the bottom bar “Menu” opens it. Next to it the campaign row (Flash sale with a live clock, Today’s deals, Coupons, Bestsellers, New arrivals, New shops).
- Homepage: the coupon wall (a campaign slider and coupon tickets built from your real coupon promotions: value, code with a Copy button, minimum order and end date), the flash-sale strip with one large clock that counts down to the real end of the promotion, category circles, Today’s best deals, Top picks by department in tabs, Stores you’ll like (store cards with badge, rating, items and three offers), New arrivals, a seller badges and become-a-seller band, the journal, a trust row and an SEO text.
- Offer cards (six per row on large screens): discount badge, quick add, big price with the crossed price, “3 sellers from $X” when several shops offer the same item, rating with the review count, the seller with its badge tier (Top seller, Rated seller, New shop), a free shipping chip and the promotion countdown.
- Product page: big price with the saving, the offers summary, the seller card, buyer protection facts, Buy now next to Add to cart (also in the sticky bar on phones) and the Best offers table with every offer of the item (seller, badge, rating, shipping, stock, price, Add to cart).
- Category pages with subcategory chips, filters and a coupon tile in the product grid; store pages with a store header (logo, badge, rating, items, city, selling since).
- Cart side panel, sticky header, tab bar and buy bar on phones, subtle animations (off for visitors who prefer reduced motion).
- Installs with complete demo content: the marketplace looks finished right after activation.
- Self-hosted font (Rubik, SIL Open Font License): no external font requests.
Agora never shows invented numbers: counts, ratings, badges, coupons and clocks all come from your store’s data and are hidden when the data is missing.
Compatibility
Section titled “Compatibility”- Multi-Vendor and Multi-Vendor Ultimate 4.17.2 – 4.21.x (tested on 4.17.2 and 4.21.2). The add-on refuses to install on CS-Cart (the theme is built around vendors and their offers).
- PHP 7.2.5 to 8.3, depending on your CS-Cart version.
- Works with the full page cache of 4.21.
Licence
Section titled “Licence”Agora uses a domain-bound licence like every Kavio Labs product. Without a valid licence (after the 14-day period of a new installation, or 14 days after the licence server became unreachable) the storefront shows the standard Responsive look instead of the Agora design; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message. See Configuration.
