Arcade theme
Edition: CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor · Latest version: 1.0.0 · Compatible with: CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x, PHP 7.4 – 8.3 · Changelog: view
Arcade is a storefront theme for marketplaces of independent shops on Multi-Vendor and for multi-brand stores on CS-Cart. Your store looks like a covered shopping street: every vendor (or every top-level category) gets a lit shop window with its own facade colour, a sign, a striped awning and its best goods on the shelves; a directory board finds any shop from A to Z, a chalkboard sells today’s offers and products stand on wooden shelves with hanging price tags.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- The Arcade theme, a child of the standard Responsive theme, so every add-on keeps working.
- Four styles:
- Lantern (default): a warm evening street on a pavement-cream ground, eight enamel facade colours, gold signs, wooden shelves, a green chalkboard and a navy directory board.
- Neon: a night market: dark street, deep facades and glowing sign letters in eight neon colours, warm lit windows.
- Chalk: a line drawing in black and white with one cobalt accent and square corners.
- Pier: a seaside street on white with pastel facades, navy signs and coral rules.
- Header: text links on the left (Directory, Today’s offers, New in), your logo in the centre like a shop sign, search, account and a Bag button with the number of items on the right; a row of glass-roof arches underneath and your main menu as a slim row of shop names. No top strip, no menu bar.
- The street as the homepage hero: a horizontal row of shop windows, one per vendor on Multi-Vendor or one per top-level category on CS-Cart. Each window shows the window number and department, the shop name on a sign board, a striped awning, the shop’s best-selling products on two lit shelves with small price tags (red on sale), a plate with the shop rating, city and item count, and an Enter shop door. Visible arrows, “1-3 of 8” and keyboard control; the mouse wheel is never taken over. On phones the windows stack.
- Today’s offers chalkboard: your sale products as menu lines with old and new price and an add button, plus one countdown to the end of the promotion (only when the promotion has an end date).
- Goods on shelves: products stand on a wooden shelf board that runs under the whole row; the price tag hangs on a string under the board, with the old price on sale. Add button, seller line on Multi-Vendor, rating or countdown.
- Directory board: every shop from A to Z with an A-Z index, its department, city, window number and item count.
- Arcade news posters from your blog, a guest book of store reviews and a brass letterbox for the newsletter; the footer starts with a row of arches.
- Category pages (CS-Cart: the category is a shop): the category’s facade with its sign, awning, a lit window with the description and facts (items, aisles, “from” price) and aisle signs for the subcategories.
- Vendor pages (Multi-Vendor): the vendor’s facade with its logo, description, shop rating, city, item count, the year it opened and the shop’s departments as aisle signs; “Open for orders” or “On holiday” with our Vendor Holiday Mode add-on.
- Product page: the product stands on a shop counter, the seller’s sign card hangs above the name (Multi-Vendor: “Sold by”, rating, city, “Visit shop”; CS-Cart: the product’s shop category), a large hanging price tag, the deal countdown, option chips and More from this shop.
- Phones: stacked windows, a bottom bar with Street, Directory, Search and Cart, a sticky buy bar, a swipe gallery and a filter sheet.
- Installs with complete demo content: the store looks finished right after activation.
- Self-hosted fonts (Limelight and Work Sans, SIL Open Font License): no external font requests.
The goods in every window are your shops’ real best sellers. Arcade keeps them in a cache that is renewed as soon as products, prices, images or promotions change, so the street stays fast with many shops.
Compatibility
Section titled “Compatibility”- CS-Cart, CS-Cart Ultimate, Multi-Vendor and Multi-Vendor Ultimate 4.17.2 – 4.21.x (tested on 4.17.2 and 4.21.2).

Licence
Section titled “Licence”Arcade 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 Arcade design; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message. See Configuration.
