Reel 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
Reel is a storefront theme for beauty, personal care and accessories stores on CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor. Your store feels like the feed your customers already scroll: story circles to browse, 9:16 reels with a product sticker to buy, a routine builder that adds four products in one tap, portrait product tiles on candy-coloured frames and a phone layout designed first.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- The Reel theme, a child of the standard Responsive theme, so every add-on keeps working.
- Four styles:
- Papaya (default): warm peach ground, hot pink buttons, lime highlights and rounded frames.
- Ink: white, black and one red; square corners and underlined highlights for an editorial store.
- Seafoam: fresh mint ground, deep teal buttons and coral highlights.
- Velvet: a night store in near-black with neon pink buttons and lime highlights.
- Pill header: your logo, one floating pill with the main menu (long menus fold into “More”) and the search field, a wish list button with its count, the account menu and a coloured Bag pill with the number of items. No top strip, no menu bar.
- Story circles for your categories under the header. A circle turns grey after the shopper opened it (kept in the shopper’s browser).
- Shoppable reels as the homepage hero: portrait banners (9:16) with a caption, a channel label, a chip such as “NEW DROP” or “−30 % today”, an action stack (Save to the wish list, Add to the bag, Share) and a white product sticker with the photo, name, rating or unit price and a price button that adds the product.
- Routine builder: tabs by skin type (or any need you choose), four numbered steps with their own add buttons and a total card with one “Add all 4 to bag” button.
- Portrait tiles: 4:5 product frames on candy gradients with the price pill, a wish list heart, a quick “+”, the rating, the size and a countdown when the product is in a promotion with an end date.
- Product reels: deals and new products as 9:16 frames in a scrolling row with the deal countdown and a sticker.
- Journal covers from your blog, comment bubbles from your store reviews and a lime “drops” newsletter card.
- Category pages: the category name in large type with the product count, subcategories as story circles, filters as pills (a filter sheet on phones), and a Feed | Grid switch.
- Product page: large gallery on a gradient frame, a sticky buy card (category line, name, rating, price with the unit price and the saving, deal countdown, option chips, Add to cart), facts (free samples, delivery, returns), how-to step reels and a rating summary, “Complete the routine” tiles and a sticky buy bar on phones.
- Phones: a floating dark bar with Home, Search, a “+” quick shop sheet (story circles and search), Saved and Bag; the bag opens as a drawer with the free-delivery progress.
- Multi-Vendor: a creator profile at the top of every vendor page and the “by
” line on tiles and reels. - Installs with complete demo content: the store looks finished right after activation.
- Self-hosted fonts (Syne and Urbanist, SIL Open Font License): no external font requests.
Reel never shows invented social numbers: there are no likes or views. Ratings, review counts, counts and countdowns come from your store’s data and are hidden when the data is missing.
Compatibility
Section titled “Compatibility”- CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x (tested on 4.17.2 and 4.21.2).
- 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”Reel 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 Reel design; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message.
