WordPress theme · version 1.6
Market Store turns WordPress into a branded shop without WooCommerce. Customers inquire or pay by receipt — one mode at a time. Staff run products, stock, and chats from their own dashboard, and the counter sells in person.
On this page
Built for collectibles, gifts, studios, digital files, and shops that confirm payment by transfer, e-wallet, or QR instead of a card gateway.
Storefront
The front page is a hero, a catalog, FAQs, and contact. Hero layouts are Overlay, Cinematic, or Split. Logos, colors, Google fonts, and copy all come from Site Settings.
Navigation collapses into a bottom bar: Home, Products, FAQ, Contact, the inquiry list, and Login. WhatsApp stays available as Chat.
Products
Products are their own content type at /product/, with collections at /collection/. WooCommerce is not involved.
Selling modes
Site Settings chooses the mode. Open storefront tabs pick up the change. Inquiry and Buy It Now are never combined, and Preorder replaces the inquiry submit button while Buy It Now is off.
The default. Visitors add items, choose a variation, and send name, email, mobile, address, and notes. Nothing is charged on the site. Staff reply with a quote.
Buttons switch to Add to Buy List. The customer picks how they paid, can scan a QR, and uploads a receipt. Staff mark the order Paid.
Point of Sale
Open /POS/ or Dashboard → Point of Sale. POS is available in Normal Inquiry mode and sells published physical products. Digital products stay out of the counter. Buy It Now mode turns POS off.
Cash, e-wallet, card, or bank transfer, recorded after the money is received. Cash calculates change.
Print the receipt or save a PDF. Each sale has a reference, cashier, customer, and line items.
Sidebar basket by default, or a bottom basket with Proceed to payment. Phones stack the review; wider screens split items and payment.
POS uses the same dashboard colors, including dark presets. A scheme change updates an open counter without clearing the cart.
Tracked items reserve and then sell through the same inventory locks as online inquiries. Untracked items are labeled stock not tracked.
Repeating the same sale returns the original receipt instead of selling twice. Uncertain failures are flagged for review.
Sales reports
Dashboard → POS Sales Reports, or /POS/?view=reports. Filter by date, payment method, and source: all sales, POS only, or inquiries only.
Staff dashboard
/market-dashboard/, not in wp-admin.Administrators, editors, and shop managers get a front-end desk with a desktop sidebar and a mobile tab bar. Editors are steered away from wp-admin. The inbox polls for new inquiries and replies.
Live product and inquiry counts, with charts for demand, mix, pipeline, and catalog health.
Page views and referrers after the visitor accepts the analytics cookie.
Personal dashboard themes, including Forest, Ocean, Midnight, Ink, Dusk, and other light and dark presets.
Google Tag Manager or GA4. Tags print only after cookie consent.
Administrators edit titles, social cards, the sitemap, robots, and redirects without another plugin.
Create and edit from the dashboard: galleries, variations, digital files, unit cost, and media upload.
On hand, reserved, and sold. Low stock is badged. A reserve becomes a sale when the order is Paid.
Search, filters, unread badges, statuses, threaded chat, and CSV. Statuses include Pending, Processing, Done, Cancelled, and Paid.
Reorder homepage questions. When blog posts are on, staff write articles with a cover image and per-article SEO.
Registered customers, inquiry counts, and Active or Offline from recent account visits.
Branding, fonts, hero, homepage sections, contact, checkout mode, POS layout, and legal pages.
Staff can add the dashboard to a phone home screen. A separate branded staff login replaces the default screen for them.
