AI

72 of 83 reviews are positive, 3 neutral and 8 negative. Merchants most often praise the responsive, patient support team, the clean code, the wide customisation options and fast page speed.

Sadly no Cart Drawer option, wich is industry standard by now. Over the coming months nothing happened... :-(

Using this theme for almous a year now, quite happy. Turned out it contains features I have not been even evaluating at first (like sharing reviews with google), and recently when having an issue with new markets feature their support was very knowledgeable and able to steer me in the right direction.

Could be a great theme, but compare to competition it misses a lot of freedom... Mostly in the fonts/titles

The customer support helped me with a specific problem I was facing and trying to solve for over a week. They gave me qualified input so I could find the problem – which was not even caused by them or their theme – super quickly.
