One store. Three layers.

We sell our WooCommerce products under the CommerceGurus brand. Each one works on its own. Together they cover how a store looks, converts and loads.

  1. The conversion layer

    CommerceKit

    Ajax search, swatches, wishlists, countdowns, order bumps and sticky add to cart. 13 modules in one plugin.

    The fastest WooCommerce theme. It passes Core Web Vitals and is built to turn visitors into customers.
