Hi all,
As you already know, once in a while we keep upgrading our e-commerce themes with newer necessary features and modules. However, all our e-commerce themes share same code in the backend and it becomes a bit difficult to upgrade if you have already made design changes into the theme.
Why this framework?
You’d be glad to know that we’ve created a unique and powerful framework based on the same framework where designs will work as child themes. Means, you can upgrade future upgrades without changing your design modifications 
If you are a developer, the possibilities are endless. Creating additional modules, child themes and so on.
What’s new?
Everything.
We’ve changed it completely to make it future proof. Added countless small and big features that you actually need. I’d rather let you explore the framework and experience the difference but here’s some of the things that you will get excited about
- E-commerce framework
- Endless design possibilities with child themes.
- Revolutionary one click auto-install of the framework + child themes
- Reformed tax module. Set your taxes as you like
- Set your own payment gateways
- Define and name your own product attributes. Size, name, color, etc. etc. etc.
- Almost everything is widget ready. Simply drag and drop.
- Revised theme control panel
- Upload unlimited product images. Choose how you wish to show them
- It is open for integration with our future modules.
That’s not all. You will need to install the framework and experience all the change that has been made.
Would you like to beta test?
Right now, we are looking for beta testers to test this framework and child themes, providing suggestions, reporting bugs and so on. Also this is a unique opportunity for you to suggest changes before we make it available for everyone.
Please login to your member area and you will be able to download “E-Commerce Framework – beta” zip file. It includes the framework and a sample child theme. (you should have purchased one of our e-commerce themes)
How to install?
- Download the framework from member area and you will find two folders in zip file. E-commerce Framework and eShop child theme.
- Upload them in your wp-content/themes folder.
- Under your wp-admin > appearance > themes, activate the framework and take a look, explore all the different addition, upgrades etc. that we made.
- Once you are done exploring the framework, activate the eShop child theme from wp-admin > appearance > themes section and you will see that your site now features a custom design with the power of awesome framework we created.

As I said in the past, You are the INNOVATION ENGINE in Premium WordPress Theme.
This is another great example. Fantastic work done by RBhavesh
Appreciate your comments. This helluva task is done by whole templatic team. I am just providing them guidance and strategy.
That’s awesome news. Templatic is one of the most exciting theme clubs around I have to say.
Hi, I was tempted to buy one of your e-commerce templates. After taking the test-drive, there is one thing though that keeps me from doing that: The lack of international shipping support. I suggest strongly, that you add shipping rate based on whether the address is domestic or international. Currently in your setup there is always the same one shipping rate for domestic or international deliveries, which is quite odd…
Would be great to see that implemented in the e-commerce framework!
Agreed. Thats the actual purpose of involving enthusiastic people like you in the beta test. The rework of shipping is into the agenda and we are going to include it into the framework.
Maybe you can take active part in the beta test? Post here: http://templatic.com/community
Would very much like help, but since i am waiting for the shipping rework to be included in a final product before i buy it, i wont be able to take part in beta testing (no account).
Cheers!
I hope that translations will be available in the new framework soon.
You’re doing well, go on…

Indeed. It is a part of this framework. We did provide .MO files. Would love to have you as a beta tester for one of the language translation
Hello,
I’m trying to translate the eCommerce Theme to Slovak language. I already translated the .po file in PoEdit software and create the .mo file afterward, but it’s doesn’t work for me. Do you know, if there is needed anything else to do, or just copying .po and .mo files to localization folder in eCommerce is enough.
Many Thanks in advance for help,
Milos, Slovakia
Hi,
i translated it recently into Czech. Problem is, that you have to merge wordpress and templatic .po files into one file and just place exported .mo file into 0:/www/wp-content/languages/ folder. There is a small complication, that wordpress and templatic .po files have few same lines in translation on what Poedit gives errors – so you have to delete one of these lines.
You can try translating with wordpress plugin – tutorial is on Templatic blog. I did not tried it yet.
It would be also nice to join our effort to tune templatic eshop templates in Czech-Slovak enviroment.
Yes, the framework is the way to go. It makes a huge difference in maintainability of a site if the core functions are part of the framework. I think what sets you apart from the other frameworks out there is that you have some very clever vertical functions i.e. real estate search and registration that the other framework only options don’t offer.
Very impressive.
I’m interested in participating in your Beta program for your ecommerce framework. How do I get a member ID so I can participate?
