Hire XStore Developers

XStore is a WooCommerce-focused ThemeForest theme with over 35,000 sales and one of the largest pre-built WooCommerce demo libraries available. Its built-in e-commerce features and extensive customisation options regularly require a developer to configure and extend correctly.

What Does a XStore Developer Do?

XStore is a premium WooCommerce theme developed by 8theme and sold on ThemeForest. It is built specifically around WooCommerce and includes a large library of pre-built store demos for different retail niches. XStore bundles Elementor (or WPBakery in older versions) alongside its own page builder elements, and includes built-in WooCommerce features: AJAX add-to-cart, product quick view, variation swatches, wishlist, and an advanced product filter.

XStore’s product page builder allows detailed customisation of single product templates using a drag-and-drop interface – similar to Flatsome’s approach. The theme’s header builder supports multiple header layouts including sticky, transparent, and full-screen navigation. XStore also includes its own header and footer template library with over 100 pre-built options.

8theme provides active support and regular updates, and XStore has a dedicated support plugin (ST Core) that handles much of the theme’s extended functionality. Keeping XStore and ST Core in sync and updated is an ongoing maintenance requirement for XStore sites.

When Do You Need a XStore Specialist?

XStore development work typically involves:

  • Demo import and brand customisation – importing an XStore demo and adapting typography, colours, and content to a specific brand.
  • Custom product page layout – building a specific product page template using XStore’s product page builder.
  • Header configuration – setting up a custom header layout using XStore’s header builder.
  • WooCommerce feature configuration – AJAX filters, swatches, quick view.
  • Child theme and CSS customisation beyond the customiser.
  • Performance optimisation – reducing XStore’s asset loading.

What to Look for in a XStore Developer

Look for developers who have specifically built or configured XStore sites. XStore’s product page builder and header builder have their own interfaces that differ from standard Elementor or WPBakery work. Ask about their experience with the ST Core plugin specifically, as much of XStore’s extended functionality runs through it.

Common XStore Problems a Developer Can Fix

Common XStore problems:

  • XStore AJAX filter not working – a caching plugin is caching filtered results. Configure the caching plugin to exclude AJAX filter requests.
  • Product quick view not loading – a JavaScript conflict is preventing the quick view AJAX request. Check browser console errors and test with other plugins disabled.
  • ST Core and XStore version mismatch – XStore updated but ST Core did not, or vice versa. Update both together from the theme update panel.

XStore Maintenance & Ongoing Work

XStore and ST Core must be updated together. 8theme provides updates through ThemeForest and requires an active Envato licence. Test updates on staging – XStore updates occasionally change product page builder element output.
