What Is Storefront WooCommerce Customiser?
Storefront WooCommerce Customiser is developed by WooCommerce and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional online retailers. This extension is designed specifically to work with the official Storefront theme and its child themes, ensuring complete compatibility with core updates.
The plugin resolves the difficulty of modifying theme templates by exposing design settings directly in the WordPress Customizer. It is built for store owners who want to match their site appearance to their brand identity without hiring a developer for minor adjustments.
Storefront WooCommerce Customiser Features
Storefront Customiser features are built around providing absolute control over site architecture, typography, and color schemes via a point-and-click interface.
Header and Layout Configuration
The plugin includes a drag-and-drop header layout configurator. Users can easily add or remove header components such as the brand logo, cart icon, and primary navigation menus. This flexibility allows for unique branding across different ecommerce projects without editing header.php files.
Checkout and Conversion Optimization
The customizer provides a toggle to switch between various checkout layouts. It includes a distraction-free mode designed to hide unnecessary site elements during the final purchase steps, which helps boost conversion rates. Changes made here are global and take effect immediately across all payment pathways.
Global Product Page Editing
Storefront Customiser allows for the global configuration of single product pages. You can hide unwanted text boxes or tabs, modify the appearance of the product image gallery, and adjust typography. These settings apply to the entire catalog, ensuring a consistent look across thousands of products.
Instant Visual Styling
The extension allows you to select elements and style them in real time. This includes adjusting Google fonts, site colors, margins, and padding. From the main site container to individual buttons and product grids, the plugin provides microscopic control over the visual presentation of the WooCommerce store.

Storefront Customiser retails for $59 annually when purchased directly from the vendor. This includes one year of updates and support for a single site. WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan which supports unlimited sites.

Use Cases
Customizing Official Storefront Child Themes
Many users start with a free Storefront child theme but need to change specific colors or layouts that aren’t available by default. Storefront Customiser bridges this gap by adding deep styling options to any Storefront-based site ecommerce layout.
Optimizing Checkout for Mobile Conversion
By using the distraction-free checkout mode and custom header layouts, store owners can simplify the mobile shopping experience. Removing navigation and footers during checkout prevents users from leaving the sales funnel prematurely.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Maintaining a library of licensed plugins for dozens of clients is expensive. Using WPExclusive allows agencies to deploy Storefront Customiser across unlimited client projects without the $59 per-site annual overhead, while still maintaining high design standards.
