Essence is the all-purpose theme. Its theme card describes it as "Clean, modern and fast. Works for grocery, fashion and general retail."

What sets it apart

It is the base the others build on. Souq, Pronto and Halo use Essence's product, collection, search and cart sections in their own colours and fonts.
A minimal starting point. The Starter layout is the smallest of the four, made to build up from.
Animations group. Essence is the only theme with an Animations group, holding Reveal sections on scroll.
Floating WhatsApp button. Only Essence and Bazar have the Show floating WhatsApp button switch.
No bottom tab bar setting. Souq, Pronto and Bazar each have a switch for a tab bar on phones. Essence has none.
