Quato - Responsive WooCommerce WordPress Theme 1.0.3

Quato is a modern, high-performance WooCommerce WordPress theme designed for online retailers who want a "premium boutique" feel. Developed by Clapat (the same studio behind VAUSS and Accent), it brings their signature seamless AJAX transitions and minimalist aesthetic to the world of e-commerce.

It is particularly effective for high-end fashion, interior design, or artisanal product brands where the visual presentation is just as important as the checkout process.

## Key Features

AJAX Shopping Experience: Customers can browse products and move between pages without the site refreshing, creating a fast, fluid, "app-like" shopping flow.

Modern Product Showcase: Features unique hover effects, specialized product sliders, and "Quick View" options that keep the focus on the product imagery.

Elementor Integration: Fully compatible with Elementor, allowing you to design custom product landing pages and homepages with drag-and-drop ease.

Minimalist Checkout: A clean, distraction-free checkout process designed to reduce cart abandonment and improve conversion rates.

Adaptive Images: Automatically serves the correctly sized image for different screen resolutions, ensuring the site stays fast even with high-resolution product photography.

### Technical Requirements

Because of its advanced animation system, Quato requires a solid hosting environment:

PHP Version: 7.4 or higher (8.1+ highly recommended).

Memory Limit: 512MB is recommended to handle the combination of WooCommerce and AJAX scripts.

Required Plugins: WooCommerce, Elementor, and the Clapat Quato Theme Addons (bundled with the theme).

SSL Certificate: Essential for secure WooCommerce transactions and building customer trust.

### Setup & E-commerce Strategy

High-Quality Lookbooks: Quato excels at storytelling. Use the Lookbook template to link lifestyle photography directly to product pages, allowing customers to "shop the look."

AJAX Navigation: In the theme options, ensure AJAX is enabled for the shop filters. This allows users to filter by "Size" or "Color" without the page reloading, which significantly improves the mobile shopping experience.

Product Video: Use the integrated video support on the Single Product page. For fashion or decor, seeing a product in motion helps bridge the gap between digital browsing and physical reality.

Global Typography: Quato often uses sophisticated, airy fonts. Keep your product titles concise to maintain the clean, "high-fashion" grid layout the theme is known for.

Pro Tip: For a luxury shop, "Less is More." Avoid using too many sales banners or "Pop-up" discounts that clutter the clean Quato aesthetic. Let the high-resolution imagery and smooth transitions do the selling for you.
