A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. — WordPress Codex: Child Themes

Deli is a child theme for Storefront, the official WooCommerce theme. It features a texturized, tactile design, perfect for natural goods. It has an informal, natural and friendly aesthetic, making it a good choice for stores selling handmade products as well.

FAQ
