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
ProShop is a child theme for
Storefront, the official WooCommerce theme. If offers an edgy, texture-rich design that lends itself to sports/urban fashion and equipment.
ProShop is a Storefront child theme, so you first need to install and set up Storefront and then ProShop afterwards.

It’s possible to import
WooCommerce Dummy Data to populate your site with demo products as a starting point.
Note: We do not supply the exact images you see in our ProShop demo due to copyright restrictions. The WooCommerce Dummy Data instead comes with our own unique unrestricted images that we can redistribute within product import data.
ProShop applies some specific styles to elements like buttons and the header layout, so these settings are removed from the designer to avoid confusion.

A lot of WordPress tutorials will recommend inserting code snippets into a child themes functions.php file. This is to ensure that you’re always able to update the parent theme without losing your changes. As ProShop is already a child theme, you aren’t able to do this. Any changes you add to ProShop’s functions.php file will be lost when you perform an update. Instead, it is recommended that you add any code snippets to a customization plugin. We’ve created a plugin you can use to do just this. Download
Theme Customizations.
