    Hello Support Team,

    We currently use XStore on our main e-commerce site (https://myhitch.com.au
    ) and are now planning to launch a separate website (myhitchbookings.com) dedicated entirely to services and bookable products (e.g., appointments, hotel bookings, consultations).

    Before we start developing, we would like to know:

    Does XStore offer a booking-focused demo/child theme that we can use as a base for this new website?

    Are there recommended XStore demos specifically designed for WooCommerce Bookings & Appointments functionality?

    If no ready-made booking demo is available, could you recommend the best XStore demo/layout to use for service-based marketplaces so we can customize from there?

    We want to keep design consistency with our main brand but ensure that the booking workflow (calendar, time slots, Book Now button) looks professional and user-friendly.

    Looking forward to your suggestions.

    Thank you

    Hello Support Team,

    We are planning to launch a new project — myhitchbookings.com — a dedicated booking marketplace separate from our main e-commerce site (https://myhitch.com.au).

    Our Goal

    We want to build a modern, fast, and user-friendly platform for bookable products such as appointments, consultations, and hotel bookings.

    Current Stack

    Theme: XStore (used on our main site)

    Plugins:

    WooCommerce

    PluginHive – WooCommerce Bookings & Appointments (Premium)

    PH Dokan Bookings Integration (for vendor support)

    Elementor for page building

    Our Questions

    Can you confirm that XStore is fully compatible with PluginHive Bookings & Appointments (booking calendar, time slots, “Book Now” button) and that it works correctly with your Single Product Builder?

    If extra configuration is needed (e.g., Elementor widgets), could you guide us on how to place the booking form correctly on the product page?

    Do you offer or recommend a specific XStore demo/layout optimized for booking/service websites that would be a good starting point for this new project?

    Our objective is to make sure we start with the best theme configuration and avoid compatibility issues before we begin development.

    Looking forward to your guidance and recommendations.

    Thank you

    Hello @harshana,

    Thank you for reaching out to us and for considering XStore for your upcoming project — myhitchbookings.com. We appreciate the detailed overview of your goals and current setup.

    Regarding your inquiries:

    1. Compatibility with PluginHive Bookings & Appointments:
    While XStore is built to be compatible with a wide range of third-party plugins, including booking solutions, we have not officially tested PluginHive – WooCommerce Bookings & Appointments with XStore. However, as long as the plugin follows standard WooCommerce practices, it should work correctly with our theme, including the Single Product Builder. We recommend testing the plugin in a staging environment to ensure full compatibility with your specific configuration.

    2. Booking Form Placement with Elementor and Single Product Builder:
    If the booking form is added via a shortcode or WooCommerce hook, you can use the Single Product Builder to place it in the desired location on the product page. Additionally, if the plugin provides Elementor widgets, you can use them directly within the product layout.

    3. Recommended Demo/Layout for Booking or Service Websites:
    While XStore is primarily designed for e-commerce, several of our demos can be adapted for service-based or booking websites. We recommend starting with the “Service,” “Beauty,” or “Medical” demos, as they offer clean layouts and are well-suited for appointment-based businesses. These demos can be customized further using Elementor and the Single Product Builder to match your specific needs.

    It is not possible to have the best demo with all layouts and content that can be simply imported on your web-site with not changes. However you can import the demo for testing and then use the “Content remover” functionality if such demo is not correct for your needs.

    We understand the importance of starting with the right configuration, and we are here to support you throughout your development process. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions or if you require assistance during setup.

    Best Regards,
    8Theme’s Team
