Das Essence Theme ist schlicht, modern und gleichzeitig sehr funktionsreich. Der Aufbau ist logisch und leicht verständlich. Besonders begeistert hat mich der Support: super hilfsbereit, schnell und lösungsorientiert. Ein Fehler in meinem Shop wurde direkt behoben – ganz ohne auf ein Update warten zu müssen. Ich würde mich jederzeit wieder für dieses Theme entscheiden!

Version 3.2.0 April 11, 2025
This update adds a new setting to control heading HTML tags for SEO, adds support for free shipping thresholds in multiple currencies, and includes a range of usability improvements.

- Support for defining free shipping thresholds in multiple currencies.
Changed
- Renamed heading size options from "H1", "H2", etc. to descriptive names like "2X-Large" and "X-Large" to avoid confusion with the SEO HTML tag settings.
