Storefill – Demo Content Importer

A new store looks empty until it has products. Storefill fills it with the demo content your theme was designed around, so you can see every section working and then swap the demo products for your own. Open Appearance → Import demo, check the requirements, and click Import demo content. For Vitrena, eBasket, Luma and Unishop, Storefill first installs or updates and activates WooCommerce when needed. Plugin setup runs on this screen, with activation redirects suppressed, before any content is imported. If setup fails, the import stops and offers Try again. Storefill adds:

• Products, with photos, prices, sale prices, stock, specifications, variations and reviews
• Product categories with images, brands and filterable attributes
• Pages and blog posts
• A navigation menu
• The demo's look: one of the theme's own style variations for block themes (Twenty Twenty-Five imports in its Noon style), and Customizer settings and widgets for classic themes
• The demo homepage and blog page (optional)

Safe on a store that already has content

• Your own content is never changed or deleted. If a product, page or category with the same name already exists, Storefill uses it as it is.
• Every item Storefill adds, and the previous value of every setting it changes, is recorded. Remove demo content deletes exactly those items and restores those settings. Content you added yourself is kept.
• Your store's visibility, title, address, currency, payments and shipping are left alone unless you tick "This is a public demo site".

For theme demo sites Tick This is a public demo site (or use --demo-site on the command line) to also set the site title and store address, switch store visibility to Live, turn on pretty permalinks, unpublish WordPress's sample post and page, and add a demo checkout: a payment method that takes no money and delivery methods, so visitors can place a test order. Never use this option on a real store. WP-CLI wp storefill packs wp storefill import unishop --demo-site wp storefill status unishop wp storefill remove unishop --yes Supported themes Demo packs are available for Twenty Twenty-Five (the default WordPress theme), Unishop, eBasket, Luma and Vitrena. Packs for more themes are added to the demo library over time; Storefill finds them without an update. For theme developers A demo pack is a few JSON files (content, dashboard settings, Customizer settings and widgets) and a folder of photos in the public demo-pack repository. Its README documents the format. Nothing in a pack is executed: Storefill only reads data and imports images through the WordPress media library. Pack text is treated as plain text (any HTML is stripped), and a pack can only change a fixed list of store and site-identity settings, never accounts, roles, URLs or security settings. A pack may declare required_plugins, with each entry specifying a WordPress.org slug, display name, plugin entry file (for example, woocommerce/woocommerce.php) and minimum_version. The admin importer prepares these plugins before importing content. Plugin downloads come only from WordPress.org; a pack cannot supply a plugin download URL or executable code.
