Today, we bring you a good news that we’ve already updated our amazing free photo gallery WordPress theme, Lensa into a photo gallery and e-commerce WordPress theme. Have you ever imagined to showcase and sell your artworks or photographs on your website? Blogging and selling at once? How great is that?

Now you can plug-and-play WooCommerce or Jigoshop, the very popular e-commerce plugins in the Lensa theme. The theme structure has been made so flexible that you may run a photo gallery website on Lensa as well as an e-commerce store. Selling photographs have never been this easy!

Before you can run both a photo gallery website and an e-commerce store, you have to activate the WooCommerce or Jigoshop plugin and create a page as a landing page for your online store. Two different layout options are available, each having different sidebar locations. Everything else about those two plugins should be configured as per theirs standard instructions.

Go check the demo site to experience everything yourself. Play around a little bit and you’ll realize that Lensa is NOT just another free photo gallery WordPress theme. Don’t forget to check out our collection of e-commerce and photography themes.
