I've been running a small web agency for about six years now, and I test a lot of WooCommerce themes on the job. Most of them fall into two buckets: bloated and slow, or lightweight but painfully rigid. Puca came out of that second camp, but it's been patched enough times now to land somewhere in between. Version 2.6.4.6 feels like the most mature build they've shipped.
What It Actually Is
Puca is a multi-store WooCommerce theme for WordPress. That means a single installation can run several shops, each with its own layout, color scheme, and product catalog, all managed through one admin panel. It's aimed at agencies or resellers who need to spin up a storefront quickly without custom coding — and honestly, it works for that. The install-to-live workflow takes roughly five to ten minutes on a fresh site.
The Builder Workflow
The theme leans on Elementor as its primary page builder, with full Gutenberg support as a fallback. You get a stack of pre-built demo stores — electronics, fashion, home goods, cosmetics — that import in one click. From there, every section is a draggable widget. Headers, footers, product archives, single-product layouts: all editable without touching PHP.
The real win here is the Theme Options panel. It's not buried in a submenu hidden three levels deep. It lives at the top of the customizer, and most toggles are actual switches, not cryptic dropdowns. Want to swap the primary font? There's a Google Fonts picker that loads the live preview as you scroll. Want to change the add-to-cart button color site-wide? One field, no CSS needed.
WooCommerce & Multi-Store
This is where Puca earns its keep. The multi-store setup isn't a gimmick — it's a genuine feature. You can enable separate catalogs per store, assign different checkout flows, and even run A/B color schemes between locations. The product grid supports masonry, list, and carousel views out of the box. Quick view popups, wishlist buttons, and AJAX add-to-cart are all toggled on from the same panel where you set the store name.
Mobile performance is noticeably better than most competitors at this price point. I tested the fashion demo on a Pixel 6a over 4G, and the core web vitals came back solid: LCP under 2 seconds, CLS near zero. The theme strips unused CSS by default and defers non-critical JS, which saves about 40 KB of payload compared to baseline Elementor templates.
The Things Nobody Talks About
Documentation. This is rare for a Chinese-market theme: the docs are actually useful. Not just screenshot dumps, but step-by-step screenshots with callouts pointing to the exact option in the panel. Setup videos exist for the major demo imports. And the support forum response time averages under four hours during business days.
One caveat — if you're running WooCommerce with 50,000+ SKUs and complex variable products, you'll want to pair this with a caching plugin like WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache out of the gate. The theme itself doesn't include a built-in caching layer, and without one the product archive queries can feel heavy on large catalogs.

Bottom Line
Puca v2.6.4.6 is a solid pick if you're building one to five WooCommerce stores and want to hand the client a working storefront without writing a single line of PHP. It's not the lightest theme on the market, and aggressive caching is non-negotiable for large catalogs. But for agencies juggling multiple small-to-medium shop builds, the multi-store dashboard and the no-code theme options save more time than almost any competitor I've tested. Download it, run the fashion demo, and see if the workflow fits your team. It's worth fifteen minutes of your day.
