Arot – Wholesale WordPress Theme for Rice, Dal & Oil

Arot is a wholesale WordPress theme for shops that sell rice, dal, oil, flour, sugar, onions and potatoes in bulk or as a monthly bazar, to homes, offices, restaurants and small shops. It has a deep teal and mustard look on a jute texture that feels like a busy godown in Badamtoli.

Buyers pick a product, choose a Family Pack or a Bulk Pack of five, add it to the cart and pay cash on delivery. Arot runs on the free WooCommerce plugin, so stock, coupons, orders and payments work the normal way, and any WooCommerce plugin can be added later.

The one-click demo brings 30 products in six categories (Rice, Dal & Lentils, Edible Oil, Flour & Suji, Sugar & Salt and Onion, Potato & Garlic), ready pages and blog posts.

Who this wholesale WordPress theme is for

Bulk buyers care about three things: today's price, the weight they get and when the sacks arrive. Arot puts all three on the first screen. It fits:

• Rice and dal wholesalers who want to sell online to homes and shops.
• Monthly bazar services that deliver a family's whole month in one go.
• Arot and godown owners moving from phone orders to a website.
• Restaurant and hotel suppliers that deliver oil, flour and onions weekly.
• Mill brands selling their own rice or atta directly.
• Office canteen suppliers with fixed monthly orders.
• Corner shop distributors who restock small grocers.

If you have browsed rice website templates before, you may have found nice pictures with no shop behind them. Arot is a working WooCommerce store with a cart, checkout, accounts and order history.

A godown design that shows prices first

A thin utility bar at the top carries a line such as "Wholesale & retail" and your delivery offer. Under it comes a big search header with a bulk-order button, so a shop owner can type "miniket" and see results with prices as they type, or tap straight through to a bulk order.

The colours are deep teal, mustard and jute brown. Category cards are shaped like sacks, and the footer has a stitched edge like a jute bag. The design is warm but businesslike, which is what a buyer expects from a wholesale WordPress theme.

Designed for phones

Shop owners order from a phone between customers. The phone layout has one main banner, cards two per row, large pack buttons, a menu sheet from the left and a bottom tab bar with Home, Shop, Cart and Account.

Homepage blocks you can switch on, off and reorder

Every block has an on/off switch and its own fields in Theme Options, and you can change their order without code.

Hero with today's market rates

A search hero with your headline in Bangla or English, category chips and a few figures, next to a market rates board. Each row shows an item, its unit, today's price and the change since yesterday, such as "Miniket rice, per kg, ৳78, -2". You type the rates in Theme Options each morning; a small note can say when and where they come from.

Sack-shaped categories

"Shop by Sack" shows each category as a sack card with an icon, so rice, dal and oil are found in one tap.

Monthly bazar packs

Three ready packs, such as a Bachelor Pack, a Family Pack and a Big Family Pack, each with who it is for, the price, the saving and the full list of items. The "Order this pack" button opens WhatsApp with the pack name, so your team can confirm the order and any changes.

Wholesale deals

A grid of products you tag "hot", for this week's best bulk prices.

Buy more, pay less

A tier table that shows how the price falls with quantity, such as 3% off for 5–9 packs and 6% off for 10–24, with free delivery from a set amount. Beside it, a call-out for shops and restaurants with an "Apply on WhatsApp" button for a wholesale account. The table is text you write; to apply tier prices in the cart automatically, add any WooCommerce bulk-pricing plugin.

Quick price lists

Three short lists for rice, dal and oil, each item with its price and a link, so a buyer can compare every rice you sell at a glance.

Most ordered, trust strip, reviews, FAQ and blog

A best sellers grid, a strip of four promises, three review cards, a FAQ block with a WhatsApp help line and your latest "Bazar Tips" posts. The demo reviews and figures are placeholder text.

Product pages for sacks and packs

Every demo product is a variable product with two options: Family Pack and Bulk Pack (×5), each with its own price. The card button reads "Choose Pack". Add more options, such as 5 kg, 25 kg and 50 kg sacks, with WooCommerce's normal variations.

• Gallery with a discount tag when an item is on sale.
• Price range and an "In Stock" pill.
• Short text about the variety, mill or origin.
• Secure payment strip with the logos you accept.
• Pack buttons, quantity, Add to Cart and Buy Now.
• Three promise boxes for delivery, cash on delivery and returns.
• Key highlights card from the product details.
• Help card with Call and WhatsApp buttons; WhatsApp opens with the product name.

Description, Additional information and Reviews tabs follow, with a score card above the reviews, then related products. Everything uses WooCommerce's own templates, so plugins that add minimum quantities or price tables hook into this wholesale WordPress theme normally.

Cart, checkout and delivery

The cart and checkout show a three-step bar (Shopping cart, Delivery & payment, Order placed), a free-delivery progress bar and a row of trust notes.

• Delivery zones: the demo sets Inside Dhaka at ৳80 and Outside Dhaka at ৳120. Add zones by weight or area as you grow.
• Cash on delivery is on. Add bKash, Nagad or cards with their WooCommerce plugins.
• Welcome coupon: WELCOME200 is created for the demo.
• Delivery details on each product: 1–2 days inside Dhaka and 2–4 days outside by default.

Heavy orders cost more to deliver. WooCommerce lets you charge by weight or set a free-delivery amount, and you can show that amount in the utility bar.

Guest orders or accounts

Buyers can order as guests by default. Switch on "Orders need an account" in Theme Options and buyers sign in with a Bangladeshi mobile number or an email and a password in a pop-up. Signed-in buyers get a My Account dashboard, a wishlist and their past orders, which makes the next monthly bazar a two-minute job.

Shop page and filters

The shop page has a filter sidebar: search, categories, a price range in taka, average rating, stock status and on-sale items, with Apply and Reset. A restaurant buyer can find "oil under ৳900, in stock" quickly. Wishlist hearts sit on every card and a Track Order page is included.

For a wholesale WordPress theme these filters save the most time, because bulk buyers compare many similar items, such as five kinds of rice.

How light is it?

• One JavaScript file of 57.4 KB, about 14.5 KB compressed, in plain JavaScript.
• No jQuery needed by the theme itself.
• One stylesheet of about 100 KB compressed.
• No page builder, and web fonts can be switched off for system fonts.

WooCommerce and your plugins still load their own files; the theme leaves them alone, so every plugin keeps working. Product photos of sacks and bottles are easy to compress, so pages stay quick on the slow mobile data many shop owners use.

Running your wholesale WordPress theme day to day

You work in the normal WordPress and WooCommerce dashboard, with one Arot menu for the theme's own pages.

Morning rates and stock

Update the rates board in Theme Options each morning: item, unit, price and change. Then update product prices in WooCommerce. When a rice runs out, mark it out of stock and it stops taking orders.

Orders

Orders arrive in WooCommerce → Orders. Sort them by area for your van routes, then mark them completed when delivered.

Theme Options

Colours or a ready palette, fonts, button shape, the utility bar, the rates board, packs, tiers, price lists, every homepage block, checkout and accounts, company details, hours, payment logos and footer.

Enquiries, subscribers and licence

Contact form messages are emailed and kept under Arot → Enquiries, so a hotel's quote request is never lost. Newsletter sign-ups are listed under Subscribers. Activate your licence once and updates arrive in the dashboard.

Works with any WooCommerce plugin

Bulk pricing, minimum order, B2B account, SMS, courier and payment plugins use WooCommerce's normal hooks, so they work with this wholesale WordPress theme too.

1. Install WordPress and WooCommerce on your hosting.
2. Upload Arot in Appearance → Themes and activate it.
3. Activate your licence with the key from your Themeve account.

Photograph sacks and bottles on a plain background with the label facing the camera. Buyers want to read the variety and weight, so keep labels sharp.
