May I know if I can run the flatsome theme on the alidropship plugin, no woo commerce?
I'm struggling to display the products. I can't find any products grid to display.
The plugin has no shortcodes to paste as well.
Am I limited to specific themes only if I am not using woocommerce?
Thanks!

Hello!

Woocommerce is required for Flatsome, so it can not be used without it.

These ones will not require Woocommerce:

I'm just a regular AliDropship user, but from my experience:

Short answer - no, Flatsome won't really work without WooCommerce.

Flatsome is built 100% around WooCommerce. Its product grids, shop pages, and elements all pull data from WooCommerce products. If you're not using WooCommerce, there's basically nothing for Flatsome to display, which is why you don't see any product grids or shortcodes working.

AliDropship does work without WooCommerce, but in that case you're limited to:

AliDropship's own themes

Or very simple themes that support custom post types

That's also why you don't see shortcodes - Flatsome expects WooCommerce shortcodes, not AliDropship ones.

So your options are:

Use WooCommerce + Flatsome + AliDropship (most flexible)

Skip Flatsome and use an AliDropship-supported theme

Or switch to a very basic theme if you want no WooCommerce

You're not doing anything wrong - it's just a theme compatibility thing
