What the differences between Transformer theme and Panda theme.
Transformer v4 and Panda v2, they are for Prestashop1.7, they are very similar functionally about 90%, currently the main differences of them are on the design level. They will be more and more different in future, they will have their own unique features.
Transformer v3 and Panda v1, they are for 1.6, I recommend panda v1 for you, simply because it has at least 30% more features that Transformer v3.
This is a list of main differences, samll differences aren't listed. Other common features are also not listed.
