The WooCommerce Storefront is a simple and powerful theme that is free. This theme provides you with significant control over your store regarding product presentation and user access. It is free and offers you a plethora of customization options through child themes.

Moreover, I highly recommend using a child theme to keep the changes you have made while updating. Additionally, the Storefront theme supports the WordPress customizer, and you can edit the header from this section.

Editing the header of a theme can be a difficult task for the average WordPress user. CSS makes it easier to customize a particular section’s styling.

For this tutorial, you need to have some coding skills. We will add the CSS rules in the Additional CSS section via the customizer.

The advantage of using this section is that the WordPress customizer allows you to edit in a real-time manner. You can see the changes you make before you can publish your changes.

It is also worth mentioning that the Storefront theme needs to be the active theme when customizing it.

With that said, let us look at how you can make the Storefront header transparent.

Steps to Make the Storefront Header Transparent

Log into your WordPress site and access the Dashboard as the admin user.
From the Dashboard menu, click on Appearance Menu > Customize.
