Theme Requirements
Ecommerce Themes, a division of iThemes Media, makes ecommerce website templates to be used in the free WordPress software platform. In short, in order to use one of our themes, you’ll need:
- basic knowledge of WordPress and HTML (although we try hard to minimize the HTML part for you)
- a domain name
- web hosting (Linux platform)
- the free WordPress software installed
Most popular web hosting companies, like GoDaddy, HostGator and Doreo, offer a “one-click” install of WordPress. However, if you don’t want to mess with installing WordPress on your hosting account, we offer an installation/optimization service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Because we’ve received questions regarding WordPress and our themes, we wrote an article called How to Use WordPress to Run Your Ecommerce Storefront.
How do I handle payment processing?
Ecommerce Themes is just the base web template, and does not include digital payment processing. We suggest using Paypal for payment processing and E-junkie for digital delivery.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a free content management system. Simply put, it makes creating and maintaining websites super easy through an online interface. Once it’s installed on your domain and web hosting, all you need is a compute and internet connection to edit your website. And if you know how to use Microsoft Word, then you can operate WordPress.
Is this theme WordPress 2.5 compatible?
YES
Can I resell your themes?
No, you may not resell any of our themes in any way, shape or form. However, our Developer’s Package allows you to remove the footer links and use the theme on multiple sites and for your clients.
Can I remove the credits in the footer?
You may only remove the credits if you have purchased the Developer’s Package.
What is your refund policy?
Because of the nature of our themes — which are digitally delievered and non-tangible goods — we cannot offer refunds or chargebacks for purchases. Therefore, please read our FAQs carefully before purchasing your theme. And as always, you can email questions to us!
