How the pieces fit

  • The kernel is the core: customers, the wallet, orders, the admin panel, themes, languages and updates.
  • Plugins add each feature: the auctions, each auction tool, the shop, a payment gateway. The Plugins page in the admin lists them, and each can be switched on or off.
  • Themes change how the storefront looks without changing what it does.
  • Your licence decides what your store can install. The setup wizard reads it and offers everything it includes.
