Add-ons and themes

Your store comes with 53 plugins and 4 themes. When you want to do more, add plugins and themes from the add-on store inside your admin panel, and switch them on without touching any code.

Add one in a few clicks

  1. Open the add-on store

    In your admin panel, open Add-ons, linked from the Plugins and Themes pages. The Browse tab lists the plugins, themes and bundles your store can add, by category.

  2. Buy it

    Pay with your linked WowCodes account or by card. Only the main Administrator can buy.

  3. Install and switch it on

    The Owned tab lists everything you own, with buttons to install it and switch it on. Staff who manage settings can install what you already own.

Each package is checked against a digital signature before it installs, and one that fails the check, or isn't signed, is never installed. Updates for your add-ons arrive the same way as the rest of your store: see Updates and add-ons.

What's on sale

The add-on store can change as new add-ons arrive, so the Browse tab is the place to see what your store can add today and what each one costs. The ideas below are examples, not the full list.

Change the look with a new theme

Classic, Editorial, Bazaar and Prism come with your store. Many more themes, made for different kinds of store, are in the add-on store under Themes. A theme you own installs and switches on from the same Owned tab, and you can schedule a seasonal theme to switch on and off by itself. See Themes and homepage.

Changing theme changes the look. Your listings, customers and orders stay as they are.

Build your own

For something the add-on store doesn't have, write a plugin or theme of your own. It lives in its own folder, so updates never overwrite it. See Where to put your own changes.
