Theme Licensing & Transfers

License Overview​

Every Wonder Theme purchase grants a single-store license. This means each Shopify store running the Wonder Theme requires its own separate license, purchased through the Shopify Theme Store.

This is in accordance with Shopify's Terms of Service (Section 9.4), which requires merchants to hold a valid license for any theme in use.

One License, One Store​

  • Each license covers one live Shopify store
  • Running the Wonder Theme on multiple stores requires a separate purchase for each store
  • Licenses are tied to the store where the purchase was made

Multiple Markets on One Store​

If you operate multiple markets from a single Shopify store (for example, a US market and a European market), you only need one license. Multiple markets within the same Shopify store are covered by a single purchase.

However, if you run separate Shopify stores for different markets, each store needs its own license.

Development & Staging Stores​

You may install the Wonder Theme on a Shopify development store (password-protected, not processing real payments) without purchasing a separate license, provided that:

  • The theme has been purchased on the production store it is intended for
  • When contacting support about a development store, provide the production store URL so we can verify your license

This allows agencies and freelancers to build and test client stores before going live.

Unlicensed Usage​

Themes obtained from sources other than the Shopify Theme Store are not legitimate and are not eligible for support or updates. If you are using an unlicensed copy, we strongly recommend purchasing a valid license or uninstalling the theme.

We reserve the right to report unlicensed usage to Shopify in accordance with their intellectual property policies.

License Transfers​

License transfers between stores are managed by Shopify directly. If you need to move your theme license to a different store, please contact Shopify Support for assistance with the transfer process.

note

License transfers typically require closing the original store. Contact Shopify Support for the most current transfer policy.

Verifying Your License​

If you need to verify your theme license status, you can:

  1. Check your Shopify admin under Online Store > Themes
  2. Contact Shopify Support for license confirmation
  3. Reach out to our support team with your store URL
