Key takeaways
- Regular license: one store, owned by you or one client.
- Extended license: for agencies and freelancers using the theme on multiple client stores.
- Both include the full theme, free updates and support. Only the number of stores differs.
When you buy a theme from us, you'll see two options: Regular and Extended. They give you exactly the same theme files. The difference is how many stores you're allowed to use them on. Here's how to pick the right one in under a minute.
Regular license
The Regular license is for a single Shopify store. It's the right choice if:
- You're building or redesigning your own store.
- You're a freelancer building one store for one client.
- You want to test the theme on a development or staging copy of that same store.
Extended license
The Extended license is designed for agencies, freelancers and businesses that run several stores. Choose it if:
- You build stores for multiple clients and want to reuse the theme.
- You run several brands, each with its own Shopify store.
- You want one purchase instead of tracking separate licenses per project.
Quick comparison
| Regular | Extended | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of live stores | 1 | Multiple |
| Full theme files | Yes | Yes |
| Free lifetime updates | Yes | Yes |
| Support included | Yes | Yes |
| Use for client projects | One client | Many clients |
| Resell or redistribute the theme files | No | No |
Important: neither license allows reselling, sharing or publishing the theme files themselves — for example, uploading them to another marketplace or giving the ZIP to someone else.
Common questions
Can I use one Regular license on a test store and my live store?
Yes, as long as the test store is a working copy of the same single store you're building.
I bought Regular but now need more stores. What now?
Contact us and we'll help you upgrade without paying twice.
Do updates differ between licenses?
No. Every buyer gets the same updates for free, whichever license they choose.
Which license do I need if my client pays for the theme?
For a single client store, a Regular license is enough. If you plan to reuse the theme for other clients later, the Extended license will save you money.
The one-line rule
One store? Regular. More than one store? Extended.
