WordPress shop theme FAQ.

What people ask us most before they buy the shop theme.

How do I build an online store website with WordPress?

Install the WordPress Shop Theme, import the demo store and add your products with prices, photos and stock levels. The cart, checkout, tax and shipping are already part of the theme. There’s no WooCommerce setup and no coding.

Can I build a site like a professional online store?

Yes. You get a full storefront with product pages, categories, search and filters. Behind it sits a real checkout with discount codes, order emails and stock control. These are the same building blocks the big stores run on, managed from one admin area.

Can I sell physical products with a shopping cart?

Yes. The shopping cart, checkout, tax, shipping, stock control and 100+ payment gateways are built into the theme, so no WooCommerce or extra ecommerce plugins are needed. The cart handles physical goods with weight-based and regional shipping, live stock tracking and tax rules per country or per product. It sells digital downloads too if you carry both.

Does the online store theme work with Elementor?

Yes. Storefront pages are editable in the free Elementor plugin. There are 150+ store blocks, like product grids, promo banners and category rows, that you drag into place to build your shop pages.

Will my site look like the online store demo out of the box?

Yes. The one-click import recreates the demo store on your domain, complete with sample products and categories. You start from a stocked, working shop and swap in your own catalogue.

Do I need coding skills to run an online store?

No. Orders, refunds, stock, shipping rules and design changes are all handled in the admin area or the free Elementor editor. Step-by-step video tutorials cover the whole store setup.

Will my online store work on mobile phones?

Yes. Product pages, the cart and the entire checkout adapt to any screen size. Most store traffic now comes from phones, and customers can browse and buy right there.

Can I launch more than one online store with a single licence?

Yes. A User License covers unlimited stores on sites you own, so you can run separate shops for different niches on one licence. If you build stores for clients, the Developer License covers commercial work.

Can I move my existing online store to PremiumPress?

Yes. Export your products from Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, eBay or Amazon and upload the file in Settings › Import / Export. The layout is recognised automatically, so titles, descriptions, prices, images and stock come across in one go. Any other store can be imported from a CSV file, and re-uploading the same file updates the products rather than duplicating them.

Is there a free or nulled version of the WordPress Shop Theme?

No. An online store is the worst place to risk a nulled theme, since tampered copies often hide malware that targets checkouts and customer data. The genuine Shop Theme is a one-time purchase with 6 months of updates and support and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

What’s the refund policy on the WordPress Shop Theme?

Every purchase has a 14-day money-back guarantee. Set up the demo store, add test products and run a test order. If the Shop Theme isn’t right for your store, contact us within 14 days for a full refund.

How often is the online store theme updated?

The Shop Theme is updated regularly for WordPress compatibility, with the cart and checkout maintained alongside it. Your purchase includes 6 months of updates and support, and you can extend that at $49 per 6 months if you want to.

Are there any hidden costs to run an online store?

No. The cart, checkout, tax, shipping and stock tools are all included, and we take no cut of your sales. You keep everything minus your payment gateway’s standard processing fee. The only optional extra is extending updates and support after the first 6 months, at $49 per 6 months.
