How do I build a stock photography website with WordPress?+
Install the WordPress Stock Photography Theme, import the demo library and upload your photos and videos with a price and licence on each one. Search, collections, cart, checkout and instant download delivery are already wired together. You can be selling your first image the same day with no coding.
Can I build a site like Shutterstock or Adobe Stock?+
Yes. You get a searchable stock library with keyword search, hand-picked collections, licence tiers and instant downloads on your own domain. Contributor accounts are built in as well, so you can go further and run a multi-photographer marketplace where others upload, sell and share revenue with you.
Can I sell photos and videos with automatic downloads?+
Yes. Both images and video clips are supported. Files are delivered through protected links that only work after payment clears, so a buyer can't pass a working download URL around. Buyers re-download their purchases any time from their own account instead of emailing you for a lost file.
Can other photographers sell on my site and share the revenue?+
Yes. Open contributor accounts and photographers upload their own work from a front-end dashboard. You approve submissions, set the commission split and pay out, and you keep the rest. You decide whether the site is your own portfolio or an open marketplace.
Can I sell royalty-free licences and set my own prices?+
Yes. Attach licence options such as personal, commercial and extended to each photo or bundle. Price them however you like, or sell download credits and subscription plans. You keep 100% of every sale minus your payment gateway's fee, and we take no marketplace commission.
Can I customise my stock photo website with Elementor?+
Yes. Every page is editable in the free Elementor plugin. There are 150+ pre-built blocks to drag into place and match your brand, including image grids, masonry galleries, featured-collection strips, photographer profiles and pricing tables.
Does the stock photography theme come with demo content?+
Yes. One-click import rebuilds the live demo library on your own domain, with sample photos, categories, collections and the full checkout flow. You replace placeholder images with your own instead of starting from an empty site.
Is the stock photography theme mobile responsive?+
Yes. The gallery, image search, lightbox, cart, checkout and each buyer's download library all work on phones and tablets. People discover and buy images on mobile and re-download them later from the same account.
Can I use the WordPress Stock Photography Theme on more than one site I own?+
Yes. A single User License covers unlimited photo sites you own. A travel library, a food-photography shop and a wildlife stock site can all run on one licence. Building photo sites for clients calls for the Developer License.
Can I download the stock photography theme for free?+
No. A stock library holds your life's work plus buyers' card details, and trusting that to a tampered nulled theme is a bad bargain. The genuine licence costs once and includes 6 months of updates and support with a 14-day guarantee.
Can I get a refund if the theme isn't right for me?+
Yes. You get 14 days, money back. Import the demo library, upload a few test images and run a purchase through the cart. If it has not convinced you by then, take the refund.
Do I need any paid plugins to run a stock photo website?+
No. Image search, collections, licensing, the cart, secure delivery, memberships and the contributor system are all native theme features. The design layer is free Elementor. Hosting and a domain are your only bills, and support renewal after 6 months stays optional.
