When you purchase an item on WPBay, you’re buying a license to use that item, not ownership of the item itself. Each license grants you specific rights based on how many sites you intend to use the product on, and whether your project is for personal use, client work, or resale.
License Types
WPBay sellers may offer a variety of licenses depending on their pricing model. These typically include:
Standard Licenses (1 Site, 2 Sites, 5 Sites, …, 100 Sites, Unlimited Sites)
What you can do:
- Use the item on the specified number of websites (yours or your client’s).
- Install the item on production or staging environments.
- Use it in commercial or non-commercial projects where the final product is not resold as a standalone item.
What you can’t do:
- Resell or redistribute the item itself.
- Include the item in templates or SaaS platforms where it can be reused by others (unless you have a Developer License).
Most buyers will find these licenses suitable for everyday use.
Developer License
What you can do:
- Use the item in projects that are sold or redistributed, such as:
- SaaS applications
- Web templates
- WordPress themes or plugins for resale
- Client work that will be resold or hosted for multiple users
- Use it on unlimited domains or subdomains.
What you can’t do:
- Resell the item as-is or standalone.
- Claim the item as your own intellectual property.
The Developer License is ideal for agencies, resellers, and product developers.
Payment Options
Each license may be sold under one of the following pricing models:
- One-Time Payment – Pay once, use forever under the license terms.
- Monthly Subscription – Continuous access and updates as long as you maintain your subscription.
- Yearly Subscription – Lower long-term cost, billed annually for access and updates.
The available pricing model is determined by the seller.
Not Sure Which License You Need?
Here’s a simple test:
- Will your project be sold, redistributed, or reused by others?
→ Get the Developer License. - Is it a website or project for you or a client, with no resale or reuse?
→ A Standard License (1 site, 5 sites, etc.) is perfect.
