Licensing & Updates
The Flavor Starter Theme and WP eCommerce Core Plugin use a tiered licensing system to manage feature access and automatic updates.
How It Works
- Install the Flavor Core Plugin on your WordPress site
- Activate your license from the main Flavor page
- Install products directly from the dashboard — Theme and Plugin are downloaded automatically
- Features unlock based on your license tier
- Updates are managed from the main Flavor page
Plans
Flavor has two plans, Starter and Business — a license is required to activate and install the products in the first place, and each license covers one site. There is no free version. (That applies to activation: if an already-running store's subscription lapses later, the store stays online — see below.)
- Starter — the complete online store: products, every payment method, couriers, marketplace feeds, and the storefront modules.
- Business — everything in Starter, plus the full ERP (Invoicing with myDATA, Inventory, Purchasing, Accounting, CRM, HR) and the developer modules.
See Plans & Features for the full comparison and the 30-day money-back guarantee.
What happens if your subscription lapses?
A lapsed subscription never takes your store down. Your store stays online and keeps taking orders — pages, products, checkout and your data are untouched, and nothing is ever deleted. Premium capabilities pause until you renew (premium payment gateways — cash-on-delivery and bank transfer stay available — the ERP suite, and premium theme modules), and updates, new installs and support stop. An opt-in grace period (14 days by default) keeps everything at full capacity while you renew; renewing from your portal restores everything instantly.
License Key Format
License keys follow this format:
FLVR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
The last group is a checksum for validation.
Support Portal

Security
Your license is protected by multiple verification layers:
- License Key — HMAC-signed key validation
- Domain Binding — License is tied to your specific domain
- Fingerprint — Ed25519 signed token stored on your server
- Periodic Verification — Automatic check every 12 hours
Staging domains (localhost, .test, .local, .dev, .staging) don't count toward your domain limit.
