Fees for 3rd-Party Premium Licenses
Cmsmart collaborates with third-party plugins and services to extend store functionality (e.g., payment gateways, SEO tools, and shipping services). These plugins may require separate licensing fees, billed directly by the plugin developers.
- Cmsmart's Role: Cmsmart assists in integrating third-party services into your store but does not include their licensing fees in its standard subscriptions. Examples include Dokan Pro, Elementor Pro, and SEO plugins.
- Integration Fees: Cmsmart may charge additional fees for complex integrations or configurations of third-party tools.
- Client Responsibility: Clients must purchase and manage third-party licenses directly with the providers. Cmsmart helps in selecting and integrating these tools.
Third-Party Plugin Compatibility
Cmsmart Store supports thousands of WordPress plugins, as it is built on WooCommerce. This includes:
- Payment Gateways: Plugins like Stripe and PayPal.
- Shipping Plugins: Tools for logistics management.
- SEO Tools: Plugins such as Yoast SEO and Squirrly SEO.
- Product Customization: Tools like Product Designer.
- Email Marketing: Integrations with Mailchimp and similar platforms.
Note: Compatibility may vary based on the specific version of Cmsmart Store. Some older plugins or themes may not work with newer versions (e.g., Cmsmart Store 5.0).
Licensing for Third-Party Plugins
- Separate Licenses: Most third-party plugins require individual licenses, managed and billed by the plugin developers.
- Example: If using Elementor Pro for page building, a separate Elementor Pro license is needed. Cmsmart will assist in integration and troubleshooting.
Cmsmart Support for Third-Party Plugins
Cmsmart provides integration and basic support for third-party plugins, including:
- Installation and Configuration: Assistance in setting up plugins to work with Cmsmart Store.
- Troubleshooting: Identifying compatibility issues and suggesting fixes or alternatives.
Limitations: For plugin-specific issues like bugs or updates, clients need to contact the plugin developers directly. Cmsmart does not provide direct support for these functionalities.
Updates for Third-Party Plugins
- Client Responsibility: Regular plugin updates must be performed by the client through the WordPress dashboard or official provider.
- Cmsmart Assistance: Cmsmart offers guidance during major updates and resolves compatibility issues if they arise after updates.
These terms clarify Cmsmart’s approach to features, third-party premium licenses, and plugin support, ensuring transparency about fees, support, and customization. If you need further details, feel free to ask!
