Frequently Ask Questions “FAQs”
What is Costeca?
Costeca is a platform that offers a vast collection of premium software products essential for website development, including high-quality WordPress themes and plugins. We provide these products at a fraction of the cost compared to the original developers, making premium web design tools more accessible to everyone.
Why are your prices so low?
At Costeca, all of our WordPress themes and plugins are licensed under the General Public License (GPL). This license allows us to purchase these products and redistribute them at a much lower price than their original retail value.
When you make a purchase on our site, the funds are used to maintain and acquire new products from third-party authors, effectively supporting the ecosystem. This crowd-funded approach allows us to keep our prices incredibly low and pass those savings directly onto you.
What’s the difference between individual purchases and Membership?
When you make an individual purchase from Costeca, you’ll pay a one-time fee. With this purchase, you’ll receive free updates for that product. To access future updates, simply visit your My Account > Downloads page, where you can download the latest version. You can also use the product on an unlimited number of websites.
On the other hand, if you opt for a membership (available in one-month or lifetime), you’ll have access to unlimited downloads of all premium themes and plugins on our site for the duration of your membership. This includes direct access to the latest updates from the product page. Your membership allows you to receive updates until it expires. If you want to continue receiving updates, you will need to renew your membership.
Our agency customers typically choose the lifetime plan as it allows them to use premium themes and plugins for multiple projects, giving them flexibility across different client websites.
Are the files and download are legal?
Yes, all themes, plugins, add-ons, and WooCommerce extensions distributed by our repository are 100% open-source under the GNU GPL license.
Do you provide a License or API Key?
We do not offer licenses or API keys for the products we sell. All of our themes and plugins are provided under the GPL license, which grants full access to use, modify, and distribute the products. The only feature a license typically provides is automatic updates, which we do not include with our products.
Some developers may require an API key for additional features or premium content, but we ensure that all the products on Costeca are free from such requirements. You can confidently download and use any of our themes or plugins without worrying about needing a license or API key to make them work.
How do I update my products then?
Updating your products is easy! Whenever a theme or plugin developer releases a new version, we ensure that the updated product is available on our website.
For individual purchases, simply go to My Account > Downloads, find the product you purchased, and download the latest version. Then, upload it to your website as you did with the previous version, and it will automatically replace the old one.
What is GPL?
The term open source refers to software that is freely available for use. It means you are free to use, modify, distribute, or improve the software as you see fit.
WordPress itself is open-source software and is built on the GPL (General Public License). This license ensures that all WordPress-related products remain open and accessible. You can learn more about it directly on the WordPress website.
The key takeaway is that any software developed for WordPress must comply with the GPL license, meaning it is available for redistribution and modification without restriction.
