4 Quality Standards

6 Pricing Guidelines
You set your own price on TemplateTrip. We do not enforce minimum or maximum prices, but we strongly recommend pricing your products in line with their scope and market value.
| Product Category | Suggested Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify Themes | $29 – $129 | Feature-rich themes with multiple sections command higher prices |
| WordPress Themes | $29 – $99 | FSE / block themes typically priced lower than page-builder themes |
| WooCommerce Templates | $29 – $89 | Includes shop, product, cart, and checkout page designs |
| HTML Templates | $15 – $59 | Multi-page templates command more than single-page landing pages |
| UI Kits & Design Assets | $15 – $79 | Larger kits and design systems justify higher prices |
| Code & Scripts | $9 – $49 | Utility and price point depend heavily on scope and complexity |
| SaaS & App Templates | $39 – $199 | Full-stack starters with auth and DB command premium prices |
| AI Tools & Prompts | $9 – $79 | Functional tools priced higher than prompt packs alone |
Pricing principles:
- Price based on value delivered to the buyer — not just hours spent building it.
- Check comparable products on TemplateTrip and competitors before pricing.
- Offer limited-time discounts from your seller dashboard.
- Underpricing devalues your work — do not race to the bottom.
IMPORTANT
Do not list a product at an artificially inflated price solely to apply a large discount. Misleading pricing is grounds for listing removal.
7 Documentation Requirements
Good documentation reduces support requests, improves buyer satisfaction, and increases your product's star rating. For code-based products, documentation is mandatory. For design assets, it is strongly recommended.
Required (Code-based items)
- Installation guide & setup steps
- Configuration and options documentation
- Detailed software dependencies & minimum versions
- Demo data import instructions
- Changelog and version history per release
Strongly Recommended (All items)
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) block
- Common troubleshooting resolutions
- Visual screenshot-based setup flows
- Video walk-through links (YouTube/Vimeo)
- Format: HTML file, PDF, or hosted web page (English)
TIP
Sellers with comprehensive documentation receive significantly fewer support requests and consistently higher buyer ratings. Time invested in docs pays back in reduced support load.
8 Intellectual Property & Licensing
8.1 Ownership
Everything in your product must either be created entirely by you, or commercially licensed for inclusion and resale.
8.2 Allowed Assets
- Permissive open source libraries (MIT, Apache)
- Commercial-use stock media (declared)
- Google Fonts and public domain assets
- Licensed premium icon sets
8.3 Prohibited Assets
- Conflicting GPL code inclusions
- Trademarked brand logos or names
- Personal-use-only stock elements
- Scraped, copied, or unlicensed assets
8.4 Declaring assets, 8.5 Retain ownership, & 8.6 Infringement reports
Declare all third-party components inside your documentation. You retain full intellectual property ownership of your products; buyers only purchase a license to use it.
If you detect copyright infringement on the platform, file a complaint directly to [email protected] for prompt removal.
IMPORTANT
Submitting a product that contains unlicensed third-party assets is the single most common reason for rejection. Check every included asset before submitting.
9 Support Obligations
Buyers purchase your product expecting it to work. As a seller, you are responsible for providing support within the scope defined on your product listing.
9.1 Minimum Support Window:
6 months of support from date of purchase (declared on product listing).
9.2 What Support Covers:
- Fixing code bugs and critical product defects
- Basic installation setup assistance
- Addressing declared compatibility concerns
- Explaining how product features work
9.3 What Support Does NOT Cover:
- Custom modifications or extra custom sections
- Troubleshooting external plugins/third-party services
- General hosting server configuration setups
- Issues caused by buyer files modifications
9.4 Response Time: Response is expected within 2 business days. Unresponsive support statuses may result in demotion or suspension.
9.5 Refund Requests: You have 5 business days to respond or resolve a refund request before escalations.
TIP
Sellers who respond to support requests quickly consistently earn higher ratings. A 5-star product with fast support sells far better than a 5-star product with slow support.
10 Seller Conduct
You must NOT:
- Manipulate ratings, write fake reviews, or solicit paid reviews.
- Disparage other sellers, products, or the platform.
- Use misleading marketing copy or fake claims/sales counts.
- Redirect buyers outside the platform for offsite purchases.
- Spam/harvest buyer data or impersonate others.
You MUST:
- Keep product listings up to date and functional.
- Honor stated support commitments professionally.
- Maintain respectful, good-faith messaging.
- Announce updates through the version release system.
- Keep payout details valid and current.
11 The Review Process
Every product submitted to TemplateTrip is reviewed by our team before it goes live. Here is exactly what happens after you hit submit.
