Free and Pro theme settings

Superfunky uses a companion model:

• the WordPress theme is GPL-2.0 and provides the Free control plane;
• the complete React/Vite storefront and shared UI library are MIT;
• Superfunky Pro is a separate backend companion that unlocks premium operational

capabilities.

There is no paid frontend fork. Free and Pro stores use the same open-source storefront.

Capability status: the tables below inventory implemented controls and intended ownership. They do not mean every backend behavior is fleet-hardened. The static storefront and discovery output are the verified release path; most backend, Pro, and companion behavior remains a staging-required implementation preview.

How the boundary works

Open Appearance > FunkyCommerce. Each field is labelled Free or Pro from the released theme schema.

Free settings work with the theme alone. Pro settings require the licensed companion and its runtime capability. Enter the licence key from Superfunky > Superfunky Licensing in the WordPress admin menu (provided by the Free theme, or by the free Superfunky Licensing plugin when a premium companion is used on a site without this theme active). Entering a Pro licence key does not turn third-party provider accounts, WordPress plugins, hosting, or managed services into included products.

Header and footer	Promotion copy and colour, header icon variants, copyright, social links, newsletter copy and privacy label
Layout	Site-wide header, footer, checkout, hero, card, cart, and profile-header composition, brand palette and radius, with a wp-admin preview canvas
Visual and content	Post/page widths, reduced-motion protection, custom storefront CSS, Gutenberg/global-style transfer
Checkout	Heading, introduction, trust/support messages, marketing label, terms text, submit label, physical/digital success headings, guest/optional/required account mode, and distraction-free presentation

Native WordPress menus, Gutenberg blocks, supported shortcodes, WordPress content, and the complete storefront source are also available without a paid frontend licence.

Pro companion capabilities

Area	Pro capabilities
Footer and identity	Sanitised extra footer HTML and native WordPress login branding
Currency and orders	Multiple display currencies, automatic/manual conversion policy, manual rates, and order prefixes
Payments and shipping	Frontend-selected PLN BLIK presentation with Stripe, Bitcoin/Ethereum settings and rate lock, shipping display matrix, free-shipping thresholds, and cart estimator
Multilingual and community	Language inheritance, multilingual community content, public profiles, following, and controlled media uploads
PWA and sound	PWA features and custom interaction sound assets
Build and deploy	Deploy webhook, scheduled rebuilds, rebuild interval, and build-status badge
Feeds and platform files	RSS/Atom and merchant product feeds, full LLM and AI policy/data files, and Apple merchant association
Analytics and scripts	GTM container, approved head/body scripts, and cookie-consent configuration
Advanced security	Upload protections, author and REST enumeration restrictions, HSTS, CSP, approved custom headers, HTTPS enforcement, bot/request filtering, login lockout/honeypot/challenge, custom native login path, and sanitised SVG uploads
Email and newsletter	Mailgun, sender identity, MailPoet/Mailchimp selection, double opt-in, order-email template, and form autoresponder
Forms and push	Akismet integration, controlled file uploads, and web-push/VAPID support

Some Pro fields are high-impact infrastructure controls. Test CSP, HSTS, forced HTTPS, custom login paths, file-modification locks, request filtering, upload rules, scripts, and deploy hooks on staging before production.

Current runtime boundaries

• Order-prefix, newsletter-provider, custom order-email, and web-push controls include

stored configuration, but their complete downstream workflows are not yet release-verified. Frontend-selected PLN BLIK and signed digital-order delivery have focused release coverage but must still be accepted against each store's gateway, currency rates, file host, and caching layer.

• Community, checkout context, notifications, companion plugins, and Pro entitlement

gating have automated coverage but still require capability-profile runtime acceptance.

• Storefront artifacts must remain shadow or off; static builds and rebuild hooks are

the supported content-delivery path.

• Licence-email delivery and tiered self-service subscriptions are not yet production

self-service features. Customer and guest digital-order downloads are available through WooCommerce-granted signed links.

Settings that belong elsewhere

The theme boundary does not replace the owning system:

Requirement	Authoritative system
Product prices, stock, taxes, zones, coupons, and order rules	WooCommerce
Payment secret keys and transaction processing	Payment gateway/plugin
WordPress users, roles, updates, and core URL settings	WordPress
DNS, TLS, CDN, backups, and server firewall	Hosting or managed service
Provider billing, sending reputation, analytics properties	External provider
Individual page/post/shortcode-instance view overrides	The shortcode's own attributes

For example, the theme may present currency or shipping information, but WooCommerce remains authoritative for checkout totals and fulfillment.

Choosing Free or Pro

Use Free when you:

• self-host and are comfortable managing deploys and integrations directly;
• need the full storefront source and standard visual/content controls;
• use provider plugins for operational features;
• do not need the companion's automation or advanced controls.

Add Pro when you need the backend companion's deploy automation, operational integrations, advanced hardening, community/PWA capabilities, provider configuration, or managed premium workflow.

Upgrade and downgrade safety

Before enabling Pro:

1. back up WordPress;
2. update the Free theme to a compatible release;
3. install and activate the Pro companion;
4. enter the licence key from Superfunky > Superfunky Licensing;
5. enable one capability at a time on staging.

Before deactivating Pro, disable Pro-owned hooks and infrastructure controls that could outlive the plugin, including deploy schedules, custom login routing, security headers, upload/server rules, and provider integrations. Free settings and the MIT storefront remain available.

This completes Customisation. Continue with post-processing and integrations after the store's design and content have passed review.
