Storefront designs
Shape a complete store look in your developer store: colours, fonts, header, footer and pages, built from Wcart’s own sections. Import it in one click and add presets for alternative palettes and typefaces.

Build themes and plugins for Wcart stores, and get paid for every store that uses them
Design storefront themes without writing platform code, or connect your own service as a plugin. Start with a free developer store, ship through review, and earn even when your work comes bundled in a plan.
- Free developer store, forever
- No platform code to touch
- INR or USD pricing, monthly payouts
What you can build
Integrations on your own server
From a simple settings-and-webhook feature to a full service. Merchants install with OAuth consent, fill in your settings form and open your page inside their admin, while you use the scoped API and signed webhooks.

How you earn
Set one price in your currency. Wcart completes the pricing and pays you your share however a store gets your work.
| How a store gets it | What you earn |
|---|---|
| The store buys it | Your share of what the store paid, on every purchase and renewal |
| Wcart includes it in the store’s plan | Your share of your own price, for every such store |
| Wcart gives it to the store free | Your share of your own price, for every such store |
Earnings are held for a refund window, then paid monthly by bank transfer or UPI. You can also publish free listings.
Built for developers
A real store to test in
Your developer store is a full Wcart store in demo mode. Design, install and test against real admin screens.
Every version reviewed
Submit versions, read reviewer notes and see which version is live and which is in review.
Stores stay isolated
Each install gets its own scoped token, so a plugin only ever reaches the store that installed it.
Clear pricing
One base price in INR or USD. Wcart sets the other currency, billing and plan inclusion.
Your dashboard
Listings, versions, installs, earnings and payouts in one place, with a CSV statement.
Documentation
Step-by-step guides for themes and plugins, the manifest, the API, OAuth and webhooks.
Frequently asked questions
What can I build for Wcart?
Two things. Themes: complete storefront designs built from Wcart’s own sections, with optional presets. Plugins: any integration that runs on your own server and connects to stores through OAuth, a scoped API and signed webhooks.
Do I need access to Wcart’s code?
No. A theme is configuration you design in your free developer store and import in one click. A plugin is your own service. Nothing you write is deployed into Wcart.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. Sign up and you get a free-forever developer store to design and test in. It can never go live or take real orders, so you can experiment freely.
How do I get paid?
You set one price in INR or USD. When a store buys your theme or plugin you keep your share of what it paid. When Wcart gives it free or includes it in a plan, you still earn your share of your own price for every store that gets it. Earnings are held for a refund window, then paid monthly by bank transfer or UPI.
Can I publish something for free?
Yes. Choose Free on a listing and any store can install it at no cost.
How does review work?
Every version you submit is reviewed before merchants get it. Reviewers either approve it or send notes, and updates to a live listing go through the same review while merchants keep the current version.
