Developers
How do I become a CandyPress Developer?
The developer plan is primarily aimed at software developers and web
designers. When you buy a license from us for a particular product, you
automatically qualify to become a developer of that product. As a
developer you can buy licenses from us at a discount, and resell
those licenses to your customers for the full price.
How do I get the developer discount?
To receive the discount, you must
send us an email,
with a valid order number for any existing order you have placed
with us, requesting the developer discount code. We will then create a 15% discount code for you that can be used
for future purchases.
What are the rules and limitations?
1. You cannot advertise the shopping cart, re-brand or sell it as a standalone product
or your product.
In the past, this practice caused a lot of confusion amongst customers who weren't sure
if the reseller / developer was legitimate or selling "bootleg" copies. Therefore, you can only sell
the cart as a supporting product to other services. For example, developers
will mainly be web designers who occasionally want to use our product to
install a shopping cart solution for the customer.
2. You must buy a license from us for EACH copy (modified or
unmodified) that you install. For example, if you want to
use our software to implement a shopping cart for a client, you must
buy a license from us
first (using the discount). You will then bill
your client for the full price.
3. You may replace or remove all visible references to CandyPress on the
store front pages. You may not remove the CandyPress copyright notices within the scripts and on the
pages shown via the admin (back-end).
You can however
add your own copyright notice if you made modifications to
the code.
4. You may modify the code on behalf of a client to whom you are
selling the license. For example, if the client wants a special function
that is not available as standard, but can be implemented by modifying
the code, you may make such a modification.
5. You may charge extra for any modifications you make or services you
provide. For example, you can charge extra for adding functionality to
the product, installing the product, customizing the layout and
design of the product, etc.
6. You may write and sell modified source packages (mods) to the CandyPress
base source code. For example, language packs, batch update mods, enhancements
to the
store administration. You may not sell a complete store as a modification
or a complete administration package.
7. You may
not sell an entire modified or unmodified CandyPress Shopping Cart.
For example, a stand alone shopping cart software package for used car dealers based on
CandyPress.
8. A mod must replace or append files to the original CP files
and structure.
9. You are responsible for all support for the products you modify and develop.
Your clients can not contact us directly for support unless your client made the purchase
at the full purchase price..
CandyPress reserves the right to change these rules at
any time.
