Features

Beautiful Product Pages

Showcase your products with stunning, conversion-optimised pages. Hero sections, feature highlights, pricing cards with per-variant selling points, FAQs, and specifications - all styled to your brand colours. Add scroll entrance animations for a polished feel, choose your border radius style, set a max width, or inherit your theme's fonts. No design skills required.

Automatic Product Sync

Connect your Lemon Squeezy store and your products sync automatically. Prices, descriptions, and variants stay up-to-date without manual work. Schedule syncs hourly, daily, or trigger them manually when you need instant updates.

Seamless Checkout Experience

Customers purchase without leaving your site. Zest uses Lemon Squeezy's secure checkout overlay - payments happen in a modal, not a redirect. Your branding stays front and center while Lemon Squeezy handles the transaction securely.

Customer License Portal

Give customers instant access to their purchases and downloads. They verify their email, see their orders, copy license keys, and download the latest version of your plugin - all without creating yet another account. Optional registration available for customers who want faster access next time.

Built for Developers

Extensible from top to bottom. 40+ action hooks and filters let you customise everything from templates to checkout URLs. Override any template in your theme. Ship automatic updates to your customers with a single-file updater class - just drop it into your plugin. Built on WordPress coding standards with clean, documented code.

No WooCommerce Required

Skip the complexity. Zest works with any WordPress theme — no WooCommerce, no cart, no checkout pages to configure. Lemon Squeezy is your payment processor. WordPress is your storefront. Simple.

Self-Hosted Plugin Updates

Distribute updates directly from your WordPress site. Upload releases with version numbers, changelogs, and requirements - Zest handles the rest. Your customers see updates in their WordPress dashboard just like any plugin from the repository. License-validated downloads, single-use tokens, and full download logging keep everything secure.

Appearance Controls

Make Zest look like it belongs on your site. Set primary and accent colours, choose rounded or sharp corners, define a max content width, and inherit your theme's fonts. If your theme has a fixed header, Zest detects it automatically - or set the offset manually. Every setting outputs clean CSS custom properties you can build on.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Zest is a standalone plugin that connects directly to Lemon Squeezy. You don't need WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, or any other e-commerce plugin. This keeps your site fast and simple.

When customers click "Buy Now," the Lemon Squeezy checkout opens in a secure overlay on your site. Payment is processed entirely by Lemon Squeezy — card details never touch your server. After purchase, customers receive their license key via email from Lemon Squeezy.

Yes. Zest includes a customer portal where buyers can verify their email and instantly see all their purchases and license keys. They can copy keys with one click. Optionally, they can register a WordPress account for even faster access next time.

Zest displays license keys to your customers, but license validation in your own plugins requires separate implementation. However, Zest itself uses Lemon Squeezy licensing — the same pattern you can follow in your own products.

Absolutely. Every template can be overridden in your theme. We also provide 40+ hooks for customizing data, URLs, and behavior without touching template files. The default design works great out of the box, but you have full control.

Products sync automatically from Lemon Squeezy on a schedule you choose (hourly, twice daily, or daily). You can also trigger a manual sync anytime. Changes to prices, descriptions, or variants in Lemon Squeezy appear on your site automatically.

Lemon Squeezy handles all tax calculation, collection, and remittance — including VAT, GST, and US sales tax. They're the Merchant of Record, so you don't need to worry about tax compliance. Zest just displays your products.

Zest works with any properly-coded WordPress theme. Product pages use their own templates that can be styled to match your site. The customer portal is rendered via shortcode, so it inherits your theme's page styling.

Active license holders receive automatic updates through the WordPress dashboard and access to priority email support. Updates include new features, bug fixes, and compatibility updates for new WordPress versions.

License options include single-site and unlimited-site tiers. Check the pricing section for current options. You can manage your license activations from your Lemon Squeezy customer portal.
