Which plugins do I need to set up a premium theme store?

Hi,

I'd like to know which are the best plugins (free or paid) to use for setting up a premium theme store with WordPress, for example - Viva Themes, Templatic, Elegant Themes or WooThemes.

Thank you.

EDIT: To make the question clearer (because I think my question has been slightly misunderstood), I actually mean which plugins do premium theme sellers like WooThemes, Templatic, Viva Themes etc use to sell their themes?

Apologies for any confusion.

    The best plugin I have ever seen for shops is WP e-Commerce. It is flexible, fully customizable and very easy to use. The good feature is integration with paypal. This plugin is free but there are few paid addons.

      Seems Templatic use it. Not sure about WooThemes.
      But there is no impossible things for e-Commerce :)

      You could also watch nice themes for it on Templatic.

    Choose Templatic theme, that's easy setup and easy controling. Try demo version of site from www.templatic.com .

    That's very well. After that you can test Elegantthemes, it's got good administration panel.

    Best regards,

    Hello Gemma,

    I believe Viva uses e-junkie.com,

    Cheers!

    EDIT: If the final answer is more custom, then maybe you don’t have to … Viva seems to be doing fine with ejunkie.

    Go with West Coast Design on this one. The majority of theme sellers (that I know about) use e-junkie.
