If I download the Open Source version, can I upgrade to the full Hero eCommerce software later?

Of course! Download and use the Hero Open Source version for now and, whenever you are ready, head over to the Hero eCommerce page to learn more about how to add an online store, subscription billing, and full payment gateway libraries to your Hero app.

You can purchase a Hero eCommerce license at anytime, and upgrade by simply uploading the Hero eCommerce modules right into your current install, along with your license file. No installation or configuration necessary.

How can I "white label" brand Hero with my product name?

If you want to re-brand the open source version, follow these custom branding instructions in the User Guide.

If you would like to white label the full eCommerce release, create a free trial to setup your initial hosted account. After setup, you can configure your white label preferences, create new licenses, download your custom branded release, and more!
