For more than a decade, you’ve known GoodLayers through ThemeForest. We’re proud of that journey, and we’re not going anywhere. But starting today, we’re also offering our premium themes directly here on goodlayers.com — at a better price, with longer support.

Here’s the honest story behind that decision, and exactly what you gain by buying from us directly.

The hard truth: the marketplace math stopped adding up

We love the marketplace model. It introduced our work to hundreds of thousands of customers. But starting July 1, 2026, Envato is rolling out major changes — a sharp increase in its commission, alongside the end of marketplace exclusivity. The higher commission makes the old model hard to sustain for a small, dedicated team that wants to keep improving its products; the removal of exclusivity is what finally allows us to sell our themes directly here on goodlayers.com.

Here’s the reality in plain numbers:

In the old model, a $59 theme left us with around $41 to fund development, updates, and your support. After the platform’s revenue-share changes, that same $59 sale leaves us with roughly $21 — less than half.

On top of that, under the old fixed-fee structure a WordPress theme also carried a $12 buyer fee plus a 12.5% commission baked into every purchase — costs that were never really about the product itself.

When the money that funds building better themes and helping you gets cut in half, something has to give. We refuse to let it be the quality of our themes or the speed of our support. So we’re giving you a better option instead.

Buying directly from GoodLayers: what changes for you

This isn’t just better for us — it’s genuinely better for you. Here’s what you get when you purchase right here on goodlayers.com.

1. A lower price — because there’s no middleman markup

Without the marketplace’s heavy commission and buyer fees, we pass the savings straight to you. Same theme, same quality, lower price. Simple.

2. A full year of support — and cheaper renewals

This is one of the biggest differences, and it’s worth spelling out clearly. On the marketplace, item support is sold in 6-month blocks, and renewing it gets more expensive the longer you wait:

When you buy directly from GoodLayers:

You start with twice the support window (a full year, not six months), and renewals come at a lower, friendlier rate — no escalating penalty for renewing late.

3. One-click automatic updates

Buying direct also means updates arrive the WordPress way — a notification in your dashboard, and update with a single click, just like any other plugin or theme. No logging into a marketplace account, hunting for the latest download, and manually re-uploading a ZIP.

At a glance: ThemeForest vs. buying direct

We’re still the same GoodLayers

Same themes you trust. Same team behind them. The only thing that’s changed is where the smartest place to buy them is.

By purchasing directly, you pay less, get supported longer — and you keep an independent studio healthy enough to keep shipping the themes you love.

How to Easily Create Tour with the Travel Tour Theme

Setting the Parameters

At the bottom of the page, you’ll see the tour settings section. You can set the tour type/date/price at the “DATE & PRICE” tab. You can set an extra tour information at “TOUR SETTINGS” tab, such as one day, multiple days, recurring, one time, room-based pricing and so on.

Variable Prices

As for the prices, you can set not only a fixed price for the tour but also a seasonal one. Other than that, a ‘Group’ discount can be enabled in the single tour setting > Date & Price.

Making Customize Search

Make the searching for users as comfortable as possible by customizing searching filters. Go to Tour > Add New Filter and then create a new filter. You can assign your tours to a new filter in the single tour editor page. Then you can also enable the filter in the search bar from search item setting(page builder).

Custom package

In the tour settings, you can find Creating Custom Package options, where you can set all the parameters like title, caption, base price etc to be used in many circumstances.

Tourmaster Tab

All the transaction can be easily set up in the Tourmaster tab. Go to “Tourmaster Plugin Option > General > Payment Page” to set up your payment template and sidebar. At “Payment > Payment Settings Tab”, select the payment method you want. You can learn more about how to obtain the payment API key in the next section.

The ‘Deposit’ payment can be configured in Tour Master option. Payments and also the feature that allows a customer to upload payment receipt and admin will be able to approve or reject (for manual money transfer purpose.) You can find features like ‘approve’, ‘cancel’, ‘reject’ and so on in the ‘Tourmaster’ tab.

Creating Login and Registration Page

You also need to set your ‘Creating Login/Registration’ page. First, you have to create two blank pages (‘Login’ page and ‘Register’ page in this case.) Go to the ‘Tour Master’ option > ‘Template Setting’ and choose your pages. In case you need setting up a social login you have to install the ‘Next End Social Login’ plugin.

Nextend Social Login

Nextend Social Login is a professional, easy to use and free WordPress plugin that lets your visitors register and login to your site using their social profiles instead of forcing them to spend valuable time to fill out the registration form.

They don’t need to wait for validation emails or keep track of their username and password. You can install Nextend Social Login through Plugins > Add New interface. Just search for the plugin’s name, then hit ‘Install’ and ‘Activate’.

Customer’s Dashboard

As a result of creating a site with this theme, you are getting comfortable to use the customer’s dashboard that specially created for the tour industry. Just take a look at the tabs where you can perform all that you need to manage the users’ activity like viewing booked tours, booking status, invoice, rating tour and so on.
